Okay, here's the situation.
I'm in a small, Class D band. Next year, we will only have two baritones. We have tons of trumpets and flutes though. Eighteen or something similiar for both, I think? I play flute, oboe, and trumpet. I just picked up trumpet this year for jazz band so I know the fingerings and etc.
My band director and I were talking about the low brass section and he offered for me to learn baritone since I can already do trumpet. He told me he would teach me the pitches and everything but he wants to see if I can do it tomorrow morning. I would like to take the oppurtunity so, if I'm okay and he agrees to it, I think I might do it.
What are some tips, hints, something? I need to know more about the instrument though.
Thanks. :3
