I just got a trumpet and thought this would be easy, but it's tricky, like whistling. It's not just blowing air, I discovered. Music is hard.
how's it going three years later?
I switched to piano after a few weeks. ;) @@wohthere805

I love Jazz music since I was like 14 years old. Last week I turned 34 and my friend gave me his old trumpet so I could learn. I play guitar so I am no stranger to music... anyway after watching a few tutorials I found your class and so far I already got the buzzing going, which I never thought I could. I'll keep watching! Thank you so much John !
I play saxophone, learning clarinet, trumpet, and piano. And Guitar is still the hardest instrument, I could never learn it
Wish i had this instruction b4 i was years into my playing. Took years more to correct it.. but after proper instruction became soprano cornet. Some of the best years of my life hitting them high notes🎉😅
Brilliant! I was a boy bugler over 50 years ago and took it up for special days last year. I have been struggling to hold a note without it "disappearing". I watched this, changed the position and we're back on track. thank you.
Thank you for this wonderful feedback! 🎺
🎺
Im in symphony currently. I'll tell you, for atleast 8 years, i've played my trumpet way too low. I then tried fixing it and within a month straight of practicing, my sound is better, my range is better, my quality of air is being used 100% instead of 60%. Make sure you show this to all players, veteran or not. Because sometimes, we may not be playing correctly.
VERRRY MUCH THANKS !!!
That answered many questions! (especially using the wedding ring on a stick). That, in itself, answered many questions.
I gave my hands a fit, in industry and had to have Carpal Tunnel surgery on BOTH hands. I lost my fingertips, as far as workability, but the hot pain up my arms is gone, but so is my guitar playing. I love to play music. My grandson decided he wanted a sax, so I got him a baritone sax. Then, he came in one day with a trombone, that he had saved his money and bought. He leaves it up here at my house and plays at it when he comes up here to visit. I figure, since it's here, I may as well learn to play it. I love 1930's & 40's Swing music, so, why not...I also bought a cheap bugle, like what they used in the Civil War...from Harbor Freight...about $25.00 if I remember correctly. I cant use my fingers well, so I figured I'd learn to play horns. I appreciate any & All the helpful info I can get. If I make it another 5 or 6 months, I'll have lived for Seven Decades! I feel every minute of it !!!
Hi there! Yes I’m late to the party but I would like to say how much you have helped me with my struggles in my mouthpiece! For a beginner trumpet player you are extremely helpful! Thank you! I’m subscribing.

Thank you very much for this explanation.
I am in band class testing out which instrument best fits me. I really want to play the trumpet, but I am really good at trombone. Pls make a video on the trombone. And tell us easier ways to do this. Btw you made this video really good! Very helpful
I have played trumpet 40 years now, but there has been few long breaks. Now I started again. I have always put mouthpiece in the center, little bit right because of my upper teeths and especially those four in the center, which are not in correct line. I start to to change my position more up now, this is very interesting trip to learn to play in new way and hopefully with better sound. I use 3C Bach mouthpiece now, but I also ordered one more jazz-moutpiece because it was cheap. I think it's no so deep as 3C is.
A 3C is pretty good standard to start with. "Jazz" mouthpieces usually have a more shallow cup, so watch for that. I recommend recording yourself and listening to it back so you can hear it.
super late but i just got my braces off and this is helping a lot, thanks so much
I watched so many vids and I couldn’t play it, but this one actually showed me how to do it THANKS!
Help me
im in ms going into band for the first time and i picked trumpet bc i loved it sense i was a kid so thx for the tutorial it helped me blow into the mouthpeice right :D
Great advice, with your suggestions I have gotten something that resembles to a trumpet sound.
Well shit, that's why I did it wrong. It was literally in the center of my lips. I felt as I was doing it wrong. Thank you so much I have gotten into different places in band!
Oh my lord, this vid has improved my playing immediately absolutely amazed me
I have a playing test coming up so this was really helpful thanks
yep
Very helpful, thanks!
Cute Smile, Karly.
What a creep
Your cotonmouth noises are perfect for NPR
this vid helped so much! thank you for making this video
Hey Sniffler
Thanks bro I’m learning how to play a trumpet
Thank you so much I can play the trumpet the right way
Thank you for sharing! Great job.
Thank you! We're happy to help get trumpet players started right 🎺
thank you because I was sounding different, but now, I sound better
My son didn't know how to do it he did it like u did but he remember that his music teacher said try to make a buzz with ur lips and he did it thanks u
Happy to hear your son had success!
♫
I am just a 9-month beginner and even my teacher has not explained as good as you did. This should avoid the mark that appears on my top lip because of my mouthpiece placement.
Thanks super helpful!!
