      Fantastic news! My very first trumpet student ever was an 80 year old beginner, who spent his whole life playing polkas on the drums. At least you have some brass playing experience. Good luck, keep in touch on the progress!

      Couldn't agree more. I'm a 38 year old musician who has always loved music but sometimes let's life get in the way. The bottom line for me is that I realized recently I can't be happy unless I'm practicing my instruments and making music on a regular basis.

    At 63 years old I just this minute played my first correct notes on a trumpet! Tried in high school but switched to flute in frustration. I am taking tenor sax lessons now. But still have a desire to learn other things.
    Thank you for making this video!
    BTW: The horn I'm messing with is a C.G.CONN 22B circa 1951 with a Bach 10C mouthpiece I found at the flea market. I can't get at the serial number to look up the exact year of manufacture because it has a custom leather cover over the valve bodies. I don't want to mess with that. I have a cornet that has an exactly identical bell engraving with a serial number that is from 1951. So I figured this horn must be close.

    I played French horn for decades - major symphony at age 22... Well, I moved on to other things in life and hadn't played a brass instrument in about 13 years. I realized that I REALLY missed playing a brass instrument, so what to do? I had an incredible range on French horn, so I said to myself, "Self, I want to play cornet!!" A year of Bb cornet (which I adore), I decided to get a trumpet. I got a very nice B&S Challenger II Bb silver trumpet (I liked the response and 'fatness' of the sound more than any Bach Strad models - a personal thing, for sure!)
    2.7 years later, I have a great coach and am totally loving trumpet.

      Good luck!! Biggest thing is that you focus on tone production first. Just play long notes every day for a while before trying to do much else. Everythint will be easier if you can make a consistent sound on notes from middle G up to C in the staff, and middle G down to C below the staff. I have a “second five notes” video that goes up to that C in the staff you can check out on my channel!

      Thank you! The trumpet is in the key of Bb, which means C on the trumpet, is Bb on the piano 🤯 - so if you’re looking at music in concert pitch (the key of piano), you have to read the notes up one whole step. The general rule is to read up a whole step, and add two sharps to the key signature. So the key of C (no sharps, no flats) in concert pitch, would become the key of D (two sharps) on the trumpet.

    Hey Adam, I noticed you didn’t move the valve tube thingy when playing D. Im 66 years old just starting the trumpet but have watched lots of videos and Im starting lessons this Thursday. So I don’t know a thing about it. I’ve been a guitarist for 55 years but always wanted to play a horn so here I go. Wish me luck brother!!! Thanks for the advice and video!!!!!!!

    Awesome explanation. Im a drummer/piano player/bass player who is picking up the trumpet. I realized on my own that at least for low notes, im not buzzing. The whole buzzing lips thing seems to be a bit of a misnomer and misleading. But then again, i barely know what im doing 😂This video was great though, and a very clear explanation.
