Learn trumpet in 30 days challenge
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- I decided to learn how to play the trumpet in 30 days and see how far I could go with the instrument. This is my first brass instrument ever so it has been quite an adventure! I have learned a lot of new things!
Also, I am well aware that the learning process of an instrument requires years of practice, and I do not claim at all to play perfectly the trumpet in 30 days, nor do I pretend that the instrument is easy to learn. It was rather a challenge for myself as a total newbie in the brass universe, to see where I can get in a limited amount of time.
All comments and advices are welcome!
Thanks for watching!

He’s doing better than some kids in my band class that have been playing for 2 years in 5 days
Well that could honestly be a result of a bad band director cuz kids in our band or freaks with music
Jonathan Breakfest band directors can’t force you to practice the can help you but if you don’t take your time to get better your not gonna improve
Better than some of the 3 year players for me, except for me of course
White Cheese it could honestly just be the instrument I played trombone for 7 years, I’m good enough to get into concert and symphonic band but that’s after years of experience and I absolutely hated playing it.
I played tenor sax and learned all the notes and scales and got the hang of it in like two weeks, and outperformed people who’d been playing for years. So yea I’d say liking the instrument and having the attitude is a really big part of it. And the band director too. I wasn’t allowed to touch any other instruments no matter how good I could play them while my old band director was still in charge. While my new director wasn’t the best with some forms of teaching, he encouraged me to play whatever instrument I wanted. And I liked him for that. My old director wanted me to get better at playing an instrument. While my new director wanted me to enjoy the music, and do what I wanted to do with it and supported and gave me advice. I learned lots of things from both directors, from my old director: I learned one way on how to practice an instrument and master it. From my new director I learned: playing new instruments, how music works and knowing how to appreciate. Both directors had their ways of teaching, I learned great things from both.
Same
Neighbors be like "that fart is starting to sound good"

Ohhh that made me laugh😂
jajajajajajajajaja
funny but bery gross
To all those who question his honesty regarding progress... I think it's not inconceivable that someone with a musical background could do this. The only thing I find beyond belief is his ability to practice an hour a day for the first week... I can't imagine the untrained embouchure having that kind of endurance. (Unless he's counting RUclips watching during that time!)
But however you did it, congratulations
Sébastien...I hope you're inspired to work towards being an accomplished player!
SolarSteveW I have done the same thing. In two weeks I could play a high e fairly well and can play along with my son in his trombone. I also practiced every day for at least an hour the first week. Basically till my mouth wouldn’t play for me anymore lol.
I did the same with a tenor sax with its low C stuck. It’s nothing unheard of
It's called splitting in throughout the day
His buzz on day one is already pretty solid, so I assume he doesn't strain so much as other beginners.
The first week I was learning trumpet I practiced for abt 3 hours a day or more. The first day was just buzzing lol
Putting this on a playlist I call "videos to show students who never practice"
I'd totally be one of those students...
😂😂😂
I want that list!
Can you share it to me when you're ready?
The lick was very well done. An essential for any instrument.
Actually, when referring to the famous pattern, it is written "The Licc", as the lick can signify any sort of short excerpt of music.
@@rougepilot5513 It's called "The Lick" and not "a lick" for a reason
nogfgoodnight it’s is The Licc actually
There can only be one hunter😡
@@nogfgoodnight People refer it as " the licc" to differentiate it from other licks.
It's clear this isn't this guy's first foray into playing music. Regardless, as a trumpet player of 30+ years, a band director of 20 years, this guy did a fantastic job in 30 days. I hope he's still going. Work on long tones to develop your tone, lip slurs to develop strength and flexibility in your embouchure, and Clarke Studies to develop finger and air control. Way to go Sebastien!
took me five years before i could hit a high C, and it took him 19 days
Bethany Hicks im in 8th grade and started in 6th and i’ve recently learned how to play
Olivia Beach she is talking about the c above the staff I could play a kinda high c in about 3 days
Bethany Hicks I feel like even though he got it out, it was very weak and the tone wasn’t that good. I developed good high c’s at around 3 years of playing.
