@Dr-GO "...but now, your heart is learning syncopated rhythms!"

"I've got rhythm, (stomp stomp), I've got rhythm, (stomp stomp), I've got rhythm, (stomp stomp), who could ask for anything more?"

Once a month they would fire up the Feuriger Elias, and stop at our village in Germany.

@Kehaulani My nephew used to drive Maybach's from point A to point B as a summer job.

They weren't allowed to go through the McDonald's drive-through.

@Kehaulani Near Stuttgart. Roughly 1990 - early 2000s.

@Kehaulani I worked in Germany some with a Japanese trumpeter who studied in Vienna and later the Spaulding method. He had wonderful technique and a consistent "double-high D" (concert) but had a sound like a laser beam, even on his Ganter.

He didn't work a lot.

Charles Peters' “Total Range” is progressive, uses many of the same exercises (without the chin-tuck thing) as in 37 weeks, is to be used daily, AND as an adjunct to other playing.

Worked for me and my students.

@Kehaulani "C4" is two syllables long. "Middle C" (which might mean "low C") has three. "C below the staff" has five.

I'd be happy with "C4."

@Dr-GO, in contemporary German brass-lingo we called a double high C a "C5," (B4 concert pitch) and the pedal C a "C1."

International Standards (ISO) name the C below the treble staff and above the bass as "middle C." (That makes sense because it is in the middle between the two staves.) Middle C is C4. Pedal C is C3 and C in the staff a C4.

Played Bach and Handel with a couple other trumpet players on A piccolo trumpets and our first rehearsal was something by Handel, so the parts were notated in C. Took us a while to figure out that one of us was talking in sounding pitch, one in written pitch and one in A. Depending on who you asked, the same note could be a "D"," "C" or "F."

The biggest thing I learned from my first chamber music experience wasn't intonation or listening, but appropriately listening to and responding to constructive criticism and other points of view.

That is what brings us from players to musicians.

I have the feeling Dr. M was more of a trumpet player than musician.
