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.)
i play both
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
i love the trumpet.
I really appreciate the 215th army band for posting this clip. This is very good material for someone just starting out. Thank you very much.

itll help for when you want to blow high notes
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.
You are in good company. The angels in heaven also play trumpets.
The look matters too, dudes. Harry James had a gold plated trumpet. It matters.
The only thing it needs is HD, Other than that, it’s great!
Thanks for the pix of the ring with lips somewhat apart,,.
cool instument
i play it
yes. there are trumpet lessons. i need them so badly. im not very good at it but im still learning
When did Dan Akroyd start playing trumpet?
thanks!!
are you 60 years old now? or a lil bit older? it’s cool, i wish i was there so you can teach me
The best trumpet lessons video from youtube. Great job!!
thank you very much for all the lessons!!
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 gonna take lessons. It won’t take me that long to learn it.
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.
hola soy de chile y quiziera si me pudueras subtitulatr el video porfa
gracias
Use vasoline. It’s cheap (small jar lasts forever)….and keep the horn clean.
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.
