<p>Interesting comment…a bit of a digression here, but IMHO students “progress faster” through their talent and perseveration. Of course their instrument can’t be problematic…but I don’t think that there is a guarantee that a student will progress faster on trumpet A than trumpet B.</p>
<p>Re: what Bassdad noted…again speak with the teacher. Are 9 year old beginners even taught to “tune on the fly” with their tuning slides? I would think that there are tons of other technique things that would be taught first…</p>
