My cornet arrived today! I've been messing around with it for an hour or so. I can play the first 5 notes of the C major scale so far. It's pretty difficult for me to hit the notes consistently, though; hopefully that will change with more practice.
Playing a brass instrument is very strange to me, since I'm so used to playing the clarinet. I will have to get used to using my lips to change pitch, rather than just my fingers. My lips also start to go numb after a minute or so of playing. I do like the instrument, though. It has a nice sound to it, and I like not having to soak anything in my mouth before I play.
I hope to get good enough to start playing actual songs soon. I'll post updates as I improve. Also, I'll be doing some music recommendations soon, so if you're looking to expand your musical horizons (or just love the kind of music I do), be sure to check back; I'll be sure to post some good stuff!
