Guys Just to let you know, after buying your guide, after 10 mins reading I played my first song on my new Trumpet(I've just started at the age of 51 but don't tell anyone), it was so easy! This is looking like a pretty shrewd purchase, many thanks!
JazzFunketeer I started at the age of 54. And it took me 4 years to get a high C. Now I have no problems with it. But one thing is sure: Clarinet or sax playing is pure fun (I'm a clarinetist, basically), but playing trumpet is real hard work!
+JazzFunketeer I just turned 42 and will be starting with the trumpet for the first time. I did however play the Bb tuba back in High School but it's been well over 20 years since I last touched a brass wind instrument. I'm sure it will all come back to me in no time once I get the valve fingering down because I already know how to position my lips to get a sound through the mouth piece. Practice practice practice and never get discouraged. Once you get those tunes out, it will self motivate you into getting better and better. Playing an instrument is one of those things that when you get better and better, you never stop and always want to achieve a higher level of professionalism with it.
+Gavin Stokes it's a steep learning curve and is taking time but I'm getting there, this program is good but you do not get all the videos they talk about and never reply to emails, I appreciate they are busy but if you sell a product, make sure it's all there and give support!
I used to play the trumpet at my old middle school band for 3 years and when I got to highschool I was kinda forced to play the euphonium and when I picked up my trumpet it felt like something entirely new now its summer and I had played the euphonium all year but thanks to you man I got my trump chops back thank you thank you!!
Ain't that hard he had the the first note to Herb Alpert's Spanish Flea on his first attempt now all he has to do is to get all the others in a melodic sequence simple surely? then again what the fuck do I know!
Excellent! Esp. the info on forming the lips. Forgot all that. Played 1st trumpet in H.S. but that was almost 60 years ago. Haven't touched one since. But I am interested in picking it up again - with your help! Looking forward to your other videos.
my own personal opinion would to have the right thumb in the middle of valve 1 and 2 and the fingers to play the trumpet to be pointed because it is a lot easier to push them down faster.
I prefer the ring finger for more controllability while playing the trumpet so if your playing a little sharp your can play a note in natural and pull the slide, it becomes flat
ONE IMPORTANT ELEMENT LEFT OUT ! An accomplished trumpet player can easily forget how intuitive it becomes after experience. I rented a trumpet for a month-and I could get nothing but air for weeks. I blew every which way possible. Not until I learned that the LIPS HAVE TO VIBRATE - I finally got a sound. If he included this in the first video, it would be a good one.
You say to put the right pinky in the hook but most other videos tell you to put it on top of the hook. I don't understand why they say that because why else is it there? I mean it doesn't operate a slide.
I like your video, just curious that you are the only teacher I've watched so far who doesn't talk about 'buzzing' the lips. Hopefully I'm getting a trumpet soon and look forward to trying it out. :)
When I blow i only hear hissing sound and air coming out the other way... It only started to do some sort of funny noise when I've "buzzed" my lips for like 2 seconds. Never could reproduce that again...
So, 7 nature tones - presumably this is the 7 whole notes. So the short loop drops a half note to give 1 full scale ( with 2 redundant), and the other 2 loops presumably drop an octave each, so 3 full octaves, with 6 notes that can be played 2 different ways?
I recently started playing, as a matter of fact I've been visiting trumpet lessons for just over 2 months now. Could give me an advice on using self-tearchers, for example i have downloaded Tonestro, which is supposed to help me learn on my own. Is it adviceable for a newb like me to use such a software for whenever I am unable to visit a teacher?
Sounds interesting. To be honest I haven't heard of a it. There are many other self-learning guides many of which good, others not so good. But if you like Tonestro, you should be fine.
Hello man, i liked the detail you give in your lessons! what tone do you recomed i buy my firs trumpet if im starting? and which brand? thanks in advance!
Seriously. I have great respect and appreciation for anyone trying to educate others, but why is the camera operator laughing and responding to what the instructor's saying? It's very distracting and frustrating for people who honestly want to learn. I think it's easier to monetize videos that people can actually enjoy and learn from.
Here's my issue guys, I have this 1959 Conn Director trumpet thats in good condition but I can only manage the lower bolder notes, I cant play high notes like a trumpet is supposed to make. Also the lower bold notes that I play aren't clnsistent with pitch, sometimes I play that note correctly and it usually changes pitch. Is this an issue with my embrochure/technique or an issue with my trumpet? My main tuning slide is hard to pull out sometimes, I already put grease on there.
Just bought a KING 600 with 7c mouthpiece and case(circa 1975 according to the serial#) today at a yard sale for 20 bucks. All 3 valves operate smoothly and return quickly. All slides move freely. Very little lacquer wear and one tiny ding. I haven't picked up a brass instrument since high school ( I am 59 yrs old)but I was playing a C Major (B flat Concert) scale immediately. Enjoy playing everyone.
I have played on a ptrumpet and I have found it harder to play but as a beginner it is an adequate instrument. If you learn on a trumpet thats giving you abit of resistance against you, then when you upgrade to a intermediate or student metal horn you will be able to play with more ease.
well i tried just blowing air in to the trumpet and simply no sound . but i go back to buzzing and i can make few notes i am just learning how to play trumpet all this techniques they are so confusing buzz or not to buzz, i am 54 i play a lot of instruments Piano,keyboards,German accordion,bass, 12 string guitar the Texas type, Known as sexto, play drums,guitar, and now my next goal is to play trumpet which by the was i just started 5 days ago, but i am a bit frustrated with all the limited and confusing net information .
+ultrasonicfan82 Watch Charlie Porter's videos on embouchure. When he says just blow, he means you need to blow air through your closed lips until an aperture (or hole) is formed. When your lips are not against the mouthpiece, it should just be air coming out. But once you put the trumpet to your lips, it allows your lips to buzz a little bit inside the mouthpiece. And don't play with too much pressure against your lips, learn the correct way first, which is with little pressure, that way you don't have to relearn later like I did.
And here I was thinking I was special because I could play notes without the valves... it's already a thing! Guess I'm not going to be the first middle-aged trumpet prodigy. 😩 lol
You called it a pinky hook, but it's a pinky rest, not a hook. When you played your sample tones and your chromatic scale, both times you used it the right way, as a rest, but you told us it's a hook.

