  • all notes the notes are right but the style of piece is not quite right. Work on your tonguing to make sure it is clean.

  • Blond jokes do not apply here*

  • Bl

  • i started playing at 11 now im 13. Im a bit under her as in good at trumpet but i wanna bcome good ike tht

  • I don't like it

  • i am a 12 year old girl, who are trying to learn this song on trumpet. I can do it well, but not that well-_- just saying it. Challenge accepted.

  • i made a trumpet in my bed once

  • Ugh the way she moves annoys me so much.... I can't stand it when people out Sooo much emotion into it

  • This is not good.

  • Her embochure bothers me but I can't complain. She sounds great.

  • .... What kind of sorcery is this?

    On a serious note, this is amazing.

  • Damn. That's awesome for her age.

  • her tone is sort of......not so good?

  • She also performed fin Maastricht 2 years earlier as a soloist with Andre Rieu.

  • Let's see how her career turns out. Hope she isn't a child prodigy flake.

  • Next Tine Thing Helseth.

  • @tpt528 agreed. not quite there, but definately up and coming.

  • A great job, Melissa, and one of my favorites: Haydn! Brava!

  • Just so you guys know, shes playing an E flat trumpet, so it just sounds like she's playing super high. Still great, though, I really enjoyed it.

  • Damn, she's good...

  • no other words than ..WOW!

    

  • She is amazing, but always a bit sharp! It annoys me, I can't help it...

  • @LooneyNina better than being flat though. Easily fixed.

  • @TheFrogndanable Well, she should fix it. Brass players should put more effort in their intonation!

  • It's just plain wrong for someone to be so good-looking and talented.....

  • :~-( That was beautiful........

  • For those folks making critical remarks of her playing (which by the way was amazing), two things for you. Your critiques are of no value added, as much as you'd like to think they are. Secondly, pls feel free to post vid clips of you playing (anything). Then let us critique you. Sound fair?

  • Does anyone else think she looks a LOT like Jenette McCurdy?

  • SHOW DE BOLA.......

  • Is that a Schilke?

  • beautiful

  • Bravoo

  • im just started playing trumpet..w0w your amazing!!!!!

  • that pianist must have lost all feeling in her fingers. This was well performed by Melissa.

  • When this young lady first came on the scene she played Bb trumpet (the family car of the trumpet world). The Haydn is a difficult challenge on Bb, so it is not surprising that she is performing here on an Eb trumpet (one of the sports cars of the trumpet world), and an instrument that is much more agile than the Bb. Since the Haydn is written in the key of Eb, using Eb trumpet gives the player a much easier task placing the piece in C major on the instrument. And, at 14, she plays pretty well.

  • How can you not like such great performance from such an obviously young person? I wish I could play llike that when I was in my mid teens.

  • Great ! Zou een concert van jou en Floris Onstwedder niet 's wat zijn ? Prinsengrachtconcert ..Denk wel dat dat hoge ogen gaat gooien :)

  • Sound

    , come out!

  • What a remarkable young lady...........another Tine Thing Helseth in the making. Bravo !

  • that is some damn good talent.

  • She started playing at 8. People, you need talent to be this good, but you can also work your way up and practice.

  • @MELOVESTHETRUMPET i began to play trumpet when i was 9... I am 12 and can play this song...

  • @kissiegissie well in that case, I applaude you. I started when I was twelve, I am 18 now and I'll be playing this in a recital.  I've been trying to learn this piece for two years. I'm pretty jealous you got a head start and can already play at such a high level.

  • @MELOVESTHETRUMPET thanks:)

  • Either shes been playing since she was very very young or just naturally talented.

  • Comment removed

  • Hi I'm 14 in high school.I'm in the ninth grade. I am nowhere close to your tier. You sound so amazing. I was wondering if you could help me with my practicing. I can play, but I don't really know what to practice. How long should I practice? Is there a specific good trumpet or mouthpiece? What is some good music to practice?

