To: "Keith Reynolds" <trumpet1 at nycap.rr.com>; ...Or maybe I need to learn 
one new set of fingerings that I can use on Eb and F parts with a Bb and C 
horn. Whatever it is, I know it requires practice. That goes without saying. 
I just don't want to waste time practicing the wrong approach. Am I on the 
right track?

I think that no matter what method you use, practice is the real key to 
learning. Human beings are lucky, because our brain power enables us to 
relearn some pretty complex things. There was a guy who donned a pair of 
glasses that made everything backwards and upside-down. When he first put 
them on, he couldn't even stand up. In about one week he could drive, read, 
and do everything else while wearing them. He made a small pair and put them 
on a chicken. If he hadn't taken them off, the chicken would have starved to 
death standing on a mountain of corn.....So, while you are learning to 
transpose, just be glad that you aren't a chicken....:^)