That person i know which note she is talking about but to create a good quality sound you can’t hit a high C above the staff in 3 days it takes longer than that to learn a concert b flat scale
My 7th year playing, can finally hit a high D reliably, mega squeaky E. Give this guy like 3 months and he'll be at G, and squeezing up to a triple B soon. His tone needs work tho lmao
Bro his tone hurt me so bad but then I realized its better than some highschoolers
Not me L
Better than most
@@SoggySandwich80 that was a year ago....
To those lamenting their skills: I read that it can take several years of solid practice to fully develop your embouchure on brass instruments, so practice heaps and don't stress.
I am 50. Never played trumpet. Can slowly work out sheet music. But have been practising almost daily. Needed to take 5 days off due to catching covid.. I have not gotten as far as he has…. But I am making progress
Me: plays trumpet for a year, can’t go above a high D
This guy:
D in the staff?
Oh I thought you meant D above the staff and that's pretty high
ShiningLeopard27 kids in my class can go to like high b and they been playing since last year. I’m doo doo and can only go high f.
Do sirens on the mouthpiece, not only do they help increase your range but its also a relaxing way of learning the high register without much tension, if you do it right, but try not to tongue and use pure air to change the note, the appature will change naturally based on the air you use. My main instrument is Bass Trombone and i can reach up to a High D with a lot of efficient practice. Also remember to stay relaxed and not tense up or pinch your embouchure or throat, it will hurt and lead to bad sound as well
@Parker Hughes i still struggle and ive been at this for a few years lol
I remember when i was a beginner. I was the best in my class class and i thought i was hot stuff. But you learned extremely fast. What you did in 30 days, i did in about a year. Keep it up at and after a year, you’ll be trumpet playing monster.
If you managed to sound like that in 30 days, you could be Miles in 5 years. DO NOT STOP.
He adapted so well to the trumpet! And could play it so easily. I wish that would happen to me once I get my trumept
Thanks! Actually it really helps to learn an instrument while already knowing one, because there's a lot of things you're already familiar with, like musical notation, music theory, scales, ear training, etc. So you only have to focus on the instrument itself, which can make you learn quicker.
That's my expirience with learning the saxophone. I'm already a trumpet player, and having that previous musical knowlage and has really sped things up, just like a prestige in a video game.
@@SebMusicForLife, this is exactly what I was trying to explain to some posters above. When I started to learn I had no tutelage and could not read - I believe I would have benefitted immensely from knowledge of musical notation, music theory and scales. All I had was my ears, my trumpet and shedloads of desire. I am still on that journey and am now enjoying every moment of it. Your video is inspirational. Well done!
He did something in 30 days that I still can't do and I've been playing for almost a year
Great job man your truly amazing 🔥
You need to practice more lol
You r wack then
You do know is fake right? He obviously is a trumpet player
@@henrryalfaro2000 he doesn't sound like it....
Typical trumpet player right here who clearly doesn't practice ^
This is such a delight to see that someone can do this. I'm a band kid (have played flute for 4 years), and recently tried trumpet from a friend because I was curious if I could do it. Played from C-G within less than 10 minutes of learning how to play! Decided I wanted to genuinely learn more so I'm getting a trumpet tomorrow! This video made me feel hopeful, lol. Cheers!
Thanks! Keep up the good work! :)
how are you doing with the trumpet? you learned some songs?
Fun fact if u didn't know u can buzz in ur flute just take the topmost piece off first
I’ve been playing flute for 4 years too and just about to start learning the cornet
I feel like flute and trumpet would be similar with the skills needed to play different octaves. With that I’ve also never played trumpet, only clarinet and flute lmao
i’ve been playing for almost 5 years and he impressed me because he is doing better than some people in my trumpet section.
you started great off for just 30 days! You have potential, i'd reccomend you keep going! A bit more time and your sound will improve vastly!
don` t lie to him. To improve the sound he needs years.
@ that doesnt go for everyone. Some people are just talented. My brother picked up the french horn and learned to master it extremely quickly. within a year he was already performing Haydn's horn concerto on stage for a large audience.
Lots of practise and a very strong determination.
Dude. I have students that take months to sound this good. This just proves that daily practice and determination can get you there. Cool vid and nice to see the journey!
This was very impressive! Bravo! This is what motivation does to people who are determined to learn something. Many tend to quit once it gets difficult or too confusing but he pushed through all that and is playing better than most middle schoolers and high schoolers that have been “playing” for years.
