change the
definition of the term "pedal tone." Let's
Hi Alan and Everyone,
Alan's story goes right along with what I had to do for Christmas eve this
year. I was hired to do a kind of a "Transiberian Orchestra" kind of church
service. A rock band, string quartet and me playing on one side of a
gymnasium (the church is new and does not have a buil

insidiously
with wanton prevarication?
Nah, I reckon not.
The trumpet "pedal tones" referred to are not supported by the trumpe

No problem, the students also did solfege, thus understood the functions,

Hello horn gang - As you might remember from my last posting I am

version of Graziani's Haydn Variations. At this writing we have not

stacks. This being said,
Can someone there give me some suggestion ?
I am to have a horn audition for entrance of 3rd year music school.
The required piece is
