To be honest, I can’t think of a single music school in NYC where I could have walked in as a twenty-five-year-old total beginner and actually learned how to play the trumpet. Do you happen to know of any?

There used to be an adult education program over at Carnegie Hall, though I’m not entirely sure if they still offer it these days.
In my opinion, you might be much better off just hiring a local musician for some private lessons. Most formal music schools force you to sit through tedious classes on music theory, ear training, and chamber music, which isn't really what you're looking for. It would probably be more efficient to find a talented student from Juilliard who would be happy to give you some one-on-one instruction for a much more reasonable price.

Honestly, ZoneAlarm is a total headache and constantly freezes up, especially if you're still running on a modem connection. If you layer Norton on top of that, you've basically created a complete disaster. You're much better off sticking with McAfee combined with either Cisco or Symantec!
