Thank You Trumpet!

I came back from vacation on tuesday and decided that instead of playing the french horn, I would play the trumpet for the first time on trumpet. My range and tone quality before braces wasn't as good as the were on the french horn, so I thought, "hey, I'll do longtones for my range and tone quality at the same time. Might as well get a better tone quality now than have to fix it later." At the beginning of the practice session, I couldn't get the C on the staff. At the end, I got up to the Gright above the fifth line. Sadly, I couldn't get the C above the staff like I could before braces, but I'll get there! Back to french horn. On wednesday, I picked up the horn and tried the same thing, and by the end of the session, I sounded a little bit better than I did without braces. Of coarse, I'll still have to memorise the new emboucheure position, but I'm really close! I played the portion of my solo I'd been practicing with almost no mistakes! The soft notes were in tune, the high notes except for the high G and above were open and strong. There were still a few bad attacks, but loads less than before!
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I officially love long tones!
