cheezedogg 23 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 how much time do you have? If you have enough time, it would be better to learn a horn piece. But if not enough time, then i think it would be fine to do a trumpet solo peice on Horn. I've heard the many a horn solos at I&E be trumpet solos. And i've heard horn abd even once a trombone player use a trumpet solo for audition for college. Just makes sure its a challenging piece, and that you play it well, don't go for really hard and not be able to play it, i've learned one thing so far about auditions, its better to have alittle bit easier solo and play it really well than a harder one and not sound as good.

Jeremy Emerson Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Play something that really brigns out YOUR strengths. If you can get a really full sound, and/or you can work your vibrato pretty well... look into a lyrical style piece. Ask your band director or private instructor... or somebody who's marched before. Ask around! There's somethig out there you can sound good on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
