- If your slide doesn't have a spring in the first position bumper, learn to play first position out about a quarter of an inch or so so that you have wiggle room to tune notes in first.
- Learn to play in Bb. Even if you don't play in a brass band where all the parts seem to be in either Bb or Eb, it's good practice because you can use a lot of trumpet literature for reading. Get the trumpet addition of Arban's. An easy way to think of it is to just play in tenor clef, adding 2 flats to the key signature.
Yeah, I guess that's a couple.....
