trumpet....isshh.memories came flooding back to me...
was in a brass band in form 1-2...trumpeter here...i think i can still remember how to play the indiana jones theme...playing the trumpet and marching under the hot sun isn't very nice.but i learned to read notes while playing(unlike guitar tabs which are dead easy)

1 piece of advice...DON'T SMOKE.buy a cheap plastic mouthpiece to practice with.if ure learning to play the trumpet, dont play it at home,unless ure room is extremely soundproofed.

u play the sax?very nice indeed....soprano,alto or tenor?

originally i wanted to play the sax, but i find it difficult to blow through the reed...so i took up the trumpet instead...

guess its personal preference...always wanted to play like kenny g (this was when i was 13-14) but somehow i find it difficult to play any reed instrument...i tired the sax,clarinet,flute,piccolo and snare...then when i came to brass instruments, my mentor told me that i could blow through the mouthpiece like a champion...both trumpet and trombone...then i decided to play the trumpet as its a much smaller instrument then the trombone...and sounds much much nicer

btw, i havent touched the trumpet in over 10+ years.lung capacity not as good as it used to be...

agreed.when younger i had better control...after form 5 i quit the whole brass band thingy to concentrate on my spm...so havent touched a trumpet in a long long time...nowdays just play my acoustic, at least hand tired not so bad compared to being out of breath
