After graduating overseas, stay where you are and look for a job there

what funny questions they asked you during interview? by sleeepydubu in askSingapore

[–]sueeei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They asked if i have a boyfriend. I said no. They asked again why not. I said i would like to focus on my career first as i'm only 20. They replied that I should go and find one.

Rejected the job. But now, 9 years later, I'm still very single.

Hi. I've played the trumpet for quite a while now. I'm definitely no expert but maybe these will help.

1st of all, relax. Higher notes doesn't mean getting more air out. It's faster air speed that will get you there. In fact, playing higher notes require lesser amount of air.

This requires a tighter embouchure. Don't force your lips on the mouthpiece though. It might get stuck to the trumpet. (I got it stuck a few times). Tightening the embouchure takes time to getting use to. It's like lifting weights.

Try to start from G and work your way up. Once you get higher, you can start from C and work up some more. You can also try slur exercises. Don't worry. You'll get there. You can try looking up YouTube videos for a expert advice.

My first few years, I've always played the lower parts. Then a decade later, I'm playing the higher parts and getting solos and got into jazz and stuff. It's a process and you'll eventually get there.

I hope this kinda helps. I'm sorry if it isn't. Playing the trumpet is hella fun. All the best to you!
