Oh, no! I'm much too late for this!! Is this bad etiquette...?
I played the trumpet throughout my school career! When I was a kid, I KNEW I was gonna play the trumpet, so when the time came to choose my instrument and the nice man suggested a nice flute for the nice girl, I think my expression was very wry. "Can you believe this guy?" said my face to my mother.
I still love them very much and when I hear
this song I dream of achieving those beautiful silvery tones~! But, alas: my embouchure... she is a mess.
I also learned to play the French horn one year when the band director called me into the storage room and said, "I was standing in the pasta aisle at Kroger and I thought, 'You know what
should do? Play the French horn.'" And then he handed me one and sent me back to my seat. It was sudden and random, but it went well. I sometimes wonder if I should try to acquire one somehow - they have such a mellifluous sound.
