<p>Band teacher has suggested switching him to baritone or tuba, and when he wakes up I’m going to ask if he’s willing to try that. He actually had suggested switching ds last year to baritone because,“we need more baritones” and I told ds that we need to not be buying another instrument right now. The band teacher says the baritone or tuba have less pressure on the mouth, so maybe this will be the solution. It’s not like ds loves the trumpet anyway at this point. The trumpet is sort of his vehicle into high school band, so that he can be in jazz band sophomore year and play the bass. </p>
<p>Thanks all!</p>