Bravo once again!
Played trumpet professionally for 6 years before moving in to other things. I've taught dozens of students.
Dude! You did very well in thirty days. There is obviously work to be done. A good teacher would do wonders.
Did everyone cringe when they saw him stand it on its bell?
I promise this was the one and only time I did it, my teacher told me never to do it as well, and now I bought a tripod ;)
Meh I've done it a hundred times over the years.
Huh I’m concert band and we do it
As long as I'm with it (like setting it down between songs or whatever) I've done that with no issues since 1985. If I'm storing it like in a room sporadically I'll place it on a short tripod stand. All other scenarios it's in its case or gig bag.
I died a little inside
Im principal euphonium, trombone, and on the side trumpet. And I have to say man, thats amazing. It takes many a much longer time to even begin what you’ve accomplished in that period of time. Great work.
It took me over 2 years to play that E that he managed to play in 9 days
So jealous
SAME
I can’t tell if your kidding
That’s because it’s fake
I can also play the E after two weeks so it is possible.
2 YEARS!!! I PLAYED IT I JUST A FEW DAYS!
Been playing trumpet for 11 years and was really impressed by your evolution in just 30 days!
Mad lad, I’ve been playing for like 6-7 years and your pretty close to my skill set. Good job and keep it up
It took me sooooo long to reach that above G and this man did it in under a month. Not to mention the amazing tone quality he devloped. Way to go my guy! Ive been playing for about 6 years (not long) and you have already surpassed many trumpet players. Keep it up!
Supre encouraging. I have owned my trumpet for 5 years and can practice a scale/key of a song after 20 minutes. I don't practice regularly at all. I am changing all that. I am going to my first trumpet lesson tomorrow. Time for a human relationship and mentoring. You did well. I want to be able to record 3 part horn lines on my alto saxophone, trumpet and trombone.
Awesome! I am 53 and always wanted to learn trumpet… received my Jean Paul 430 yesterday. Your video is very inspiring!
Great job! Maybe Flute next?
I love you your the best flute player
@@pxss7660 *your're

J'ai commencé la trompette il y a moins d'une semaine. Je pensais être en difficulté sur l'apprentissage alors je suis venu sur RUclips et je suis tombé sur cette vidéo. ça me remonte le moral car je vois que je ne suis pas tant en difficulté que ça (J'ai pu jouer la gamme chromatique sur 3 octaves en quelques minutes). Merci pour cette vidéo que je trouve de surcroit très motivante. Voir les progrès de quelqu'un d'autre, c'est très inspirant !
As a trumpet player in highschool going on 4 years, I’m very impressed with how fast you learned to play this good. Good job🙏😂
Well done Sébastien. I admire your determination. Your approach to learning is good; most don't realise the importance of scales but they do enable you to play passages without having to read it all the time, which is what you are doing well. I have been playing trumpet now for 66 years, mostly professionally but I am still learning very day. Please continue playing.
After 1 month he plays just like I played after 3 years, because as kid I didn't really have a reason to play, so I was playing trumpet twice a week, most often 20 minutes before lesson. But the fourth year of my playing I got in to the school orchestra and realize, how bad after 3 years of playing I am. So I started to play every day and I improved my trumpet skills like never before. But the motivation was declining and after one year I played on trumpet just few times in a week. One day I was browsing the internet and discovered awe-inspiring trumpet plays, after hearing it I got the motivation again and this motivation keeps to me to this day.
And that's about it.
If you're playing on some musical instrument, you must have reason to play, have a motivaton and fixed goal. It's useless to press someone to play, when he doesn't want play, he won't play.
This is so awesome and inspiring! Found an old trumpet at a flee market, decided to give it some love and been teaching my self how to fix it and maintain it, now I just need to learn how to play it :)
Tip for any brass instrument. When ending s phrase or note, raise your eyebrow. It helps you not drop the pitch. I know it seems crazy but it actually works.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video because I bought a trombone off eBay about 3 months ago (at age 68), and I had similar progress. Although I play a few other instruments, this is my first brass instrument. Later on I'll probably get a trumpet, as I has already learned the fingering (and was watching yours so I knew which note you were playing).
