How did the worlds first Horn players learn to to make music. Better yet, how did cave men learn to make tones on seashells. Or before that, monkeys make...
I'd really appreciate any suggestions for a good trumpet/horn duet that would stand up to 6 hours' coaching. The players are fairly proficient so they could...
