This week was band instrument selection week at school. As a 5th grader, Martin now has the privilege of playing an instrument. Much like the sorting hat at Hogwarts, the instrument mysteriously selects you.
The trombone selected Martin, so then we purchased him a starter trombone. At this point I will refrain from posting you tubes of him learning how to play!
As a mother of a trombone player I can promise you that it will get better if he sticks with it and private lessons will not be a waste of time. My son is now a senior in highschool and I can pick his horn out of the band just by the sound.
