Sound Pathways with Karen Olson Ph.D.
Sound Pathways with Dr. Karen Olson Guest, Syreeta Thompson Trumpet, Service, and the Sound of Love Summary A Trumpet Voice Rooted in Family and Faith Dr. Karen Olson welcomes trumpeter, recording artist, educator, clinician, composer, and mentor Syreeta Thompson for a conversation centered on music, service, courage, and love. Thompson explains that music was part of her life from childhood, shaped by parents who valued music and by her earliest experiences playing trumpet in church before formal lessons. She describes how the trumpet became her voice because it allowed her to be heard, even as she still considers herself somewhat introverted. Becoming the Trumpet Lady Thompson shares the story behind the name Trumpet Lady, which came from gospel artist Hezekiah Walker while she was in graduate school at NYU. As the only woman trumpet player in the band, she received the nickname because everyone in the group had one. Although she jokes that she is not sure whether she wants to be called the Trumpet Lady at 90 years old, the title has become part of her public identity and creative presence. Consistency, Creativity, and Building the Dream A major theme of the conversation is the discipline required to build a dream. Thompson emphasizes consistency, alignment, and the need to stay steady through more downs than ups. She describes her creative process as a mix of melody, groove, arrangement, collaboration, and stepping away to listen with fresh ears. Her upcoming album Legacy in Motion is discussed through examples such as her rearrangements of “Drive My Car” and “Hit the Road Jack,” blending styles such as R&B, funk, gospel, and house music. Service Through Music and Youth Support Thompson discusses her philanthropic work, including partnerships connected to Grammy Camp New York and children's wellness content. She also explains how her nonprofit work supports students and schools by helping provide instruments, repairs, and music supplies. The conversation highlights her efforts to bring music and creative arts support to children, schools, and young musicians who need access to resources and encouragement. Mentorship, Women in Music, and Creating a Seat at the Table Thompson credits great mentors for shaping her commitment to paying it forward, naming major instrumentalists who helped guide her path. She also speaks about the need for more commercial access and visibility for women musicians, especially female instrumentalists who are often typecast or expected to appear only in all-female settings. Her guiding philosophy is that if there is no seat at the table, a person should create their own seat at the table. Self-Care, Community, and Sound as Healing The episode closes with reflections on music as healing, communication, prayer, and service. Thompson shares that she protects her spirit by keeping a small circle and making self-care a priority through exercise, massage, and personal boundaries. Dr. Olson connects the discussion to the idea that everyone has a horn, whether through music, kindness, teaching, healing, parenting, art, leadership, or business, and closes with a pledge and action step encouraging listeners to say yes to their voice, their dream, and their service.
