| Re: piccolo playing
Hello HoosierDaddy,
I probably should play piccolo more than I do to be honest. I usually will start working on it a few weeks before I have to use it. The next time I'm using it here is in May in a performance of an Albinoni Oboe concerto and I will most likely start with the piccolo in mid April.
I do know that a lot of players use it all the time. Chris Martin in Chicago is someone who has said it's a part of his routine.
As with most things on the trumpet you should find what works best for you. My suggestion is to try it for a while every day and see where that leads your playing. If it's direction you don't like you'll know soon and you can easily stop.
I hope that is helpful.
Best,
Andrew |
