I sucked when I first played the horn in 7th grade, but I was tenacious. What really helped was the summer when I joined a top level DCI Corps. When I came back as an eight grader I had great endurance and a solid high C with the ability to "creep" up to double G.From that point on I was leading.Playing a lot with good technique will build so much confidence all the while listening to all the greats.Daily inspiration!
