mothwingA few weeks ago, after a semester-long break, I finally pulled myself together and started playing the trumpet regularly, and it's going rather well. Crocky said today that I might be ready to join her ensemble in August (well, technically, she said that if I put my mind to it, I might join them in June, but retracted upon seeing my panic-stricken expression and said August would do nicely, too).
The suggestion of joining the ranks of her brass ensemble is probably supposed to strengthen my resolve and give me more motivation (and make our practice sessions happen more frequently than every couple of months), but I don't see that happening so far.
I am not too sure. Our sessions have been very sporadic so far, and even though I can do some basics I don't feel certain enough to do anything serious. Maybe she was just trying to motivate me, or her pressing need for a trumpet makes her desperate (the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that it's the latter), but I can't see myself playing at that level yet.
Something that made me really happy was to find just how much easier it will be to play the hunting horn - the technique is the same. Can't wait to surprise my mother (it's her instrument) with my progress. Too bad it's too late for her birthday, but I doubt that my mother would be touched by a wobbly rendition of the soprano part in "dead fox" or something, anyway.
