hey ive never played the trumpet but have always wanted to. my Granddad has a bugle and i want to learn how to play it is it like the trumpet and do u have any advise??????
@jalen77232 The trumpet and the bugle are about the same as a single-speed bicycle vs. a ten-speed. The bugle is simply a curved pipe and can only produce certain notes, namely, G and D. A trumpet has valves which enable you to play all other notes. Having said that, you *can* use a bugle for basic mechanics, like embouchure practice...in other words, how to purse your lips to make them buzz, producing sound. Once you get that down, do bugle calls until you can get that trumpet.
@EwanMcGreggor Breathing is a very important thing with trumpet. If you don't breathe it won't make a good tone at all, and it may have serious health risks unrelated to the trumpet.

I have been playing trumpet for 17 years and think this is a great vid for someone who may not know anything about playing. A lot of people think that we 'hum' into the horn to make the sound. I think these guys are doing a good thing here...plus, they have some great tones!
I press the trumpet too hard against my lips, so it makes a ring around my lips. When I don't do this and the mouthpeice isn't pressing against my lips, no sound comes out. Help!
@Ignorance96 what you need to do is practice long tones. take a little bit of pressure off your lips each time and do your best to get a full sound. if you adjust the pressure too much you will have that problem with no sound. just take a little off each time and keep trying. you'll get it eventually!!!
I started playing trumpet about four days ago. I have learned three songs and have been able to pick out a few others. I am haveing a hard time making all the notes clear when I switch from one to another. Could you give me some pointers on how to fix this. Also I am haveing a hard time hitting high E is it just soon soon to be able to do that becuase I have not devloped my whole range yet?
! It is normal to have that difference in pressure between pitches . Here is another trick: Think eee for higher notes and ah for lower notes.
Breathing is still the number one factor that is overlooked and practising long notes may be boring but are really helpful for everything discussed in this video.
My lower lip, when playing trumpet, protrudes too much to the front, arching and ugly showing the portion in red, which in normal position (when the lips are closed) was just under the top lip and was not seen, but at the time of pushing into the mouthpiece sticks out, making a turn out of about 90 degrees, and takes actually a vertical position in front of my face. that badly influences a vibration of the lips.
Possibly you could recommend some kind of an exercise known to you to prevent that?
@yujinls Maybe you could post a video. It is something we have to see. If your mouthpiece is too small, perhaps, or you need to strengthen your facial muscles (start by playing a lot of long notes.) Good luck.
A very useful video for many with some good advice and great playing. I'm a little worried though as I play with most of the techniques it says are wrong!
I've been playing the trumpet for about 3 or 4 months now and we are getting ready to do our first concert at school... I hope we sound as good as you....
IKR... I've been playing the Trumpet since the 7th grade and I'm a senoir now..and my new teacher is telling me I play with too much bottom lip..Which is the reason why I have problems playing High.he says... But I'm slowly I repeat slowly getting used to the embouchure...but I hear improvement.. GReat Video..
@gaffery1 your teacher is WRONG, look at Wynton Marsalis and tell me if he has problems playing high. I've heard him play quite a few double C's.........if more bottom lip is right for you, stick with it, don't change just because someone thinks it doesn't look right.
There is a wealth of info on the net about embouchres, you should spend some time researching before you change. My guess is you aren't playing high because something youre doing (habit you've developed) is keeping you from it
i have been playing trumpet for 5 years, and now my trumpet teacher is having me fix my embroshure because my lips were completely wrong, i just tried this meathod and i am getting used to it, THANK YOU!!! it is helping ALOT!!!
@TheScreaminTrumpet Dude TOTALLY same thing here!I played trumpet for 5 years too and now he is saying that my throat is closed and air too compressed and lips too tight.
Thank you so freaking much, 215thArmyBand. My 2 problems I have with mt trumpet is getting my pitch high for the G note (Even though I know G, C, D, E, and F right now) and sometimes I make crappy tones. This will help me alot. I can't say how much I thank you.
wow. beautiful warm sound. the lessons helped me very much. i did the air exercises for a view weeks and my trumpet sound gets warmer and i can player higher now.
@HumanityAssassin23 I assure you, they're US Army field band, their band uniforms look very similar to the Marine Corps dress blues, however, musicians in the USMC band wear a red uniform.
I have been playing trumpet for 3 years. For some reason I cannot seem to get the proper mouth position. No matter how I shape my lips I always seem to have a muddy tone. When I do have a decent sound A'lot of air comes through the bell. Any ideas of what may solve thi. I have tried 3c and 7c mouthpieces.
@BCCHSMD A better tone can be produced by avid use of long tones, pedal tones
(notes below F#), a more "free" vibration, horse flapping before playing to stimulate blood flow, and listening to recordings to get a better feel for what your want your tone to sound like - your tone is a very personal thing and takes TIME and PRACTICE to develop.
