Your tuition is absolutely first class. The instrument I have had difficulty with is a single note bugle and the advice here has helped me along tremendously. I have noticed, that every time you put the instrument to your mouth, you wet the lips with the tongue. Should the lips be wet or dry ?

[eTrumpetLessons]

@scragster105 Wet vs dry lips when playing the trumpet is kind of a personal preference, and varies from one trumpet player to another. I find that a wet embouchure gives me better response than dry. Experiment a bit, listen carefully to your tone, maybe even record yourself, and see what feels/sounds best for you. Good luck with the trumpet playing!

Very insightful presentation. Thanks alot. I've been playing trumpet for year but this video has helped me correct some errors in my playing.

@obumnemenwafor Glad it helps. Articulation skill is one of those areas that for many people, can never be good enough. Good luck!

I play horn and am learning trumpet for a class. I haven't had any problems with the notes, just the sound quality. It's taking some time getting used to a bigger mouthpiece but I' m hoping this will help! Thanks!

@MegaSingingsensation Your experience on the horn will be a great benefit. Good luck with the trumpet!

Thanks so much for these videos. I play Saxophone and percussion. 2 hours ago I found a trumpet in my closest that I had never seen before and was interested. Thanks to these videos, I already have decent tone, and with your help giving the first 5 notes to the C scale, I was able to finish it on my own. 2 hours, one scale, good tone, 7 notes, Thanks so much!

@nshingari D in the staff (4th line) is fingered with the 1st valve. Use plenty of air to help ensure you're not hitting Bb, also played 1st valve.
