Today I asked my music teacher if I could borrow the euphonium from school. He said yes. So i took it home and after about an hour I got it all cleaned up and managed to get the valves working. After about an hour of playing I knew all the valves combinations and the notes. I can now play pieces without the need to think of what valves it is, my fingers just go down. I then got out some of my grade 5 trombone pieces and easily played them through. I just looked at the grade 5 euph syllabus and 2 of the pieces I did for my grade 5 trombone and can play on euph are on there and there is another piece on there that I can play. So grade 0 - 5 in about 2 hours Ok, so playing the trombone gave me a big headstart

Or maybe you are a natural genius at playing the Ehph? One characteristic shared by all genius players is that they found the instrument really easy to master. Perhaps we have the privilege of witnessing the birth of a virtuoso career that will propel this formerly rather pathetic instrument to the forefront of musical attention. Go, Ben. Grade 0-5 tonight. That leaves 5 for tomorrow, 7 for Saturday and 8 for Sunday. LRSM by next weekend. FRSM by end-April. Head of Brass at RAM by the start of June. Remember me in the future; I mapped out your future career.

I do hope you've posted this on TOP too!! (Just to make all the struggling euphonists feel really inadequate!)
