Trumpet Breathing
This is the heart and soul of trumpet playing. Take a relaxed deep breath and blow out through your lips.
Trumpet Buzz & Play
With the mouthpiece in the middle of your lips, create a hole in your lips and blow air through it. If you slowly make the hole smaller as you blow the buzz will begin! Add the mouthpiece to your pTrumpet and repeat the process to make your first sounds
Hand position
This is the most common way to hold the pTrumpet in your left hand – firmly grip the valve block between your thumb and index finger. This is the most common way to place your fingers from your right hand on the pTrumpet’s valves and unique little finger rest.
