G G C, GCE, GCE, GCE, GCE fingerings for taps

It can be played with any fingerings, as long as they're the same. If one note is played open, they are all open.
Generally it's all open, and that's the way I have always played it.

ive been playing 8 years, and i have to play this next week for a funeral. it IS all open
-
i was their last week and your right
-
Ok well I won't argue anymore. If you want proof that it is played all open on a Bb trumpet then just look at any trumpet player on youtube wearing a US military uniform and see that they do not have any valves pushed down. Quite sure that the US Military Academy of Music knows a little more than anyone on youtube.

wrong, you actually wanna start on an f(first valve) i'm an instrumental major a university and am playing taps at an upcoming funeral and i have the sheet music and it's keyed Eb and starts on F....idk why they don't just key it in F but oh well....G works just as good but officially it starts on an F...lets you play a whole step lower too :)
-
coolpatrick04, it all depends on the key of the trumpet you are playing on. To put it in the traditional key that is played on a bugle on a "Bb Trumpet",which I am assuming that you are playing on, start on G in the staff and play it all open. NO VALVES!

yea thanks for repeating everything that I said.

Geez I love it when kids get on here and argue. Taps is traditionally performed on a bugle, which is in the concert key of F. Therefore if played on a Bb trumpet it should be all played open starting on G in the staff. Then it is all based off the overtone series for trumpet. If you don't know what that is then look it up. There, the arguement was solved by a professional trumpet player. Also if you have never performed it for a funeral you have no idea the difficulity of it.

Taps isn't about difficulty or skill. It's purely about honoring the soldiers who so heroically gave their lives for the continued prosperity of the United States.
