| Trumpet/French Horn
Hey everyone, I've been playing trumpet for the last 8 years in my school band. Last year I played second trumpet in my schools top orchrestra. Now this year I've made principal trumpet in the top orchrestra, and I've been asked to play French Horn in the lower erchrestra. I've heard from many people that playing French Horn can really mess up my Trumpet playing. Does anyone have any opinions about that? I've talked it over with both of my directors and they don't think it will be a problem, that my lip has developed strong enough that it'll take more than just doubleing on Horn to really screw up my chops. But I hear from so many people that that doubleing on Horn can be one of the worst things for a trumpeter to do. Do any of you guys or gals have any opinions on this? Should I play Horn, or should I stick to Trumpet?
Thanks,
Dave
