So I started learning baritone horn about a month ago and right now I can (more or less clearly) play from a low G to a high B flat. I have a few questions if anyone can help me out/give their opinion (I have a teacher but she’s very condescending so)? Thanks!
(just as a side note, I have 8 years of strings experience but I’m new to brass)
1. I’m joining a pretty decent high school marching band in August, what’s expected of my skill level? Range/dynamics/speed etc.
2. On that note, how the hell do brass dynamics work? I’ve figured out loud and louder but anything under mf just goes pfffffff
3. Also on that note, as a beginner should I focus on expanding my range/skill or fine tuning what I’ve already figured out?
4. Do the higher notes really require so much more force than the lower ones or am I just doing it wrong?
