I was one of five kids in our family who played an instrument ... and I remember my (3) younger brothers playing Trumpet, Alto Sax, and Trombone. My older sister played flute and piano ... and I played a Baritone Sax.
DaD spent a lot of time at the barn ... and MoM turned the TV volume up!
M&D really enjoyed watching and listening to us through the years though. Lots of funny memories and stories that still come up whenever we all get together. Hang in there, and buy lots of asprin!!

I got into them for a while, had some tapes and used to listen to them in the jeep. Had more people roll up their windows at intersections...

That's not a mistake if she likes it, the trumpet and later trombone I had as a kid got me a very interesting (to me at least) 22 year career playing music for a living - there is a lot of self discipline and skill that can be learned from it even if it goes no farther than high school. As for yourself, get some earplugs....... :laugh2:

Give her the option of "trading" the trumpet in for a flute.
That's how my wife and I got our daughter off of the violin - ouch!

LOL! Been there. If there are any lonely cattle within three miles, well lets just say they won't give up too easy! In about three or four years it get better. Worse thing of it is, you are going to have to keep reminding her to make that $%&#ing noise EVERY DAY!
The bright side is....

LOL I 'tried' to play the trombone in grade school... My only talents with it was that I could do a faithful replication of a WWII divebomber and run around like a madman at the same time. (pre-rytalin child here)
One day the house got broken into and it was one of the two things taken. :dunno:
My next 'gig' was as a drummer... I showed a bit more talent for that, but surely wasn't the next Nicko Mc Brain. That progressed into dirtbikes and snowmobiles so I had mobility to get out of the yard and go bother other folks.

thanks guys.. it's gonna be a looooooooooooong winter... i just hope she keeps the interest.. as long as she does i will keep paying for it.. (because i just know i will always "pay" in the end..) we got the trumpet because the sax was too much $$ and she didnt want a flute...

that would be hard to do since she has specific strict instructions about NOT taking it utside (i am sure i will re-assess this decision in the future) and it is insured anyways so we would just get a new one..... i'm F'ed....
