I am an obost. xD I am teaching myself how to play the trumpet for marching band.
I have to learn to play in two months.
I am practicing all the time, and I'm positive that I will be able to play the trumpet well enough to be in the band within 2 months. Hey, I learned the oboe well in two months, and now that I know how to read notes, I know it shouldn't be as hard.
But it is deffinitely hard teaching yself to play, especially when I am used to woodwind instruments. My main problems are:
+I am having trouble knowing exactly which note I'm playing, or if I am playing it reletively in tune or if I'm WAY OFF.
+I believe that the tuning for a Bb trumpet it two chromatic steps down from the concert C pitch, am I right? So, an F on the trumpet would be an Eb on the tuner, and so on?
+Do I have to have the tuner set to 440 hertz, or it that wrong?