For fun I also bought mouthpieces for a trumpet, French horn and tuba. The former two fit into the trombone, and I can play a few higher notes using these mouthpieces but can't go down as low. I'll need some kind of adapter to be able to couple the tuba mouthpiece with the trombone--I want to see how well I can play all the pedal tones.
You're doing well, and I'm sure you'll continue to learn more. I'm having a lot of fun with my trombone, and now taking lessons.
I've just started learning trumpet again recently, after someone gifted me a beaten up old horn. Took me about a month to work out that a 7C was no good for me. Took me a couple of months to work out what mouthpiece actually best suited me; ended up with a Yamaha 14B4. Took me about another month to work out my embouchure on my new mouthpiece. Took me another month to start learning and remembering my scales. Took me about a month to choose a new trumpet, have it arrive, and then another month relearn how to blow on this new trumpet, which is way easier than the battered up horn I was gifted in the beginning. LOOOOL
I am impressed ! I started on french horn in high school band in 1969. Then switched to Tuba the next year because we had no tubas for marching band that year. That got me into first year collage marching band with a scholarship. Then other things distracted me away from music for the next 15 years. Then I bought a trumpet on a whim and took private lessons for a year just for the fun of it. Then life intruded again and I stupidly sold my trumpet . Now, my middle school grandaughter got first chair trumpet in her high school marching band. So I bought me a new trumpet and I'm trying to relearn. So I am impressed with this video .
This method must be extraordinary. I studied the trumpet for many years, training 4 hours a day, and even today I can't play the Carnival of Venesa well. Congratulations
You should probably try a new instrument then my man
Venessa 😂
Or maybe a new song...
Milton de Rezende you shouldn’t judge your skill based off one piece. Also, pin point why you can’t play it. Can you not double or triple tongue as good as you need to? Can you not finger the notes fast enough?
@@ColinMroczko
Dear friend. When learning any instrument, there is no cake formula. We have to study for years and years to acquire some skill. I know there are 10-year-olds who can play Beethoven's violin concert, but that is a case in a billion people. What I said in my comment is not a criticism but a reality. With a trumpet month you can't even play gingle bells.
I played years ago in school band. I had a old Bach Stat made in 1960.I’m 68 and want to start again.I got really good at it years ago.

Did he just play the lick?
He did
Indeed
Yes. Yes he did
A 0/1 Frog with Taunt lol ya
the licc
I've been at it 15+ years now.
I will say your improvement is very impressive - well done!
Focus on that embrochure and keep the air flowing!
Been playing for over 30 years and I’m still learning brother...
dizzy said trumpet gets harder every day
michael It is one of the most rewarding and yet unforgiving instruments ha!
Still can’t hit triple g I want to die
Keyboard Cat Perfectly reasonable!
I find playing trumpet by yourself helps you learn alot
Dang, this is amazing, I know it's an older video but still. He has better tone and range than some people I know who have played for years. His range in 30 days is better than my range for my first 7 years of playing. Amazing work.
Wow it was very interesting to watch your insane progress! As someone who's been playing brass for 2 years I've never someone improve so fast, I guess this just goes to show the power of practice.
Sebastian, that was super for what you did in 30 days. I just picked up a trumpet and want to learn it so I can play with my grandson.
Your 30 days are better than my 2 years playing in the trumpet
I know i'm 2 years late here but I am so proud of you. You learned more in 5 days then my 6th grade class in 5 weeks
Oh my gosh you’re just like me, wanting to learn all the instruments 😂
Very impressive, well done! Keep at it 💪
For everyone complaining about how he learned some apparently difficult things in a relatively short time, let that be a reminder to you to practice diligently
This is the motivation I NEEEDED! Doing my first lesson today. Teaching myself.
Your progress is amazing. I have played for decades and only recently I stumbled across the PROPER MENTAL IMAGE for playing high notes. It is NOT that "playing a low C is like throwing a ball 5 meters, and playing a high C is like throwing it 50 meters." The PROPER MENTAL IMAGE is "playing a low C is like throwing a ball into a pool, and playing a high C is like throwing it into a basketball net." You played a high C once. OK you have it in you. Now find your way back to it. It is about experience and experimenting. And body awareness. And to do the necessery experimenting you need endurance. And that comes with practice. And to make sure your lips get the circulation of blood needed try to reduce pressure. (And returning to that mental image: hitting the net on a free throw is a good thing. But hitting it during a match is what you strive for. And free throw = étude, match = music.)
