I just have to ask:
I had an injury to both of my Buccinator muscles inside my mouth- muscles actually torn and were stitched up- no nerve damage.
This was about three years ago...
I am picking up the trumpet again, and getting my embrochure set up, etc....
You know when they say, you break a bone, it grows back stronger ? How about muscles, will I be ok ? (not a pro, but id like to get up to playing a couple hours a day). There is noticeable scare tissue in cheeks, but not blocking any air....
Any advice, thoughts, etc.... Thanks, I'm brand new here.
Cordially, Dan _________________ Dan |

Just go slowly, and remember that you cannot get into better shape by injuring yourself. _________________ Most Important Note ? - the next one !
KNOW (see) what the next note is BEFORE you have to play it.
PLAY the next note 'on time' and 'in rhythm'.
Oh ya, watch the conductor - they set what is 'on time'. |

Was this a trumpet related injury? If so, I would try and find out why it happened so that you can avoid causing it to happen again. |

No it was actually sport- freestyle wrestling, just a strange happening.. I was just hoping that it would grow back stronger... _________________ Dan |

I've always been an athletic or at least active person, and at 65 I've had many injuries over the years. I've had quite a few where I've come back without loss, and some where the loss was minimal, but I've never had one where I came back better. _________________ -Ed |
