When my (now 21-mo old) little boy was about 6 months old, he really wanted to try playing papa's trumpet. So I spun it around, showed him how I buzz my lips, and let him have a go. He tried buzzing the mouthpiece, but his little mouth was too small.... So he opened wide, pulled the mouthpiece into his toothless little face, and somehow buzzed his tiny tongue against the inside cup of the mouthpiece.
It worked!! And surprisingly well.
It goes to show, where ther's a will there's a way. Focus on healing and doing what you need to do stay on this planet so you can continue to make beautiful music. If you are forced to modify technique, hardware, or learn a stringed instrument instead, you will still make wonderful music.
Best wishes. |
