Oh joy, oh bliss! Son #3 has been waiting for this for a long time. Although he loves his recorder (which he got to play all last year in the third grade) he really really wanted to be in the band. His instrument request list was 1) saxophone 2) trumpet 3) trombone. The band teacher tried all the kids out on different mouthpieces, and our little darling was sent home with the trombone.
He hasn't done much with it except practice Hot Cross Buns (if you honestly could discern any of those notes) and blow randomly to hear what happens when you use the slide. What he loves to do most of all, it seems, is to put the instrument together and take it apart again. Anyhow, he has lessons on Fridays, so we'll see whether he sounds any better next weekend.
Take a gander at the boy and his trombone, which is just about as big as he is. Watching him carry the instrument case is a real hoot too.
