Ah, the joys of learning a new instrument.
Have you ever been up close to someone playing one or two long notes loudly on the trombone? It sounds similar to a foghorn and your head vibrates...I think she was laughing because I had gone cross-eyed. And a beginner blowing through the reed on a clarinet can produce squeaks that will make your hair stand on end.
The bottom photo is my daughter and the top one is her friend and they have both been playing for about 2 weeks. I expect to see them busking in Boundary Street in a few years. In the meantime, if you are in about a 2 mile radius of that trombone when it's being blown then you'll get a bit of a preview.

Oh, but once they learn they will sound beautiful! I hope they keep it up and the parents learn to live with the practices. Good work!!
That bottom photo is so much fun...I love the way she has her face screwed up in the other direction to the clarinet.
