I started out playing Tenor horn as a kid for nearly 8 years. When the other Tenor players switched to French horn because Tenor sheets were hard to come by for many pieces, I was a stubborn kid and refused to swap instruments. I eventually taught myself to switch one note up (or was it down?) while playing French horn sheets flawlessly on the fly. When my schoolmates left the band I did too, and I still regret it to this day. There was something I was uniquely talented at but, puberty does its thing
