Yes, but they burn even less in-tune than the oboes!

No, Rick, you're not an idiot; you're just gullible.

man..i went to ponchos when i was in 3rd grade..worst food ever..ugh. different strokes for different folks i guess...

I GUESS

anyways, etudes are great i think, they all aren't slow either..one song for reigon #3 (#45 in the vlazdevitch) can be taken to 205..

certainly there are some easy etudes out there, but some of those things can be pretty tough.

It needs to be emphasized the you are the paying customer. Your teacher should be customer oriented enough to deliver the goods you want rather than indulging his/her own authoritarian desires and living in some outmoded past. What? Does your teacher come in carrying a riding crop and wearing a uniform complete with epaulets and medals? Go to your next lesson with your horn full of bubble bath and laugh out loud.

I'd like to meet your teacher. He sounds like a real winner.

If I played a Yorkbrunner I could be just like my hero...tubaboy2005. And no, I don't like marching band, the sousaphone hurts my shoulder. Maybe I should switch to piccolo.

Damn, I wish I was that good, but I'm not so I play etudes, scales, and all that boring crap just to be a half-way decent tuba player. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I do it for the enjoyment of playing -- but I can sure smell your sulphur
