[SykoAzn26]

[gatorguy4114]

u get used to it

[WarGod547]

yes you do, when marching you are more worried about the music and your coordinates! lol

[dragonlasers123]

My friends in this video. he is at 2:07 Playing trupet!! He taught me how to march. He also marches in a drum corp.

But the primary reason why the transposition system exists is because when an alto saxophonist switches to tenor sax he/she does not have to change the fingering.

I could go into more detail to explain. But once you start playing the wind instruments it will begin to make sense.

wats the easiest brass instrument to play?

[KineticArranger]

In terms of making sound happen, the easiest instruments are the baritone and trombone....just because the embouchure requirements are so close to the human face's natural state.

In terms of gigging, better go with trumpet.

[hungarianszilard]

thankx, i would ask u more questions but i also don't wanna bug you :)

[KineticArranger]

Ask away.

[hungarianszilard]

plz click on my name and my preview video will be the questions altogether.

[KineticArranger]

man, i love the internet. it really is spectacular.

i was gonna suggest you learn piano.....but...

I would suggest you master the drums alongside whatever other instrument you choose. it would be nice to be able to move to drumline once you have the chops. in terms of intensity and demand, playing in a drumline has no parallel. plus, all you need to bring/have is your sticks and pad.

[KineticArranger]

but if you want to learn a wind instrument and make decent music happen sooner than later, avoid reed instruments. it's just hard to make a decent sound at first.

but if you are patient and don't need to sound good initially, then it does not matter what instrument you learn.

trumpet is the least expensive though. and if you figure out the trumpet or the baritone then you will have no problem playing any other brass instrument.

[hungarianszilard]

I was thinkin of playin the xylophones (marching) i mean its the same as the piano but with sticks

[hungarianszilard]

by the way who are u? r u a band teacher or something?

[KineticArranger]

Na....just an arranger. I might go into educating one day. But for now I am not willing to take on all that responsibility.

[hungarianszilard]

wats an arranger?

[KineticArranger]

This trumpet recording (the Olympics Medley)....I transcribed the music from the CDs and wrote it out on a score for the UGA trumpet section to play. Usually I do this for entire marching bands.

Arrangers take someone else's music and write it for a specific ensemble (like taking a rock band song and writing it for a marching band). Most arrangers are also composers.

[hungarianszilard]

holy shit dude, i have so much sympathy 4 u. My piano teacher always tried to teach me how to transpose keys but damn icould never learn that. . .ok, umm my friend plays the clarinet, how come a c on that is a b flat on the piano (i dont get it)

[KineticArranger]

Actually, I think the whole instrument/transposing thing is ridiculous. I think it remains in place because music academia is not willing to change.

The whole system would be better if a C concert meant "C" on every instrument.

[hungarianszilard]

ya thats true

[keyworthblue]

Trumpetchicks rule!  :)

[keyworthblue]

Trumpetchicks are awesome! :)