Truly unbelievable, and that progress chart--also unbelievable. The whole thing is unbelievable. The comments? They are unbelievable, too. Not a single comment suggesting that the posting is unbelievable. Beginners, if you want to sound like you have practiced graduated lessons for one to two hours in two or three segments each day, then you must do exactly that under the guidance of a very good teacher.
Sebastien: learns trumpet in 30 days
me who's been playing trumpet for 8 years:
Really good tone on that first run of God Save the Queen, I’m impressed.
This was actually quite impressing! I think you ve got talent for this!
I've played thr trumpet 14 years and still struggle with the high c.
Great job! 👍
I’ve played for 4 years and I’m close to a double c. Lip slurs work wonders my friend, and long tones, and a good warmup is a good start to it all.
Joseph_Runs definitely. When I started doing lip slurs consistently I became a much better player.
Great video! I really needed this! After maybe ten hours of trying and failing to get much more than a fart out of my trumpet, I was losing faith that I'd ever improve. Your video showing your steady progress has inspired me! I've realised that I AM improving, but I was just being impatient and expecting too much of myself in such a short space of time. Keep up the good work! :)
I've been playing trumpet for almost 8 years now, and what you've done is genuinely impressive. I have no words. Seriously amazing. Most people in the high school band I'm in can't play more than a G above the staff, like you just learned to do in a few days. Really cool.
I thought this was one of the most inspirational videos I've ever seen. It's amazing what a person can do when they put their mind to it.
I read, somewhere below, a thread about the question does previous experience on another instrument help.
Absolutely. After spending years learning one instrument, what mistakes did I make on the first instrument, and what will I do differently this time. Before buying one and plinking around on it, the previous experience will let a person plan another instrument's journey.
Does playing an unrelated instrument help? It sure does. I'm beginning to learn my fourth instrument, Vibraphone.
First was Drums, which helped learn the second instrument, the Flute, because of a firm rhythmic foundation. The third instrument, Saxophone, was made easier because of the fingering similarity to the Flute.
Now on my fourth instrument, Vibraphone, I have the opportunity to think back to all the mistakes I made, like getting out in front of myself and having to re-visit the basics years later.
Not using a metronome from the start. Not playing slow when learning new movements. Not focusing on the glitch points, as I heard in this video when he played his scales. Not playing legato on the flute and Sax. Dismissing the value of learning theory as I did on the flute.
Now, on the Vibraphone, I'm starting with just the mallets learning to hold and manipulate two mallets in each hand. Starting with the weak side first. Ah yes! Experience from the drumming journey. Next, I will move to the strong side and a mallet instrument practice pad until I can play thirds and sevenths in the left hand over a 12 bar blues. Then, I will add in some coordinated independence by adding the flat 7 in the right hand. Simultaneously I will be working on major scales starting with Gb and working toward the easiest but, I won't spend too much time on scales. Only enough to learn which hand to start on and how not to get tangled up. Almost immediately, I will learn melodies. Bags Groove to start.
I'd love to hear from multiple instrument players that have some wisdom to add.
That is very impressive for only 30 days. You should keep going. I have been playing for 12 years and it is one of the most rewarding things in my life. You should show us your progress after a year.
Everyone complaining about him being able to hit the high notes but no one talking about the amount of power and pressure he uses instead of air. Yeah he can hit them but his lips will probably hurt and it doesn't sound good at all.
He is learning tho. Doing it on your own and figuring that stuff is the best way to learn.
@@jonasmcclain2134 that's not true. You'll never leave the phase of unconscious incompetence, because you have nobody to direct your attention to mistakes that you don't even notice.

@@aladdinvonrabat183 how do you explain self taught musicans then?
@@jonasmcclain2134 only a handful of self taught musicians actually accomplish something. Most of self taught musicians stop after 2 days cuz it sucks.
I’ve played trumpet for about a decade, and I can definitely say that’s impressive for 30 days! I’m sure you’re 🔥 now!
I think you should get a round of applause for having the determination and practice discipline to hammer after it for 30 days straight. I like people who are willing to take on the challenge of things that seem impossible.
congratulations my friend, that just shows what one can do with a little dicipline and a whole lot of determination......well done!!
