NO your not going to fail!!! its better than trying to practice with your burnt lip and making it even worse - its better to let it heal properly so your all fresh and ready to go for your performance!!!! try not to worry about it too much!!! heheh samo, im doing comp elective so im only playing 4 pieces!! YEAH GO US!!! hehe

im so stressed about my compositions!!!

being the loser that i am, i forgot to print them out on friday, and i have a copy of one of them at home and i was all like"ill just use that" but i realised its in the wrong key, like its an old one where i was just writing with accidentals in stead of key signatures, but then i transposed the trumpet parts so theyre in D major and not A minor... oh god.. disaster...

which one did you get?? ive got book 3, but ive played a lot from book 1 as well.

i totally agree - id die without vizzuti, like i totally would

this is prolly a stupid question, but do you guys reckon you could play with a tongue piercing?

Everybody chill!! Tim, i dont agree wif you on dat one - the trumpet isnt a hard instrument to play i reckon the oboe is harder. The trumpet only has 3 valves while the oboe has a million little keys and holes. Why? because us trumpet players cant count to four! This 'trumpeters unite' thread is for us little dumb trumpet players if you wana join us then your welcome to. Although i made a thread especially for oboe players called 'oboers unite' - and ujuphleg, see you know im dumb i called you an 'oboer', not an oboist.
thank you!! the oboe is hard to play but the trumpet can be really hard too -- as with all things, it is especially hard to play anything WELL. anybody can play, but not many can play really good.

i will leave your very amusing but constructive thread now. timyates, i'm sorry you are so hostile about oboe players. its a pity really.

oh and btw, i'm a girl, not a guy.

yah arutunians cool except im getting a little sick of it cos ive been playing that since i was in year 8... oh and the lovelock is really hard!!! mind you the trumpet part is in C so your actully in D major if you play on a Bb trumpet. Which means it goes up to a high F and not an Eb! Oh gotta love the cadenza in the 3rd movement!!!
