Imagine you are playing a show, and a SKATEBOARD hits your instrument while it is on your face!
Such was the case with renowned Broadway trumpeter, Raúl Agraz recently while playing in a Broadway pit orchestra.
Sometimes injury happens due to physiology mishaps, some through overuse.
Some are due to traumatic experiences with our body, like Raul.
Regardless of the cause, injury requires a LOT of patience, which Raul cites as his main tool to getting through his injury recovery.