This is fantastic. I am learning the bass guitar in a month at the moment but want to learn trumpet next. Great work
World's apart but I hope you smash it man. I tried trumpet a few years back, as easy as he makes it look - it's a lot harder than it look, but do your ting man!
@what can you learn in a month, I love trumpet and I completely recommend it. Don’t expect to progress as fast as this guy did it is very fish the amount of time he put in and what he got back which is very fishy. I have been playing for 5 years and I’m the solo jazz chair for the state of North Carolina in high school. It takes a lot of work but the trumpet can be an amazing and beautiful instrument but all you need is the time.good luck on your journey as a trumpet player in the future and don’t let this guy discourage you because everyone has their own pace. Good luck.
I think you're doing great. And it's a good inspiration for people that's been struggling
Don’t practice buzzing into a mouthpiece. In a mouthpiece you force the buzzing. In the horn it’s just air flow. College professor showed me why buzzing into a mouthpiece is negatively affecting people’s playing. Insert the mouthpiece in horn and play g in staff then pull horn away while you continue trying to play a g on the mouthpiece. You’ll notice you’re not buzzing but the airflow and instrument causes your lips to vibrate. Creates better sound further down the road.
I practiced this very philosophy for years and it really depends on your level of development and the actual anatomy of the player. My playing actually got better once i reintroduced buzzing and rim buzzing back into my daily routine.
Actually, my teacher and I have worked on buzzing properly for the better part of 6 months and I've seen a huge improvement in my playing. The key is not just buzzing through your mouthpiece but having a proper sound that doesn't sound forced when you buzz. If you're forcing the buzzing on the mouthpiece, chances are that you're doing that on the horn too, so not buzzing won't exactly help or not help. Once you learn how get a good sound on the mouthpiece, that'll transfer over to the horn.
Let me preface that this is friendly chat not trying to argue. Try this for me the next time you all pull out your horn. Before warming up just insert the mouthpiece and don’t turn it to keep it tight in the horn otherwise you won’t be able to do this. Play an easy and relaxed g in the staff holding the mouthpiece with your right. Pull the horn away from the mouthpiece, if you’re buzz stops and turns into a stream of air then you’re really not buzzing as you play. You just think you are. If you continue buzzing into the mouthpiece as you pull the horn away then you’re forcing your lips to make a sound rather than using your airstream and corners to allow the lips to buzz by simply blowing air through the horn. This is why beginners have a very tubular and stiff sound by forcing their lip to vibrate. Let me know what happens.
I'll go with that. Been playing 66 years now, mostly professionally i.e. I got paid for it unlike now it's all for charity.
It’s controversial and I’ve had mixed results with it. For me, it has helped a lot in getting a centered and resonant sound when it feels like I can’t quite get the notes to sit in the right place on the horn. However, there’s a lot more tension involved in playing the mouthpiece than the trumpet itself, so you don’t want to focus on it too much.
This guy has laser focus. It absolutely is possible if you believe in yourself and stay focused. Thanks for the inspo. Im on day 7. And have only learned three “intros”
Better tone than some of the ppl I’ve been playing with for 5+ years.... not bad at all man
After 25 years I am getting my first trumpet tomorrow I will try this Sebastien's method. Bro you have a method.... well done in 30 days.
This was brilliant, and I intend to apply the same to Clarinet. Thanks man, now I know it can be done! 👍 And well done by the way 👏
Thanks for your comment! With consistent practice and dedication everything is possible! :)
This is the encouragement beginners need to force themselves to get started. Thanks!
Don’t forget your third valve slide when hitting a D. You could also stick out your tuning valve out a little! You are doing great!
