Armed with a new trumpet, I've since discovered that my embouchure isn't as trashed as I'd worried. Happily I haven't had the personality clashes with instructors mentioned in this thread, but that's one of the advantages of autodidacticism (the disadvantages being that my teacher doesn't really know what he's doing, and furthermore has the poor taste to assign Britney Spears pieces for practice -- with the excuse that her vocal lines, being largely runs and simple intervals, are perfectly suited to someone who has yet to acquire his playing chops)
I, for one, would be interested in hearing (say) MP3s of you practising Britney Spears songs on a trumpet.
