Q: i wanna get back into trombone, but i will undoubtedly suck for a time and know of no private space to practice out of earshot of roommates and neighbors. can you think of a way to work around this besides just playing at home, risking the grumpy lady next door ripping my door off its hinges and wrapping the slide around my scrawny neck and shoving the bell over my dumb head?
A: you will have to risk it, but it may be useful to think of some other places in the world where people must learn to play trombone while living in a 1 room house with 9 families and no heat and all the water is dirty and there is constant threat of disease and starvation ..... and yet they still manage to get good at trombone somehow, sometimes it actually saves them from disease, due to good spirits
