Canadian Brass Workshop and Concert

Just came back from a workshop by Canadian Brass. They're really good. I went with my classmate and his girlfriend. He kept saying that it's just the difference in equipment between them and us. I told him not to dream, considering we are practising so little.

Actually, the local students playing in the workshop were very good as well. One of them, I guess probably 7 or 8 year old, played a french horn. The horn was almost as big as his body. It's just amazing. I almost wanted to dig a hole to hide myself. But considering an late beginner, I am still happy with myself. HA!

After the workshop, they had an hour concert. Those 5 pieces of brass equipments really played some beautiful notes. I chose to learn trumpet because I think violin is just like singing from a lady, while trumpet is like that from a man. It can be loud like roaring and soft like weeping. Those 2 trumpet players played really really well. Seeing the fingers dancing on the valves, listening to the high and low pitches, it is just lovely. And best of all, it's free! It's an event sponsored by Yamaha. Nice!
