I am constantly mystified by trumpet players (especially...although flutes certainly aren't immune to the problem) who seem to need to quaver their way through everything they play. Most of them probably don't even realize they're doing it!
Nonsense Eliminator...this sounds like something you'd be qualified to comment on. |
I take offense to the violin comment
I'm a violinist and a trumpet player...
but about the vibrato, If you have a slow solo, ur definitely gonna need to use it, but if you are playing with a bunch of other trumpets, unless the music says to, ur not gonna want to use it, because it'll sound weird with the other trumpets that will most likely NOT be using it.
