Thanks John, for your good wishes.
I don't play the trombone that much right now, with the recital in view. But as soon as that is done, I'll have more lessons to get more used to the positions. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are sort of OK, the others are difficult and high g on 2- doesn't speak well.
The recital is the yearly student recital of my teacher's trumpet and euph students, in a small concert hall which has 200-300 seats. So the audience will be co-students, parents and grand-parents, or in case of the adult students partners and kids. Maybe 50-70. I used to suffer from stage fright with my guitar, but I am fairly optimistic about this recital.
Liuto
P.S. As you will haved noticed, the euphonium is almost unheard of in Germany, or it was. We traditionally use the baritone horn, with a much narrower bore. It can sing, but is not nearly as mellow as the euph. This has changed a bit in the past decade. My teacher has three euphonium students, no baritone horn.
