Trumpet and Braces....HELP!!!!!?!
Question:
Trumpet and Braces....HELP!!!!!?
Ok, so I just got my braces 2 days ago. I've been playing trumpet for over 5 years, and I'm one of the top 35 musicians in the state, so I'm not just a beginner. I know it might be too soon to know for sure, but the first day, I managed to get a weak and airy C major scale out. It gets less and less airy everyday, but I'm wondering if that will hold up. Will I get better? Will I be able to play like how I used to? Should I use the wax, although it's not painful when I play, but who knows, this is only my 3rd day. What exercises should I do? ANY ADVISE WHATSOEVER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!...
