Quotation of the Day for April 9, 2014



"It is a fact that 99 per gent of our 'budding' young trumpeters will never be called upon to double-tongue the Flight of the Bumblebee in public performance. It is much more likely that in the normal course of his employment, the trumpeter will be required to play mostly minims, some crotchets, a few quavers, and only rarely a few semiquavers, with a great number of rests thrown in."

- Delbert A. Dale, from Trumpet Technique.
