It's all in the practice. I'm a comeback player after

some 30+ years and after three + months I'm hitting an F and I'm on my way to that high C. Man I never thought it was possible but I can now see that high C in the distance.

To all those who are having problems, I say get a good teacher and practice practice practice!!!!!!!!!!!

The reward is amazing.

Also, practicing long notes has really made a difference for me.

Vessehune, thanks for the correction, double F, sorry. That's still pretty good for me.

Top-line F is "F". The next one up is F above high-C. The next one past that is "double F".

High-C is two lines above the stave. "Dubba C" is an octave above that.

Whatever, you're making great progress. Keep it up.

Ciao,

Dave

Thanks guys, I guess it's just plain old F, but that's ok high-C is still not too far off.

If F below High-C is just F, is the F below that called Middle-F, then Low-F below that?

After only three monts back on the horn, F is quite an acomplishment. Well done. I must say, I'm even more impressed with your equipment. Love my Benges, mines a '79 LA.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks Clarino, I'm a business person by trade who happens to work at a music school, so the equipment does come my way from time-to-time; I have also just been very lucky.

The lessons are also dirt cheap and come from some excellent teachers; but practice practice and more practice is really the only way!!!

My horn is almost always the first thing I grab when I get home, she always calls out to me saying "I've been waiting for you all day, hold me and play me loud". lol

My girlfriend is so jealous.
