hi (another topic)

just wondering why i picked up the trumpet, and thought i'd ask you lot if you naturally bonded with the instrument? and why you chose the instrument?

jaime

nothing to do with trumpets but well done jaime on keeping this forum going!! what they do without you!! oh and of course well done on keeping david out of bed!

Nat

I have a comment which is begging to follow on from that.

Not that i'm going to write it.

I think most people end up playing an instrument that either was missing from their school orchestra, or a family friend wanted them to play!

I got given a flugel horn when I was about 7 and told to blow a raspberry. I can still remember my astonishment when a noise that was almost a note came out!!

hello

thanx nat!! i like to have alot to talk about. glad you think that what im doin is good! have you got any ideas for a topic?

i cant say that im proud of keeping david out of bed we dont want to starrt stories now do we??

do you play brass? i dont think you've ever metionied it?

jaime

no jaime i dont play any brass, but id like to have a go one day!!

no def dont want to start stories!!lol

so what do you play

Nat

I wanted to play the horn ever since I was four and I went to a youth orchestra concert that all my cousins were playing in (they all played violin) and I looked round the orchestra and saw the horns. And they were so shiny and looked so complicated compared to the other instruments, and I thought they were so beautiful! I wasn't allowed one until I was 11 though- apparently it can damage your teeth when they're still developing. It's so unfair!! Oh well, at least I have it now!

hello nat!

i play trumpet!! YEY!! i started playing when i was about 6, and i've been playin about 10 years now, (5 years seriously) and i've loved every minute of it, the trumpet is a fun instrument. (that last sentance was pretty sad) i also like beer so.... it was a brass instrument for me!! lol

you could always learn a brass instrument if you wanted.

jaime

Hey jaime!!

Nat

what instrument do you play??

jaime

i play piano, flute, sax, violin, guitar and CLARINET WAHOOO!!!

great stuff!!!

so you've seen my topic on the viva clarinet thing??? no offence intended!!

jaime

yes i have i was not amused!!lol

only joking!! i love the clarinet sooooo much!

Nat

I chose trombone because I wanted to be awkward and I wasn't allowed to play sax. I was too small for sax so they asked if I wanted to play clarinet but I didn't want to be like everyone else. So I decided to ask for trombone, the school didn't have a brass teacher at the time so they had to get one in. About 6 people started off, 2 on trombone, 2 trumpet, 1 cornet, and 1 baritone. I am the only one that has actually carried on with my instrument and music in general. Shame really...

I took up trumpet to get out of PE lessons !! then found out i liked the trumpet and have been playing for over 17 yrs now
