In the third installment of the Rafael Mendez special entitled "The Trumpet," Mendez discusses his amazing finger dexterity and breath control, and then to illustrate these concepts he plays Flight of the Bumble Bee (with a super close-up on his fingers) and an excerpt from The Mexican Hat Dance (played entirely in one breath).Mendez is a tour de force on the trumpet. Anyone who is interested in trumpets and trumpet playing should not miss this video.

Rofl guys hes not doing that in one breath...theres a technique where you can breath in through your nose and expell it out through your mouth

I hope White "Americans" keep thinking that Mexicans are only good to clean floors and all those horrible stereotypes they have for us.But im glad there is some of us that were born to prove them wrong..."God Bless America the racist"
