I never gave much thought as to cornet vs trumpet -- I just want them to have a horn that works! |
Bingo
A perfect answer
I started on trumpet (because we managed to get a very cheap one), then got a cornet (because we got a cheap second hand one, that was better than my trumpet), then moved back to the trumpet later on. I now play both (differently - the trumpet is a trumpet, the cornet is a cornet - welcome to the brass band style
).
When students start, it matters not what the start on - some find a trumpet easier to hold, others find the cornet easier. Whatever they can get, we will use. Later on we can work on the precise differences of sound and syle.
