Hi, Surely if a trombonist has to be taught an acronym for assembly of said trombone, there is little point in him carrying on if he can't even put it together. (Are these slide-guys the Viola Dept. of the brass world?)
Port is Left as it has the same number of letters as 'Left'. Port is Red as in the fortified wine. The most common sense I ever learnt for stave markings and Sharps/Flats are as follows - common sense because you have to learn only one poem for each - the reverse uses the same/similar wording and sense. The 'new way' of things like "Every Green Bus Drives Fast" has no alternative for the bass clef - why do 'they ' have to change things from something that works? Treble Clef.. Every Good Boy Deserves Favour Bass Clef.. Good Boys Deserve Favour Always Sharps.. Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle Flats.. Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles' Father Easy! -Paul Fox Sheffield UK _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
