| I see one of them today, it'll be her first lesson. I teach sax to her older sister, one of my oldest students Ive had for a while, and her Dad talked to me about it, so I met the young lady after the lesson to let her try one of my horn(it was a flugel actually, that was the only brass instrument I had with me)
I told her what we're gonna do is make a farty noise with our lips first, and she did that, then I gave her the flugel, and that was the only time I have ever heard someone blow and actual real, clear note right away. The attack was normal, but it was a perfectly clear C and she held it for about 3 counts!
Ive never seen anyone play a note decently like that their first time with a trumpet, and wouldnt expect it with a flugel. Do you guys see that happen ever your first time students?
