But she still has to realize that the second line down is F and not D. She would still have to learn bass clef, which would complicate things. Let's say Mr. Foxworth wants her to play a G. She looks at the second line up and automatically thinks that's G, when it's really a B. On the other hand, if you tell her to play a note on the bottom line, she'll know the fingering is 1+3 or 4, but she won't know that she's playing a G. She won't know what note she's actually playing.

Prior experience with T.C. valved instruments does make a difference, but only a very small difference. The problem is learning that the notes on the staff aren't EFGABCDEF anymore, but that they're GABCDEFGA.

almost every person who switches to a lowbrass instrument from a woodwind switches immediatly to bass celf. its really not as hard as it seems. i can switch between treble and bass on demand. alto celf........i have no idea
also the note name doesnt really matter while your playing the music, im sure you dont think about the name of the note while playing. you see where it is on the line and hit the buttons that go with that line.
i didnt even know there was a difference between treble and bass clef when i switched. i didnt even know untill halfway through freshman year

I can switch between clefs too. I'm not fluent in bass clef (lol clef is now a language fyi), but I can still do it. Same with alto clef.
Reading the notes doesn't matter when you're learning fingerings just to play music, but when you need to do a scale (which we do a lot), you'll be lost if you don't know the notes. If you associate B with the middle line on the staff, you'll play the wrong note when you try to figure out what fingering to use. But if you know that B is really the second line up, then you'll get the fingering right. Just saying, "This line is B, and B is second valve," isn't enough. You have to know how to read the clef. Just let Haley play T.C. and learn B.C. if she wants to, and let's stop this argument.

It was never an arguement, it was an open discussion. i figure Mr. Foxworth will just decide

Lol it would. We should videotape Mr. Foxworth conducting but paste my avatar on his head.

We've got three rookie trumpets this year! Which puts us at a total of 11! And one of them is an eighth grader! (Matt's brother.)
