My Musical Biography:

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Eladio P. Aguilar, and I’ve been in the music industry just about all of my life. My music engagement spans over 23 years and I have loved every minute of it.

I've performed in many various settings such as in the following. I have played in church weddings, special events, and with the Regiment Of The Light (ROTL) band (first chair) including two tours: one throughout California and the other, the Pacific Northwest. I’ve performed internationally in our neighboring Latin country, Mexico. I've done studio work, too. I’ve performed "live" jazz concerts in restaurants. I’ve had the honor of playing with celebrated musicians such as Barry White’s guitar player among others whose names unfortunately escape me at the moment. Also, I’ve played for many dances, for the military (including for a one star general, a POW of 42 months, and a sight read performance in front of an audience of at least 5,000 soldiers, which turned out quite well as I recall), and I’ve performed "live” over the radio several times throughout all of Kern County in California. I'm in the Guinness Book of World Records for being in the World’s Largest Marching Band directed by Danny Kaye. I’ve also performed in a pit orchestra, either as lead/second trumpet player, for many well-known musicals such as the Sound of Music, Winter Wonderland, Music Man, and the like with the Arise Academy Performing Arts orchestra also based here in California.

My education in music includes college study in music theory and composition, orchestra and jazz bands, and piano (keyboard). I’ve studied trumpet privately for years under Glenn T. Colangelo, a long-time student of the foremost authority on trumpet, Claude Gordon. I've also studied privately for years under the renowned Prof. David B. Evans (Brass Instructor for Cal State Long Beach, former Brass Instructor at Azusa Pacific University, 13-Year Student of the famous Claude Gordon, Former Principal Trumpet Player of the Chapman Symphony, Trumpet Section Member of the LA Philharmonic Orchestra, and Trumpet Soloist).

I've taught publicly in the high schools for 2 years as a brass instructor, privately taught for several years up to the present-time, and instructed at band camp as well (including assigning trumpet chairs). I am currently directing an academy of the performing arts including teaching private lessons and performing, too.

Success is taught by the successful. As you know, success leaves clues, so when you are taught by the best; it is inevitable that you become the best.

For an idea of my work (two samples without accompaniment), visit: www.myspace.com/IndependentTrumpetArtist or just click on the above tab Audio/Video for one flugelhorn ballad (again without accompaniment). I'm available for weddings, special events, studio recording(s), and/or concerts. I'm also available for private instruction. For more information, price quotes, and availability, call (505) 271-6481.

Thank you very much for giving of your time. Because you read this lengthy letter, that tells me you're serious and the type of person I want to deal with.

I'm looking forward to hearing you play/sing and to hearing from you!

Warmest regards to everyone & God bless,
Eladio P. Aguilar
