REDO...
Imagine, if you can, the first day you started playing the trumpet....
(the trumpet only)
What I'm really looking for is something like..
if I were starting over, I would not learn anything, (ie. songs) until I knew ALL my scales, major and minor in two octaves.
or is that too hard?
I guess if I were 10 I would not be very interested in any instrument if that were the case.

Before I learned the trumpet, I would have learned solfegge for a year. |

I would have definitely learned piano first. Also, when I first started on trumpet, I would have loved to have a teacher that knew trumpet and how to get a good embouchure formed from the beginning. It would have also been nice to have started without any feeling that higher notes were harder to play!

Yeah Matt and Dave you are both SO RIGHT! I wish I would have learned Piano first and then I wish I would have had PROPER private instruction very early on. You know, not just the teacher in grammar school who really wasn't that interested. For that matter, in H.S. we seemed to play so much of the same reportoire every year. I REALLY had to work hard on sightreading AFTER high school! |

I would have listened to my band directors a bit more.
After hearing Maynard, I wouldn't have started immedidately trying to wail.
I would have worked my scales harder. (still working on that one 20 years later!)
I would have played more long tones.
In HS I would have learned how to read chord changes for soloing.
I would have worked on a better embouchure from the beginning. (see above, listening to the band director).
Working more on the fundamentals would have taken me further faster, but I never have been patient and didn't know at the time that some of the bad habits that I later developed were in the end going to hinder further progress. _________________ Patrick Gleason