I bought a trumpet less than an hour ago. I have been practising on just mouthpierce(7C)for a little while, I have been taking help from youtube videos, I got home and thought I would have another look before approaching the instrument, the first that came up was yours, extrememly useful, the best I have seen yet, Will definitly take your advice as I think the approach first class.
I like your tone quality. I am a trumpet player, but I seldom practice, How can I improve my tone quality and my toquing. What practices should I do?. Thanx...( ^_^)
i've been playing trumpet for 3 years and pressing the mouthpiece too much and too hard againts my lips becomes my habbit since..... do i have a chance to change and correct that sir..???
@robinorbita yes what you want to do is put the trumpet on your lips as lightly as possible, and play for about a minute without pulling it back on your lips harder and increase the time gradually until you can play for a whole practice section without the instrument killing you rlips. (hint, ive always noticed that when people put too much pressure their lips turn white when the mouthpiece comes off, so practice in front of a mirror.
Practicing musicians / learners, if you could fill out my easy 4 question survey for my research project it would be much appreciated. The link is in the info of my video called practicing musicians thanks.
@Huskyowner2007 honestly the only way for your embouchure to get stronger is to practice. i recommend HL Clarke's technical studies, it's a great book to work on lip and breath support especially in the upper register. When you've gone through a few exercises, you should feel yourself having a stronger embouchure but it takes time so practice practice practice!
try just blowing air through the trumpet first, then play. something that has helped me get better at the trumpet is listening to professional trumpet players and trying to copy thier sound.
I having issues with the breathing. I always hold my breath when I play and it's really difficult to stop. Can somebody give me some more tips. It's really fusturating!!!
try playing a piece you play in band or wherever you play and when theirs a rest try breathing very close to the next note... give yourself enough time to get a full breath but just little enough so you dont have a chance to hold it. you could also try just breathing in then lightly breathing out before you start playing to keep you from holding your breath and keep some air moving ... just a few thoughts
I would suggest doing some exercises. Get a metronome and set it at a slow tempo... maybe 60bpm. Breath in 4 counts and out 4, and then do that for a while. Then when you do that, go in 4 out 8. then in 4 out 16, then in 4 out 20. Then try in 2 out 4, in 2 out 8 etc. Do EACH many times at a slow tempo. a lightheaded feeling may occur, that's normal, just take some heavy sighs and you'll feel fine again.
i luv the trumpet this is my 2nd year and i have all region try outs this year!!!!!! =S wish me luck my music is pretty hard im still working on getting that G above the staff a and Bb
Wat? o_o.. I've been going at the trumpet for 3 months and I can hit the F below that G. Have you made sure to do several lip slur exercise and lots of practice? (And when I say F I mean with good sound, I can hit the G but it's really pinched.)
no worries dood, i've been playing for about 14 years, and i started playing above the staff at about year 2 and a half. You'll be hitting that C before you know it.
A brass trumpet, tarnished an tinged, can make the most beautiful music if the musician has a love and passion for the art...gold or platinum plating does not, a good trumpet, make.
Exact embouchure positioning is an entirely personal matter. Usually, it's about 50-50 but some do better with a little more on the top lip or bottom. Arban might've said 2/3's on bottom but Harry James said 2/3's on top, and Harry also said "but the opposite has often has excellent results as well."
Having perfect pitch will help you play later on but it has nearly NOTHING to do with developing a decent embouchure on a brass mouthpiece. Sorry. It's proper technique and LOTS of practice.
Yeah, if you procrastinate. I just scored mine about 2 days ago and I can already play taps on it. Not hard at all. I am not very fast when it comes to changing notes but its getting there.
Does anybody else disagree with the symmetrical embouchure? The embouchure is traditionally supposed to be 2/3 lower lip, 1/3 upper lip (recently made the switch from 50-50 to that, improved my sound a lot)
Actually there is no correct way. It actually varies from player to player. I use the 2/3 lower 1/3 upper, but if you notice, Jon Faddis even plays a little to the side, but he still plays phenomenally. They just want to incorporate a textbook embouchure for their own purpose.
great video man. however i just want to ask you a question though, im new at trumpet playing and already, the tuning slide of my horn is kinda stuck man i didn't know what happened or what i did wrong but it just got stuck, do you have any tips in loosening it or do i need to buy a new one? thanks in advance man. keep it coming man.
you should take your trumpet to your local music store to see if they can get it out. then grease the the tuning slide with slide(not valve) oil. periodically grease your slide every month or so.
a cheaper way that will also work is that you could get like some sort of grease from around the house and use that, but make sure that it isn't something that you use for cooking though
Get a little jar of Vasoline. It's the best thing for slides and one jar will last you many many years. I've been playing 50 years and NEVER had a slide I couldn't remove when I wanted to.
I'm pretty good with the trumpet, althought I rarely practice. when I was young, I damaged my teeth and now I have a gap. Could that be affecting my embochure?
thx guys i just got a trumpet for christmas well early one and this helped alot!

