Just Like Aunt Carole

Monday night was band call-out.  She selected 3 instruments that she was interested in.  Then a representative from Paige's Music took her to a table and "tested" her on each of them.  He assessed which one would probably be the best match for her.

She selected the trumpet (first choice going in), trombone, and flute.  Flute was first up.




She never really got the hang of how to blow through the mouthpiece.  Next was the trumpet.



She did really well holding it and got a decent sound out of it.  Next was trombone.




She did better with it.  The mouthpiece is a bit bigger and therefore easier to get a good sound out of it.  The tester thought this could be a good choice for her.

Although she didn't select it, he thought she should try the clarinet.



He thought this was a good option for her as well.  He asked her which one she liked better...which sound did she prefer and which one did she like better.  Her selection...
