Trumpet

[Mr1337Duck]

I play the alto sax, myself, I'm the only freshmen in our section and I'm 5th outta 9, I beat out 2 sophomores and 2 juniors for my position, and I will say that the sax is the easiest thing in the world to play well. I mean seriously, you'd have to be f***ing retard, or maybe have your jaw ripped off of your skull in order to be incapable of playing that, and I'm willing to bet a fair amount of mentally disableds could probably still play it decently.

You just stick your mouth to the mouthpiece and blow, it's easy as blowin' on a fricken' whistle. Unlike trumpets and the other instruments that have that kind of mouthpiece that I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how to play. Of course, I could never figure out how to whistle, myself, so that's probably just the shape of my mouth or how my brain functions, or something like that. I dunno.


P.S: Good to see you again, everyone. Sorry I've been gone so much, but I just had been neglecting my friends here. But I'm back until further notice now.

PUtting your tounge in different possitions help too. With that i could get up to an A sharp and thats about it .


My teacher (who was actually really good state wide i think) Mentioned about the shape of your mouth like how your teeth look and what not. Maybe your mouth is not built for the trumpet or brass in general.

I played for a year and ahalf, i gave up after i learned in 7th grade that i couldn't play an instrument and do football at the same time, so i said fuck it. Anyways i was a slacker at it and no one wanted to do it anymore. Great instrument though, that, sax, and the clarenet (sp), get some good jazz with it.