  • @TheAndrew057 I can actually give you some advise on this part. Practicing is not near as important as a regular schedual.... its bether to play 4days 15min then 1 day 1 hour for example. Though I myself play atleast one hour a day. What to play is arguable but its good to just play alot of music scales(every song and every hard ridle usualy is based on some sort of music scale)...

    regarding the trumpet and mouthpiece part, this is really personal. Go to a music store and try all.

  • She plays very well, and is going on the route to be an excellent trumpeter. I believe it. I'm an older trumpet player.

  • @ibeiubeu you are not supposed to puff your cheeks while you play

  • @kylemoss1234 Not supposed to but who cares? If you can do it and sound better than people who make an effort not to, then more power to you.

  • i dont like it, sorry ..

  • I absolutely love her playing. great expression. but the way her trumpet is not centered on her lips always gets me all uncomfortable. its like..... marching with bad spacing. :P

    It kind of reminds me of dizzy gilespe -- he never stopped puffing his cheeks, and look at him now!

  • @ibeiubeu It's not what it looks like, it's how well it works!

  • She is better than me and I play in college and drum corps T_T Well at least her tone is better than mine, but compared to tone, range, technical skills mean nothing.

  • @D34dlySpork which corps?

  • @Bootscv11 Haha. We're not really supposed to name our corps on the internet since as members we represent that corps. One of the big (size-wise), finalist open class corps. Also I almost marched Spirit in 09 but I had to drop the contract for financial reasons. Judging by your name you marched SCV or SCVC?

  • @D34dlySpork yea SCV a-corps '11.

  • @Bootscv11 Very nice. I thought about trying for SCVC, but I ended up sticking with my original corps. You guys are gonna be amazing this year though with JD Shaw on staff.

  • She and I should get married. Yeah.

  • I don't like her when she always move the body

  • ummm.... when will she march drum corps?

  • Bravo! Wonderful for her age - I wonder why some people have to flaunt their so-called expertise in their comments. It is so unnecessary, even rude if not ignorant. Melissa is a talented teen who, given the opportunity, could go a long way with her musicality.

    Well done!

  • @sgreenb07 Then post your video. Anyway, that comment was immature. Let her enjoy her moment.

  • goodly tone haha but range is increased by the trumpet its tuned alot higher tha a Bb trumpet

  • @gtaplopperman

    The trumpet is in "C", that is why. Not all trumpets are made in "B" flat you know, go look it up.

    Elsewhere on Youtube there are negative comments from so called experts regarding her playing including the mouthpiece position. Utter rubbish, many players play slightly off centre for a smoother tone.

    If you think I don't know what I am talking about, go look at some of my brass band video's, not many, but I was playing on them. Recorded for me by a friend.

  • @gtaplopperman

    It doesn't increase range, makes mobility a bit easier in a different register, it's an Eb trumpet.

  • @gtaplopperman Range is not increased by an Eb trumpet. If you can't play the pitch on Bb trumpet, you won't be able to do it on an Eb either. What the higher horn gives is 1. greater agility and response, 2. the tessitura is lower in the overtone series, which facilitates greater accuracy, and 3. the piece is now in C major on the instrument--no sharps, no flats.

  • Very Good!!

  • i have simalar emborchure 

  • :O this girl is amazing

  • WOW. Now that is excellent playing.

  • Its just too different without the orchestra.

  • Goodness gracious all of you, she is literally like only like 14 or 15 in this video. THIS IS AMAZING PEOPLE. She plays better than most college players. Critics these days...

  • @webusch3 She has a chance to challenge Balsom in a few years...

  • @webusch3 I agree this is really good, but it's nothing that I'd pay a hundred bucks to hear. Critics, especially knowledgeable ones, help people improve. That being said, she can't play single 16th note in time.

  • @webusch3 I'm 14 and I wish i could play so good you're right its really amazing

  • she is squeezing the air out of her body that is NEVER good but she is pretty good

  • The piano player ruined my day...

