Baroque trumpet

Time really do fly. It has been almost a month, but not quite there yet, since I last updated this blog. For this hiatus, I have no better reason other than pure laziness. Well, I think most people can relate to my situation as blogging sometimes take away energy and mood.

Lessons are behind me now for the time being. And I am expected to take up a job to ease my financial status. But working sucks. And the pay for most places is pretty low. My brother initially asked me to go work part-time for G*ld*n V*ll*g*. But the pay is only $4 per hour! That is slightly better than golden 'M' i think. Anyone would expect a well established company with so many cinema to have a better pay rate than that.

Anyway, Smith brought in a Baroque trumpet to lend Shaune and the others to use for excerpts exam. The instrument is really cool and the sound unique. Here you can view a video of a few members of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment playing a short piece on period instruments. Most of the musicians around really have no idea where their instruments came from or sounds like before.
