What is the easiest instrument to to switch to from the bartione/euphonium?

Q: I play the euphonium, and it's a wonderful instrument, but I'm getting bored with it. What is the easiest instrument for me to learn how to play? I don't want to play trombone or tuba!

A: If you are against doing trombone or tuba then your next brass choice would probably be French horn - although the mouthpiece will be considerably smaller. It might be a little more of a challenge for you and maybe keep your interest longer. Good luck.

Musician, composer, teacher.

    there's this instrument, piano, but some people don't have the knack with it.
    Then, there's recorder, but it gets boring after a while. Violin is easy for some people.
    Then, if you are so out of ideas, then just sing!
    I sing

    Did you read your part in the treble clef or bass clef?
    If you read it in the treble clef, the notes and fingerings are the same as on the trumpet.
    If you read it in the bass clef, the notes and fingerings are the same as on the tuba.
    Oh, that's right, we crossed out tuba.

Arizonans dig out from massive snowstorm CNN

(CNN) -- A bulldozer operator driving along a quiet, snow-covered road inside the Navajo Nation territory in northeast Arizona in recent days saw an unexpected pathway on a hill.

He soon discovered a mother and her two children making their way toward him, after struggling for nearly a mile through deep snow that had trapped them inside their home for at least two days.

The driver gave them food and water and called for help. The trio was picked up by a rescue helicopter, said Eric Neitzel with the Arizona Division of Emergency Management.

A bevy of emergency teams and equipment has been on an urgent relief mission since January 21, when a major storm hit the Navajo Nation and the much-smaller Hopi Reservation that it surrounds.

The snowfall is forecast to taper off Thursday night and Friday, Neitzel said. However, officials expect the relief effort to continue until Sunday or Monday.

As much as an additional foot of snow fell overnight in places like Tuba City, Arizona, Neitzel said, prompting air drops of more Red Cross blankets and 4,000 deliveries of food. The blankets are delivered to distribution points, where they are picked up by one of four Army National Guard helicopters.
