Trumpeting in C.
Today I managed to play C trumpet (Bb concert) note in third octave,
which means I managed to play trumpet notes in four octaves (from D small
to third C). This is a major progress, and although playing very high tones
is quite unreliable (I can only reliably play upto F#-G# of second octave),
as long as very low (down to small D I think its flows good).

Now I'm entering next stage of the playing: to actually play and not produce a sound, i.e. being able to link multiple notes into a single melody.
I started with "Grasshopper in the grass" ("V trave sidel kuznechik"):
"Grasshopper in the grass" notes.
First half should be repeated two times (second time without one last C) before second half.
Sometimes it sounds not that awful :)