  • A N G E L :-)

  • WOW!! she has a beautiful tone!!!!

  • Play some jazz....

  • okay she can REALLY play!!! Thumbs up for this vid

  • complimenti

  • looks like a bird

  • i bet all of us are like OMG perfect but shes like dam ifucked up so many times! thats how good she is! xD

  • good but not perfect :) but she's amazing for her age

  • Cada uno con su gusto.Tine Thing tiene mayor experiencia ,quizás por ser unos años mayor que Melissa.Pero Melissa irradia dulzura y conoce bien la trompeta y estoy seguro que muchos opinan igual que yo.

  • What Key is that trumpet in? Is it an Ab? or C?

  • @madra1997 Bb

  • @madra1997 It's a Eb trumpet!not Bb

  • @madra1997 It's an Eb trumpet for those who do not know. Trumpets are pitched in many keys, although usually only employed by orchestral players. Trumpets are made in A, Bb, C, D, Eb, E, F, G, and Piccolo trumpets in A, Bb, and C.

  • lets see her join a world class drum corp

  • Ha! other talent from Holland! :d

  • All u have to do is get your kid to play the instrument wen their 3 yrs old.

  • Where the hell can I learn to play like this. Holy crap. I can't even..

  • I wonder what kind of trumpets she owns...

    Oh god the expensiveness

  • still a bit on the sharp side but nice lyrical playing !!

  • @wyndyjan its recommended for soloists to play a bit sharp.

  • @MisterOughie I'm not trying to be an ass, but where did you get, read, see, w.e that bit of information?

  • @MisterOughie Not sharp--just on top of the pitch center.

  • She must have been born with like trumpet lips or something because I've just never seen a trumpet player play like before. :/

  • btw, watch your intonation ...

    Still - great playing

  • It definetely an Eb trumpet, that's what it looks like an that's what you play the piece with ... lol

  • she can make all-state honor band easily

  • @Joselrcblkops ya think? hahaha.

  • 3 People obviously have a butthole for lips.

  • I prefer Tine Thing Helseth.

  • @retartedme95

    what kind of comparison is that...

    jeez HAAAAAAAAAAHA

  • @retartedme95 Is more sexy

  • thats a Eb trumpet

  • very good, but more tone

  • Hope I'm as good as her when I turn 16 ... oh wait, damn, too late :'(

  • The only thing I don't like is the way she holds the horn, shes still amazing

  • brilliant

    

  • @RobertWalliczek It doesn't matter, she played better than anyone who could play it on a Bb trumpet like me...

  • That is EXTREMELY clear playing!

  • Yes it is an Eb. Very nice. Do a search for Natalie Dungey trumpet.

  • Everyone who doesn't like this video should create an own one and make it better.

    Melissa you are great !! I wish you all the very best for your future.

  • So much talent for such a young kid. She is going somewhere in life for sure. Great Video perfect articulation and such a beautiful tone. Absolutely amazing.

  • its a C trumpet. cant anyone see that?

  • @btimok

    Nope because its an Eb trumpet.

  • I think I'm in love..

  • how old is she

  • @dittyboy1995 She was 15 when this was recorded. She is now 16.

  • @RobertWalliczek arent you just the little critic

  • Comment removed

  • @BIGMUDDYDOG no

  • your really good, is your trumpet schilke? what mouthpiece do you use?

  • She's really good! beautiful tone! but she needs more power behind it!

  • @GLkamina121 Haydn is gentle, delicate, focused tone, but not powerful like Mahler.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Schön! Bravo!

  • excellent tone quality

  • Hmm.. our first chair played this song for a solo this year.. he did very well and this doesn't put him to shame.. but it is deffinetly better.

  • O.M.G.!!

    I have never heard a trumpet played so beautifully!

