He has been telling me to switch mouthpieces for a while now. I haven't gotten around to doing so. He also gave me tips for playing higher without choking the notes. They have worked, as I have already played the piece three other days in band class since then. I trust my teacher and his ju

Dear Hornlisters, Oh, how I wish our Principal and her assisstant would agree to switch parts, but they guard them with such ferocity, the rest of us in the section fear for our fingers. We all get together on various occasions and switch around ensemble parts, but when we are in a band rehears

Intellectually one might agree with Jonell's argument concerning swapping parts in a band setting. If a lot of changing around is scheduled in a crowded stage then it could potentially be disastrous with dumped stands, damaged horns etc. However, if the changing of parts is kept to a reasonable