no worries dood, i've been playing for about 14 years, and i started playing above the staff at about year 2 and a half. You'll be hitting that C before you know it.

The look matters too, dudes. Harry James had a gold plated trumpet. It matters.
rainbowschild 2 years ago
A brass trumpet, tarnished an tinged, can make the most beautiful music if the musician has a love and passion for the art...gold or platinum plating does not, a good trumpet, make.

Exact embouchure positioning is an entirely personal matter. Usually, it's about 50-50 but some do better with a little more on the top lip or bottom. Arban might've said 2/3's on bottom but Harry James said 2/3's on top, and Harry also said "but the opposite has often has excellent results as well."

great lesson. I was gonna learn how to play but I heard it takes months to develop an embouchure
PhuckHue2 2 years ago
it doesnt really it just depends on how often you practice
MLGcinamin53 2 years ago
you suggest I should buy a mouthpiece first and practice? I amost have perfect pitch and I already know how to play several instruments
PhuckHue2 2 years ago
Having perfect pitch will help you play later on but it has nearly NOTHING to do with developing a decent embouchure on a brass mouthpiece. Sorry. It's proper technique and LOTS of practice.
Dane1066b 2 years ago
I'm gonna take lessons. It won't take me that long to learn it.
PhuckHue2 2 years ago
Yeah, if you procrastinate. I just scored mine about 2 days ago and I can already play taps on it. Not hard at all. I am not very fast when it comes to changing notes but its getting there.

Does anybody else disagree with the symmetrical embouchure? The embouchure is traditionally supposed to be 2/3 lower lip, 1/3 upper lip (recently made the switch from 50-50 to that, improved my sound a lot)
Otherwise, Grade A video.
undyingflame27 3 years ago
Actually there is no correct way. It actually varies from player to player. I use the 2/3 lower 1/3 upper, but if you notice, Jon Faddis even plays a little to the side, but he still plays phenomenally. They just want to incorporate a textbook embouchure for their own purpose.
jjcantu86 2 years ago
Arban sad 1/3 upper as well. Clarke sad 50% on both , but not many play with 2/3 upper I think,,, I havent seen any with that playing good...

great video man. however i just want to ask you a question though, im new at trumpet playing and already, the tuning slide of my horn is kinda stuck man i didn't know what happened or what i did wrong but it just got stuck, do you have any tips in loosening it or do i need to buy a new one? thanks in advance man. keep it coming man.
SKAnurse311 3 years ago
you should take your trumpet to your local music store to see if they can get it out. then grease the the tuning slide with slide(not valve) oil. periodically grease your slide every month or so.
gamecubic92 3 years ago
thanks man. im really new at this. but what happens if its greased with valve oil? will it be stuck eventually or something?
SKAnurse311 3 years ago
valve oil is too thin for greasing. it'll dry and make the tuning slide as stuck as it was before.
gamecubic92 3 years ago
thanks again for the tip man.
SKAnurse311 3 years ago
a cheaper way that will also work is that you could get like some sort of grease from around the house and use that, but make sure that it isn't something that you use for cooking though
dekunut94 3 years ago
Get a little jar of Vasoline. It's the best thing for slides and one jar will last you many many years. I've been playing 50 years and NEVER had a slide I couldn't remove when I wanted to.
Dane1066b 2 years ago
are you 60 years old now? or a lil bit older? it's cool, i wish i was there so you can teach me
Aminharp 2 years ago
Use vasoline. It's cheap (small jar lasts forever)....and keep the horn clean.

I'm pretty good with the trumpet, althought I rarely practice. when I was young, I damaged my teeth and now I have a gap. Could that be affecting my embochure?
