| Re: tone deaf, so no trumpet career Screamingmorris-
If you can sing and have decent relative pitch, then your ears can be trained, and there is no reason to give up ship yet. Sounds like you're not really tone deaf (if you can sing a tune given a starting pitch the you're ok there). Seems to me more like your embouchre needs to learn to do what your ear is telling it to.
We are all still learning here. We are starting our days at different levels to be sure, but we are each trying to coax out of this long metal pipe the same things you are, and still trying to make it all work.
