How many high school kids can transpose in E? How many high school players can play softly with a beautiful sound? Maybe there is something wrong with their role models.
There is nothing more pathetic than a kid trying to play high notes and deluding themselves into believing those squeeks are actual notes.Playing lead trumpet is more than playing loud and high.
Bernie Glow admitted that anything above a high G was out of his range.
Bernie was one the most famous lead trumpet players of our time..........and he did not play double Cs