Happy playing out there..🤗
I play the tromebone but I joined marchiing band so I play the mell this worked tysm
oh thats awesome .. thanks mate
Glad it's working for you! 🎺
I wouldn't be that strict about playing on the center of the embouchure. Some of us have protruding lobe in the middle, some have teeth that cut into the lip etc etc. Playing off to the side is perfectly fine if your lip/teeth structure require it. As a proof, there are lots of fine players out there that play off to the side.
Wow.. amazing ... Thanks for sharing
Brass Music is good but needs much determination with regular practice I ha have played it for 13yrs now mainly trumpet and others
Thank You
This really helped me
Hello!
Thanks for the video!
Can you tell me please , how or with the help of what exercises is it possible to raise the low position of mouthpiece?
I've played trumpet already 15 years , I've got a very wide top lip and all time I play the trumpet with low position , often , after hard work day (when I have a strong pressure of mouthpiece) my top lip become sick.. and after it I must have a few days rest because my top lip need heal
Thanks in advance
I have one question. For years I have played the trumpet with incorrect mouthpiece placement so that my lips were not tight. I have been able to do most things a player should be able to do. I cannot manage to get a good tone out of the trumpet if I do it the correct way. Do you have any advice that would be helpful?
Jeff Kaplan Me too!
The main thing you can do is learn to relax. Try holding out the notes of a B flat scale for a long period of time to practice. Also you may be closing your throat. Try to open that up if you can.
If it works for you thats the best. Look around here. Lot of brillant players play off center. If you would start to learn the trumpet, then start with 50/50, 40/60 or so, but are not a beginner so stick to what works. That is my humble oppinion. Merry Christmas🌲
Thank you! Good method.
That helps thanks
hello sir my name is idan pozaylove
i have a very important question about the position of the mouthpiece on the lips.
im a trumpet player and my teacher told me that i need to change and put the position of the mouthpiece up even though in the past i played down (i have been trying for a year and a half do it and i do not see such good results), i see a lot of trumpeters playing up (their position) compared to individual people playing down like the legendary trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. i very want to ask you what you thinks about this what is right about this.
i would really appreciate it if you can answer me thank you very much
I learned this too late
never too late
This is really helpful
MusicProfessor Thanks for video!! It looks like you are drawing your lips in a bit. Am I right?
I'm a new newbie - Who was extremely lucky enough to get a metal mouthpiece at a low price. Its a KING 7C Trumpet Mouthpiece. I don't know if it is popular.
Thanks you
I’m here so I get a good grade in band class lol
Thank you sir!
Great tutorial. Still can't get sound out of my new trumpet but that's mostly me being an idiot. Thank you.
Have you tried buzzing without the mouthpiece and then adding it? If you can just work on that it will make things easier. And we highly doubt you're an idiot in any way...you chose to play the trumpet! 🎺🎺🎺🎺
This helped me. Thx
Very Helpful!!! Thanks !!! But I have a question .How should be your teeth to do this ? Cause the main problem for teachers is that nobody has the same denture morphology.
thank you I need this
Same TOOT TOOT
🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👌👌👍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏅🏅🏅Sir, hats off your knowledge about wind instruments. Thanks🇮🇳from india. 🥇🥇🥇
Mine doesn’t work!! Do you have to have strong lungs?
This is a classic case of a brass teacher assuming that the way he plays will suit everyone. It ignores the work of Dr Donald Reinhardt and David Wilkins among others that clearly demonstrates that multiple different mouthpiece placements are required according to the physiology of the individual.
Interesting take, Greg. It is interesting how pedagogs through the years have crafted their own substantial toolbox of materials. Certainly, one way is never definitive. We encourage students to explore additional materials and further instruction (particularly with a live instructor) so they may obtain appropriate feedback on their playing, should they be experiencing challenges. ♫
Merci papa
What if I use too much bottom lip but I can play fine. Do you think I should change it. If so, how can I change my position.
I wonder what would happen if he really replied (and he didn't) and advised you just exactly what you requested. Imagine you changed your MP position and suddenly everything went down hill. Meanwhile you kept convincing yourself that it was temporary and with time you'd return to your normal playing abilities. Wait... but why would you change something that worked fine for you just because someone else told you so?
Think about it...
VinniePaah But,why the advise really made him get better lol.. Like, I play the flute and if I roll my head joint super in or super out, I can get super high notes without really trying(I don't have to do that, but I've done it before).. The note is perfectly in tune, but I know I shouldn't be playing the flute like that.
This vid helped a lot!!! Thx
How to place the mouthpiece seems to be subjective .
i like that
The red face is funny
Completely irrelevant, some of the tips. People's jaw, teeth and lip are different, it doesn't really matter what the position of the mouthpiece is with the exception that the upper lip should be inside the inner rim of the mouthpiece.
The lower the better ...
Especially if you're going to also be learning trombone, baritone, or tuba! 🎺
XD
3:25 say why it's not good. Otherwise, this is empty rote instruction. Bad teaching theory. Without a rationale. No foundation in reason. Shallow learning in this. Empty fiat.
does it really matter.
nobody cares but u
