Hello Lawrence, your message is one of the true answers. What is so difficult in the US school bands, to keep these youngsters NOT playing so loud & not blaring all the time ? Does it mirror the society, with the blared commands & the marching noise (it is not music, even the band masters think they command a music band) like in the caserne compound ? And the Mozart ? Isn´t it like raping Mozart most of the time, even these people seem to enjoy "the Mozart noise" they make (mostly) ?
But nevertheless, we here in Europe have plenty of young professionals who not even know the story of "Carmen" nor being interested to know it. If one likes to make real music, no matter what level, he or she must respect the music as a very complex acoustical-physical-mental sensation. If one factor is left out, forget it. It becomes just noise. This is for all levels, amateurs, youngsters, professionals. ============================================================ ============================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 9:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Re: Transposing In a message dated 27/02/2006 07:31:53 GMT Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: think there is a point where the horn player has to start thinking about learning transposition,but that usually doesn't come until right before college I disagree completely. My 10year old pupils can all transpose at least horn in Eb at sight and can have a good go at Cand Bb as well. They'll attempt any other transposition put in front of them. They don't find it difficult, they just do it as a matter of course- it's as natural to them as putting in the mouthpiece. The earlier you start, the better. Left until college age, yes, then it might be difficult to start.
