I must say the majority of players in the band are excellent people. I love
them all as if brother or sister. I really, honestly enjoy there company. I
had lessons to begin with but thought my teacher had taken me as far as he
could. I have no trouble reading the music. It is only practice now that can
improve my playing.  I wonder how many other players have gone from no
experience and playing 3rd cornet to repiano in 3 years especially when
starting so late in life. My trouble lies in pitching notes, especially when
sight reading due to, I believe, not developing an ear for the sound. Fast
pieces I find especially daunting.
I can sing the music but relating it to actual playing requires some
practice.
Thanks for your comments/help
Tony
