Oh my.
Between 6th and 7th grade, the band director asked me what I wanted to play. I said drums. He laughed and "my" choice was flute, flute or flute. Not even alto sax. Flute, flute or...

Extremely helpful as well for competition performance with a very different instrument! Thanks for posting this.
So sorry this happened to you, but taking mental notes so hopefully I avoid this issue with my zipper case. Thanks for the warning. It's an easy mistake if you've always had cases that latch shut...

Since there's not exactly an abundance of opportunities in my rural community to hear and watch Euphoniums live in concert, I was pleased to discover the...
Oh, happy, happy, joy, joy -- this forum (and you) are a tremendous resource! Thanks so much.
Yet another beginner question -- when I asked about Arbans for the Euphonium in treble clef, the answer I received at the music store was "order the copy for the trumpet and the fingering will be the...
Thanks for your suggestion, I appreciate it.
Thanks for the detailed background info and your kind welcome. Both are much appreciated. I really am liking the sound of the Euphonium (even the sounds I am making) and enjoy it. The dogs say it...
Didn't play trumpet, but the fingerings as follows seemed to be what I remembered from high school E-flat alto horn -- G & C were open, A & E were 1&2, F was 1, B was 2 for example. (No fourth valve...
I am just beginning on the Euphonium (4 - key) . I play other (non-brass) instruments in treble clef, so started learning with TC music.
But now I am wondering if I have made it more...
Just curious -- are there any other things you wish you had for the Euphonium that are sewn?
For example, I'm thinking about a bell cover to keep dust out since my horn stays in a stand instead...
Oh, duh! I had my Wessex Euphonium backwards in the stand, too. Thank you for describing the way it should fit, mine is now much more secure.
Right now I have a soft, thick sock over each side...
Thank you for your detailed reply, and HUGE thanks for this forum. It is incredibly helpful and encouraging to ask questions about an instrument… and wake up to answers the next morning from other...
Thanks very much -- appreciate it!
Thank you, I appreciate the suggestion and your time in replying.
Looking at my Wessex 4E mouthpiece (and I am a brand-new Euphonium player of about 11 days duration ) I'm curious about the various sizes and brands of mouthpieces suitable for beginners.
Still...
And speaking of the free Euphonium intro for the chromatic scales….. wish I had a selfie of my expression when it dawned on me why the fingerings I learned for Bflat, etc. (treble clef) were NOT...
Well, I'm thinking one of those prepaid charge cards -- worth the $10 fee for peace of mind -- for the music professor site. That missing https is one thing, but it's odd they didn't respond to my...
One other thing -- when I tried to sign up for the www.musicprofessor.com program, I noticed that I do NOT get the https "secure" prefix to the web address on the page where I am asked for credit...
Thanks for the website link. To locate an instructor, a potential student is asked to enter their zip code. I did, but got an "Oh no!" message that says I am in an area not currently covered by...
Thanks very much. I appreciate the info.
Ah, another note to put Arbans in the shopping cart… thanks! I appreciate the encouragement. My other instruments are a long, long way from the Euphonium, so it is a fun challenge for me. For...
Thank you so much for the tip on the online lessons. Will explore those while I keep trying to find "a real live instructor." My big fear is starting off with bad habits that I will then have to...
Hi Bob/tampaworth (I goofed up the quote part)
Thanks for the kind welcome to the forum. I have to laugh because (this may make sense only in Texas) my little town is too small for a Dairy...
Hi Dean, (didn't get the hang of the quote block at the first attempt)
Thanks for your suggestion, it's appreciated.
