Hello Jess, thank you for writing to me, nice to meet you too, you are kind

Hey Jess :D
I'm Matt :3

Hi Jess good to hear from you,i was trying to message you but couldn't?

Yamaha is usually the preferred brand for novices and intermediate players. More advanced players prefer Bach Stradivarius, which I'd like to get one myself. I was in a provincial honour wind ensemble in 10th grade and 12th grade, and everyone else was using Bach Stradivarius. And I think that's the professional one you're talking about
So.. you have about 6 years of experience or something? I gotta say, that's pretty much how long I've been playing it
It doesn't make sense to prioritise music unless you're planning on to becoming a professional player. I mean you should practice once in a while but never make a whole life out of it

My trumpet is a Bach and so is my old 1.5C mouthpiece, but the one I use now is Yamaha 7C. I also have a Bach 3C that I bought 4 months ago, but don't really use it. As for the mouthpiece, the brand doesn't make much of a difference, I think. It's really the size that makes whole lot of difference
I lack stamina in my upper region (high A - high D) too. A problem that I didn't really have to deal with in the past. I really blame it on orthodontics
Yes French horn is definitely harder than the Trumpet, although I started French horn before trumpet. It's mostly pitching that throws people off, but I have this horrible difficulty with low notes.

Yeah, and like I said, this time aim for high D, and then super F (a couple notes above high D). No you are not too young for that.
That is true! I don't know about the trumpet but I feel that in French Horn, where I usually like to stay in high F - high D region, but being a 2nd Horn player often requires low A or even worse, low E or something like that.
Middle E is usually a tricky note, because it's between middle C and high G. It's sometimes hard to find the right pitch. Same goes for high F actually. If you aim a little too high, you get a G sharp out of tune, and if you aim a little too low, you get a middle D.
What's the mouthpiece you're using?
I used to use 1.5C, but now that my lips die very quickly on that one, now I use the standard 7C which everyone else uses (the lead trumpeter in my jazz band uses a thinner one, apparently)
