You are awesome, Jseal. Just sayin'.

And Lil, when I was a wee lass in the orchestra, playing my violin, I had a crush on Tim, the only male flautist in the orchestra. Of course it was 7th grade, so my feminine protowiles were nothing to speak of (still aren't; I still don't flirt well with strangers), so he never knew, but I didn't think he was a sissy.

He's feeling successful with the flute and that is most of the battle with him. As for the ladies well, I'm ok for him not to become a Pied Piper.

Good on him. I can relate...when I finally started to master a little bit of the various musical instruments I tried to learn, it was a life-changing event for me, mostly in my self-image. As for what this will do for him & the ladies, he'll be learning lip control that should come in handy some day...but if he'd taken up the trumpet instead, he'd have a nice little lip callous that might even be handier ;)

And the licorice stick and sax develop excellent tongue control :tongue:

Ha ha ha . Jokes on me. His teacher just asked if he could try the French Horn. She needs one so bad she is giving him private lessons for free.

French horn? Is that the one you slide your fingers in the bottom and your lips against the hole? :confused:
















He'll LOVE it! :D

Did you ask her if she was going to give him a french horn to for free.

She gave him a school one to use until he decides if he loves it enough to switch.

our PTA recently got a music store to donate some of their old instuments to the school. perhaps one near you could donate a set that had a french horn in it.:D

The one he is using looks like it was run over by a semi :p

At least if it dosen't sound good when he plays it he has something to blame.

:roflmao:

Wow, now that's an odd switch...music teachers almost never ask anybody to move from the woodwinds to the brass section, or vice versa...normally it's sax, flutes, or clarinets move up to oboe or english horn (an ill wind that nobody blows good lol), trumpets & 'bones move to the F-horn, tuba, or Sousaphone...this should be interesting...

It was... alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll weekend long.

What're the odds of it going back with more tire tracks on it? :p
