I was just wondering in general. I was considering getting a small knowledge of the trumpet to improve my treble clef reading etc... and just wanted to find out what the disadvantages seem to be. I don't ever wish to play tuba professionally, but do enjoy it a lot. I am majoring in history and wanting to go to law school, so music is really a hobby. But, then again, I figured that knowing how to play a variety of instruments would be an asset to the extracurriculars on the law school app. You can never know enough in life has always been my motto.

PS. I am also considering learning how to play the cello, just for fun. You could say that I'm a pretty weird guy :)
