Musical Opportunities

In my last post I talked about how to change your tone quality from a darker tone to a brighter tone. Today in my post I'm going to talk about not being modest. Of course there is a time and place for modesty, I myself am very modest, but don't let modesty get in the way of what you want to do. For example if there is a band that you have the opportunity to tryout for, don't tell yourself that your not good enough for the band, because you are your biggest critic. Get input from other people before you give up on an opportunity. This applies to all activities, whether it's in debate, football or anything don't let yourself tear down your self-confidence to the point where you give up opportunities. Also in this blogpost I'd like to talk about choosing your trombone. I found a very useful source, Douglas Yeo for this topic and I'd like to talk on it. The author Douglas Yeo talked about selecting your instrument and I agree with his points fully. The questions you have to a ask as a person buying or renting an instrument are what are: What are you using the horn for? How much money do you have to spend? Are you a new player or a professional?  These are some of the most important questions when buying a renting an instrument. For example for the last question, you don't want a boutique trombone that Andy Martin used in Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, because that is a very hard instrument to learn how to play on. It's best to learn on a student-line trombone, because it is specifically made for kids to or even just learners to be able to produce a sound.
