It's not even the dumbest thing I've seen in my neighborhood.

They were heading toward Hefner. I hope they didn't go on the main road with him on top of the car.

How do I know when I've warmed up enough and should stop?

It seems like every time I practice I use all of my stamina on my warm up, and then I struggle with the actual songs I'm practicing.

Having trouble with notes above the staff.

For some reason I seem to have pretty good range when I'm playing scales or doing an exercise, but I'm having a lot of trouble playing above the staff when I'm playing actual songs. Could it just be a mental thing, or is there maybe an exercise that can help me out?

Sticky valves

So I cleaned my trumpet last night but the valves are kind of sticky. When I'm playing a song that has some faster parts, my valves will start pop up just barely too slow. I used al cass fast valve oil after I cleaned the instrument. Should I have a repair guy take a look at it?

Cornet problems

Hi, for some reason I can play on my trumpet just fine, but when I switch to cornet for other songs I sound absolutely terrible. I can't get notes above an in-staff c without struggling and my tone is suffering. Is there maybe something wrong with the instrument itself or do I just suck?
