So far, so good, though it goes slowly.

I'm currently playing on a Bach 7C mouthpiece, though I plan to get a consulation from a GR mouthpieces rep here and then get what they recommend. Then it's exercises and more exercises!

If I can get to where I can play the exercises decently, then I'll see about playing in public somewhere with a band.

Welcome Tom,

A couple of years ago I did the same thing...

get in a community band right after you get your fundementals back. This did wonders for my sightreading, balance, musicianship and helped to accelerate my return.

You've found a great resource; don't be afraid to use it.

John
