I have been playing the horn for almost five years now. I also like to play the trumpet. I am planning on playing trumpet for marching band, and in the jazz band for my high school. But, I wish to continue playing horn for concert season. Any advice on how I should practice, how it will affect my embouchre, or any other tips?
Horn------%26gt;Trumpet?
Practice is a time put aside to work, work, work with dedication and commitment to becoming a better player.
Don't practice long but practice often. Every time you have 20 minutes of your own, reach for the horn. It's amazing how much can be accomplished in that time especially if you are close to having a passage work out for you. It may well be the best 20 minutes you ever spent.
Spend little time reviewing all the things you can play and practice the things you can't play.
Reply:I play two different instruments as well. When an instrument is in great use...practice it more (like during marching band when learning a show). Then when the season ends, focus on the horn.
Good luck!
Reply:with the great counter melody parts in marching arrangements,.......heck i would march mellophone and just play trumpet in jazz band!
btw listen to the Robb McConnel big band if you want to hear horns used in jazz big bands.
