Sorry to say that this is not exactly a clarinet question but can someone tell where to look for good beginner's brass playing guides on the net?
particularly for trumpet? Thanks! Any help is greatly appreciated!

I know this is also somewhat unrelated, but does it hurt woodwind playing to also play brass instruments? Is that why there aren't many people who can double on brass and woodwinds?

i don't know how playing both kinds affects ur playing/embochoure, but i once played in a band where the oboist doubled as a euphonium player. lol, talk about an interesting double.

Many folks double on all kinds of stuff, AntiAlias; brass, strings, percussion and other u-name-its. The general concensus from previous discussions, as I recall, seems to be that it won't harm anything including your main instrument, as long as you keep up adequate practice time. If you neglect your main instrument whilst learning a 'new' one, you'll likely have to run to catch up later. My fun-time double is cornet and it hasn't bothered anything except a few ears... embouchure and breath control are remarkably similar, in my opinion.
Happy Tootin' !
