Crazy variation

Ok, I know that I haven't written in a while, but I couldn't find anything interesting to write about. So now, I have decided to write about my experimentation with different instruments. My brother got a clarinet a while back, so I've been playing that a little bit. It was dumb because I'm used to playing the flute and so it took me a long time to figure out how to position my mouth correctly so that I actually made a sound. (That is, other than the sound of a strangled goose) Then, my sister comes along and tries playing it and it only takes her like 3 seconds to get a great sound.





Also, last year in our band class we had 5 French Horn players. Five of them! But this year one of them quit and I think the rest graduated and the one sophmore that plays is kinda crappy. So guess what! I've been trying to play the french horn! I've only played it like 3 times as of yet but I think it would be really neat to play. Its crazy to feel the different muscles working around my face and I've never played a brass instrument before, so its really weird to have to buzz my lips to make a sound. When I'm done practicing, it always feel like my lips are flat.

Oh, and here's a really cool video that I thought was pretty funny.
