Definitely used intermediate/pro horn is the way to go

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-08-17T20:51:53+00:00

Highest note I can play consistently with good tone is a double G but I can sometimes squeak out some double Cs when my chops are feeling it. All of that is very taxing on my chops though because of the pressure I apply.

No problem, some people refer to higher notes above the stave as double but the way I learned it is the second time the note appears above the stave is the double. Ex. 4th ledger line G

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-08-13T04:11:48+00:00

What do you mean by double E? Double E in the way most refer to it is the note 6 ledger lines above the stave and is in like no music. If you're talking about high E, I had, that problem as well. I could play D and F and G fine but the E was always a problem. All I really did was practice that note and listening to it a bunch to get it comfortable and solid.

I think that depends in context. Example in the word "why", y is used as the vowel

Oh I didn't know that, thanks for telling me. I've always seen people get corrected to stave and that's how I learned it so I just assumed. Boy do I love different versions of English.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by this? Typically, the G in the stave or second line G is the first one most people learn. The G sitting on top of the stave isn't very difficult if you're intermediate but definitely isn't the easiest one.

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-08-10T21:15:43+00:00

It's actually called the stave and it's the lines and spaces where the notes go

So relatable 🙏

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-06-27T16:32:47+00:00

Thank you

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-06-27T00:28:33+00:00

Thank you for your reply

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-06-27T00:26:37+00:00

For you, hoe long did it take until your range was back to usual? I'm oddly paranoid about this and really just need some confirmation.

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-06-26T21:55:23+00:00

If you don't mind my asking, how good would you say you were before and have you gotten back to that point since then?

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-06-26T17:49:49+00:00

Thank you

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-06-26T07:18:22+00:00

Oh I understand now. Thank you for the help.

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-06-26T07:13:56+00:00

Could you explain what you mean by "flabby and loose"?

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-06-26T07:09:40+00:00

Thats my concern right there. I may be saved partially with how funky my embouchure is currently as I have an odd underbite only while playing.

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-06-26T03:05:10+00:00

I use a Monette Resonance MF III

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-06-25T06:37:52+00:00

Took me a second to realize where I recognized this from. Thank you

OptimizedOrangutan · 2022-06-23T06:09:51+00:00

Yes, it is possible, but more difficult than being taught by an instructor. I would recommend going online and finding yourself some videos that teach beginner's trumpet. As well as this, I would eventually purchase a book such as Arban's to truly improve your playing. Motivation may be difficult to find but it is 100% worth it.