  • @JGMagoo you need to listen to some REAL trumpet players then... lol

  • @funkmastafog Who? Håkan Hadenberger?

  • @RobertWalliczek You may be right. As for being appropriate shouldnt it be a natural trumpet to be appropriate and everything else is innapropriate :) have you listened to the guy on here that plays the Baroque trumpet, simply amazing!

    By the way don't misunderstand me this young lady is very, very talented. I'm not attacking her performance at all it is exemplary.

  • She's using a D trumpet. It's alot harder on a Bb.

  • @Microblitz i use a D trumpet and i also play a Bb trumpet thay play almost the same

  • She is going to make a ton of cash playing that horn.She be really good yo.

  • Yes, and she plays the trumpet much better than you speak English . . . yo!

  • @sorsime shame its not a horn...It's a trumpet

  • @originaltubaguy horn is a collective term for brass instruments (and also saxophones)

  • 1 person isnt musician.....that one person is regetonero..ajjjjjjjjjj

  • 1 PERSON IS JELLY

  • thats a pianist

  • thats a trompetist..!!! yeah!!!

  • I can play like that...NOT!!

  • I listen and I say amazing...I'm not interested about opinions...the best in the world..perhaps one day...till now Great!! WONDERFUL TALENTED GIRL.

  • I'm not as amazed at Melissa's talent on the horn as I am with people like Kawisakixr14. A person that can't spell, construct a proper sentence or convey a focused thought but has the audacity to slam a beautiful talented young woman.  It must be tough going through life with such a cynical mind.

  • Wow, I auditioned on this concerto for my acceptance into university. She has great facility on the trumpet! Now I am a high school music teacher, it would be a dream to have a student who could play as professionally and with such beautiful tone as Melissa!

  • She is beautiful and a great trumpet player. But then again, I don't play trumpet so i couldn't judge haha

  • Nobody said she was the best in the world. Her exceptionalism manifests itself with no need for hyperbole. No, she isn't the best in the world..but one day she might be. She obviously is very talented and willing to work hard at her playing. I say BRAVO for her.

  • I bet shes shit at Jazz

  • @TyTaxiCab - I guess there's no intelligence test to comment on Youtube.

  • this is wonderful what a feeling you bring in to the song wow

  • SHES A BEAST

  • @wiiarewin In a good way

  • Yah thats the idea just a bunch of 16th notes and what not.

  • And for the record, those who havent played this song, the song isnt overly difficult, it is fairly repetitive, the really only challenging part would be the cadenza, but that can be played however you want so kinda reduces the challenge. However the First Movement is much more techinacally challenging and is well worth playing, she does extremely well on that one as well.

  • not sure what your point is in regards to this young trumpeter.....she is a monster!

  • Well I must say, for someone her age that was a mighty fine performance, she really does have talent. Interesting arrangement I must say, but there are several variations of the classic haydn concerto. I dont know for sure but she must have started playing when she was really young, and had a personal teacher from the start. I wish I was as lucky as her, although playing for 19 years and having formal training of my own. She is probably best of her age group,but definately not best in the world.

  • This is amazing, wish i had her talent.

  • She is amazing, she has the potential to be one of the best classical musicians in recent times. Although, some could argue that she has already achieved this, and they have very good reason for said argument.

    Melissa, if you read these comments, wonderfully done.

  • WOW. I thought that she only played slow things, and I was thinking 'Oh, I can play those... not as well, but I can...' Then I saw this and I thought 'well. that's that then. she's THE best trumpet player for her age I've ever seen.'

  • @Immalovinthesingin u r ight and peole like homerboy488 are sick perverts who think if u like music u want to have sex!!!!! i wished guys like that would stay off the internet permanantly!!!!!!

  • Hey Sonofboognish...let me be the one to break it to you retard. With her looks, talent and future, she wouldn't let some moron like you who can't spell"write" even clean her spit valve. So you go get another hooters magazine and she'll go get a restraining order. Douche.
