[TPIN] Starting a beginner on a Cornet vs Trumpet

[James Klages]

One can learn either. For many cornet is easier to hold. (Depending on the
player's size.) Cornet can favor a more melodic approach. The budget of the
family and other circumstances usually trump (  ;) ! ) whether or not
student starts on cornet or trumpet rather than the teacher's preference.

Enjoy.
