- When he was 11, he was taught to play by ear the Dago Tony's honky tonk by the Cornetist Bunk Johnson who was also an African American that played Jazz. He was good at playing the cornet and the trumpet and was also really good at scat singing. It gave him something to live for.
- Armstrong developed his cornet skills by playing in a band. “ Peter Davis, who frequently appeared at the home at the request of Captain Jones, became Armstrong's first teacher and chose him as the bandleader. ” With the band, thirteen-year-old Armstrong managed to attract Kid Ory.
