That was awful, truly awful. Did she get any notes correct?

@DaN - If she could really play the horn, I bet she would have been able to *kinda* transcribe on the spot.

We need a smiley with blood gushing out its ears.
She\'s almost as evil as brussel sprouts, which are the ultimate evil in the known
universe.
What was with the Charlie Chaplin walk in the cantina bridge? Ugh.
I managed to get 2/3 of the way through it before I started weeping.

@Ainu - now, I\'m no EXPERT on brass, having only played bugles (Valveless trumpets - think of rememberance day when someone plays the last post)
But I know that playing the bugle, due to the embature (spell?) - that is the shape of the mouth and lips when playing, there are only a few notes within a scale that a human can achieve - although, if you are good you can get these same notes in 3 scales (even more if you\'re expert)
I think they are something like F, Bb, C, and D#
Now, valved instruments like trumpets, etc allow the player to lengthen the tubing of the instrument, thereby altering it\'s pitch, and still alter his own embature to hit a range of notes, giving a greater range...
However, I\'m not sure whether that would allow the full range (A, Bb, B, C, C# ... etc)
So maybe she COULDN\'T be able to transpose what she had learnt on the spot - and also, anyone who has tried to transpose a piece of music - unless you are very skilled it can take a while.
Forgive the long winded answer, and I still find it funny due to the crappy \"dance\" routine that went with it
, but I can\'t help but feel for her musically

I\'ve played trumpet for 5 years
It wouldn\'t be difficult to find (at the very least) what key one is playing in (1. she should have confirmed this. 2. if she really is musically talented (we have established that she is not
) then she could at least stumble around in the proper key).Thunderhawker

Having been a brass player (Trombone, trumpet/coronet/Euphonium) since about 5th grade (thats over 20 years folks) I can tell you that is not an embouchoure problem. Either the band was in a different key, the playback was modulated to a different key/pitch, or she had a tuning slide WAY out of place. Even playing cold wouldnt throw her off that far. My wife teaches music (two degrees in it) and agrees that she is at least off by a whole step.
All that said, a fifth grader could have played what she elected to play. The star wars theme in its most basic form is ridiculously easy to play.

That was the musical equivalent of that geography answer that other beauty contestant gave recently. EPIC FAIL
