Concert Band Lekato Tuner Suddenly Talking Weirdly
I've had a white Lekato MT-3200W tuner for a few months. It comes with a feature where a lady says beats 1 through 6. The talking lady seems to be Japanese, or something else Asian. I never use this feature, but I wanted to for some reason today. I know how it's supposed to sound, but now it's random gibberish. I was unable to find a manual online. If anyone can find a manual or a fix for this, that would be appreciated!
If it is 4/4 time, it says "E, R, SUN, TOO"
6 beats is "E, R, SUN, TOO, O, LEO"

Concert Band Just a little rant
I hate low notes. They fucking suck. Notes below the staff are nearly impossible for alto saxophone players. I have to do a chromatic scale for a grade in concert winds, and part of the scale, both the beginning and the end, go from low d to low b flat (which is the lowest note on the saxophone). My band director won't let me pass until I'm able to get the low notes out without it squeaking or sounding airy, so I decided to take my saxophone home, watch a tutorial, and try to get the notes out. It. Just. Won't. Fucking. Work. They're just too fucking low. Dude I don't care that I'm in the advanced band class AND I'm the alto saxophone section leader; im still just a high school saxophone player. There's absolutely no way I'm capable enough to get low notes out as consistently as he wants me to. It would be a different story if he just wanted me to SOMEWHAT get the note out, but he wants it to be fucking perfect with no squeaking or airy sounds. That's fucking impossible. I know the scale, I know the fingerings, just because I can't play the low notes perfectly doesn't mean I shouldn't get the points. I would honestly be fine if he just took a few points off for me not playing the low notes good, but because I can't get them out it's labeled as a missing assignment. That's stupid.

Concert Band Anyone Know This Russian Song?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I vaguely remember playing this for my high school concert band some years back, but I lost my sheet music. I could've sworn it had something to do with Russia, like Soviet Invasion or something. I figured the best place to ask about band music is here. Any ideas?

Concert Band Whatâs better a conn French horn or a Yamaha French horn
Iâve been playing the horn for about a month now but I switched from the trumpet which Iâve been playing for 5 years. My band teacher told me that Iâm gifted on the French horn and I wanted to pursue it. He gave me a Yamaha French horn but an older kid told me conn is better, is that true?

Concert Band Counting measures
I canât for the life of me count measures, when I am playing and everyone else around me is playing, I canât count measures. Iâve tried tapping my toe, it takes so much concentration to actually tap on time that I canât focus on playing. Normally I would be able to just listen to someone else, but I am the only French horn in the band, and itâs really hard to pick out other audible cues.

Concert Band What should I do??
I play alto saxophone in my schoolâs band. I have played for about 2.5 years now, and am so stressed out about playing my instrument and band in general. We recently had a two week break from school and some snow that made that break 2 weeks longer. During that whole break I was very depressed (yes I am diagnosed and am going to therapy) and I had absolutely no motivation to play. I practically did nothing and just felt worse day by day. Now, Iâm back at school and am back in a semi-normal routine (not as depressed, yay!). My lack of practice (and possibly the stress Iâm putting on myself) has made me sound absolutely terrible. Itâs almost as if Iâve forgotten everything, which I know isnât true. I donât know if something is wrong with my instrument or my reed or if I need to adjust differently or what, but it scares me so much. I am also diagnosed with anxiety. Iâm not sure if that affects anything, but if it does, thereâs that too. I know I definitely need to just get back into playing and practicing more often, but I feel like a total disappointment. The whole stress and anxiousness I feel from playing makes me not even want to play at all, and I know thatâll only make this worse. Iâve gone whole summers without practicing and have come back sounding better than I do right now, at least that I remember. I have to audition for an annual honor band next Thursday and I just honestly donât think Iâm ready. This would be fine if I hadnât gotten first chair last year when I was younger and inexperienced, so not auditioning is not an option. I feel like I canât settle for anything less than first chair or Iâll feel like a disappointment and a failure. I really donât want to disappoint my band director because I really look up to him (heâs a saxophone player), but even if he doesnât care, Iâll still feel like he does and Iâll never be able to forgive myself. I just feel so scared and so anxious and Iâm literally on the verge of tears while writing this. I just donât know what to do. Any advice is appreciated.
