Teacher's trumpet

Friday, December 10th, 2010

Our class will be going to a Music in the Classroom concert in Leisureland in January.  We are listening to lots of fun classical music, and learning new songs for the concert.  Some of the music has trumpet pieces in it.  Teacher brought her trumpet to school so we could hear what it sounds like, and get to see and feel it.  We didn't however get to try it out because teacher doesn't want to be spreading germs.  This trumpet is actually a flugelhorn, a member of the cornet or trumpet family.  We thought teacher must be rich to have a trumpet made from gold, but actually teacher explained that this flugelhorn is made from brass, not gold - she can play this instrument in a brass band.  We can't wait to see the full orchestra with trumpets and flugelhorns.
