HE HUGGED HER LEG
I love children experiencing music and things for the first time and just being SO happy that they do what makes sense to them, such as this little one hugging her leg, like they’re so sweet and pure and expressive and my heart is full!

hey you guys are smart what are some good ways to help me play more relaxed
Take a deep breath before you play
Make sure your posture is correct. Relaxed posture = relaxed playing.
Don’t have tenseness, especially in your embouchure. It’s best to have your lips set and let the note come out naturally
Don’t press further and further against the mouthpiece as you play
@littletrumpetcat help me out frien
Thank you! I think I do a lot of things without realizing it that makes me play with more tension, so this definitely gives me stuff to think about ..read more

•you don’t need an “official” title to be important to your band
•you don’t need to be section leader to be important to your band
• you don’t need to play first part to be important to your ensemble
•how long you have been playing isn’t a reflection of who you are
•even if you aren’t an official leader, you still deserve respect from others-even if they think they’re a better player than you
•musical ability means nothing with a bad attitude
•it’s okay if you don’t make it into “that big thing” you auditioned for
