Oh, I will immediately stop being a slacker and learn a few more instruments :-), well unfortunately I sometimes also have to learn a little bit for the study…
But the next song will be in English again, I hope!

I'm glad the corrections are helpful. Your German lyrics help me with my German, too. I look forward to your next English song!

Hmm, I’m not really sure what you make wrong with the trumpet. How flat is the tone that comes, is the difference a whole semitone or a whole step or just a little detune?! Because a detune normally can be corrected by the bigger slide. And of course the mouth and the breathing is also responsible for the tune, but if you have a high tension on your lips and enough breath and your tone that comes doesn’t flutter, then you make it alright! But test the higher tones, you will have less problems with the intonation with higher tones than with lower ones!

I think I have high lip tension and an even tone on the lower notes (even if they aren't the correct note), but since I can't get the higher tones well I think this means I haven't developed my lip muscles enough! I remember that when I played clarinet frequently, my muscles were much stronger then. I think maybe I just need to build up endurance again.
I will try practicing more and see what happens, Schmidti. I had hoped the trumpet would be easier to play! It looks so effortless when I see others playing... sigh.