+JazzFunketeer Hi just wondering how your getting on, I'm 43 and about to take up trumpet, how have you you found it so far.

Thanks for the reply, good to know I have decided to return to the piano after 20 years, so hopefully it will be easier.

Great (simple) video. I hope you will make many others!
I LOVE this!! Thank you! I bought a Nuvo JHorn today and my lips felt scrubbed...going to trade it in for a trumpet and watch your videos!! Thank you!
Sounds like the guy filming wants to get into playing trumpet
*intense breathing*

I only have my right arm. I love it, I am not a professional. After 20 year at age 68, decided to start again from 0.
Trumpet all position right thank you very much ❤️👌👍🎵⭐⭐⭐🙏🌹
my own personal opinion would to have the right thumb in the middle of valve 1 and 2 and the fingers to play the trumpet to be pointed because it is a lot easier to push them down faster.
Thank you I learned so fast
Thank you so much.
Great tutorial.
Wow that's a nice trumpet
He was trying to flex
Thank you sir.
thank you
Oh man I used to play, I should get back into it
Best video I’ve found so far for a beginner!
How many hours do you recommend to practice per week?
Just really thank you so much this vid actually really helped me
starts at 3:00
Bravo! Excellent
Thank you very much! Best video ever, for a composer to know how to write for Trumpet1
The first like and comment in 2 years😆
thank you for making this lesson so comprehensive
For your left hand you can also place your turn finger in the hole it makes it easier to move it out and for marching it's better
I've always known that a Trumpet would be one of the harder instruments, your video is very good direction.
Id say its a bastard to learn I'll stick to me guitar
Good lesson! Thanks!
Really top quality vid, many thanks
Wow, what a great lesson thank you. I'm so excited to begin...( I'm a jazz guitarist..) Where can I buy your books??
Pearse
Its a lot better if you put your pinky on top of the pinky ring because it makes it so much easier to use the valves
That is a beautiful trumpet!
Very well explained to a newcomer
this is super cool and helpful thanx a million!!!
I prefer the ring finger for more controllability while playing the trumpet so if your playing a little sharp your can play a note in natural and pull the slide, it becomes flat
you explain so well. thank you 🙏

thanks a bunch.

I love your accent!
Your English is better than that spoken by many native speakers. I'm guessing you are Dutch or Swedish.
Subscribed, thanks!
Can u make a video on all the nites and what their names are please
In this video di you use a Bb trumpet or a C trumpet?
Imagine playing a giant paperclip
this comment was brought to you by the strings gang
jk thanks for the video, this is going to help me a lot

it comes on its own if you get the lip placemeny
What size mouth piece should a beginner start with?
Lol to hold it you place your finger on the "pinkie hook" and put you thumb in between the 1st and 2nd valve slides :P
When I blow i only hear hissing sound and air coming out the other way... It only started to do some sort of funny noise when I've "buzzed" my lips for like 2 seconds. Never could reproduce that again...

Good video buddy, are you dutch ?

Lowkey 900th sub
Oh, I see. I have been blowing in the wrong end !
Pressing valves does not change my tone. What is wrong with them ?
Hello man, i liked the detail you give in your lessons! what tone do you recomed i buy my firs trumpet if im starting? and which brand? thanks in advance!
Are you from Holland?

maybe ur not getting enuf oxygen to ur brain?
Old comment, got rid of the horn a while ago already, playing better now. Thanks for the concern.
How do trumpet can play all the notes with only three botton??
Coln Minato you can make different pitches just by changing your embouchure
Does anyone know what the song in the intro is