tuning slide lol not tuning valve haha
Thank you - I am doing the same thing. 1 month (Feb 12-Mar 12, 2020), I am praying a lot to for the Holy Spirit to teach me and help me get my 'lips' shaped for each note - hi C is not consistent yet, but can play Happy Birthday, Holy Holy, Taps, UP/Down scale C-B. thanks, I am 59 yr old teacher (played piano Jr. High) This was a great idea for you to post. You helped me a lot on the 'one-hand' changing only lips for C-G-C. I will work on that this week. As an athlete, playing 5 different sports - 3 different in college and coaching volleyball (we won state 1st Yaaauuh!) And then learning golf - ugh - in my 40's, I know to 'try' and make my body -a machine- to move the ball. So I do the same in learning the Trumpet - I make my lips with a vision on the low notes a Tuba Mouth, and on the mid notes a Sax/Clarinet Mouth, and on the high notes, I envision the oboe/flute lips-small and smaller lip opening with a greater burst of air. I do practice 1 hour a day (kind of getting addicted now) and as in piano, warmup on the arpeggios-basic notes. Lips, face muscles getting stronger, and air, learning better air flow as I use for singing. Finally found the hi C, D, and E for only a few seconds yesterday. I like this instrument b/c it is so portable, unlike a keyboard/piano! I also learn by 'watching' and this link is Alison Balson an international Trumpet Player, using 'plastic' for the first time. ruclips.net/video/NLAHSgZaMU0/видео.html
“Almost at high c” plays E above the staff
Haha ikr
Coming from a grade one coronet player, this man genuinely sounds better in 5 days than some kids in my school that have been playing for years,
Your a natural! Nice Job! The sad thing is you are better than half the trumpets in my high school band!
😬
Although now that I think about it, it might be somewhat true for my school but mostly not still
As a trumpet who knows most of this stuff can say he is doing well to becoming a very good trumpet. It is surprising how much you have learned
Congratulations! It´s a hard work.
It's actually very great and interesting to try a new instrument with no basics, but with sheer determination to learn at least something.
Started playing clarinet just like this (while I'm actually a pianist with a smaller guitar background), got to the point of at least not awkward and emotional enough playing, now practicing the saxophone.
So endearing to watch people trying to grasp music at various angles.
Always keep both hands on the instrument,
And your fingers on the valves even when you aren’t pressing them! This should make it easier for you to become a better trumpet player! 😉
Found this video to help my kids explore and choose an instrument to start playing. What an inspiration this is! My kids now see the possibilities! Very well done!
kick out the third valve slide so a D can come out only like an inch
fresh doggo that does not sound right😂
@@csharp4118 tis correct
I just got my trumpet for Christmas. This is very encouraging. Thanks for posting this up.
This needs more views!
Brilliant... I got a Vincent Bach for £60 a couple of years ago and never tried to learn it. You have inspired me 100%
Very impressive. The first month of 6th grade band nobody knew what they were doing lol. We all sounded horrible at the beginning. By the end of the month we could do a few songs but still very messy and uncoordinated.
Thank you so much, you have fueld up my determination to learning to play trumpet well, and my motivation is to be able to play for God's Glory in church or wherever nedded. You have inspired me to go and practice with a fresh look at the possibilities and obtain great result in just 30 days! God bless you abundantly!
I’m sure you’ve found this out by now, but I suggest not pulling your fingers so far away from the valves when playing, just a good habit to start doing
I got an old Trumpet made in Paris France for $5 at a garage sale. Seems to work pretty good! This video really makes me want to try and play it every day for an hour! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice, today I started learning the trumpet and thats just what i needed to see! I loved your progress, what trumpet do you use?
Cheers from Bulgaria
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad that you found the motivation with my video, keep up the good work! And my trumpet is a Alysee TR-6333, I got it from eBay :)
Challenge yourself. That's what it's about. It takes practice and doing the right things. I've been playing from age 16, off and on, with breaks the longest being about 25 years. With a tutor, RUclips tutorials, correct techniques and consistent and focussed practice in less than a year I've getting to a point where I'm confident and competent and comfortable about my playing.
Very inspiring mate,cheers
Bravo! You are a quick learner. I assume by now you must be excellent. I did the same thing only with an alto saxophone. Five years later, and it's really coming together. I just picked up a '55 Olds Ambassador Trumpet. Seeing as I can service my own sax, I decided to refurbish this trumpet. These things are made like a tank. Many trumpet players seek them out. I hope to have it perfect in about another month.
okay, so what can i say? maybe this: thank you for destroying all my dreams! i have been playing the trumpet now for some 1 1/2 years, and i am far from what you are able to do on the trumpet. so maybe i better stop. now i see what is possible when you have got talent. i obviously don't have it. keep going! you are incredibly gifted. you can become a great player!
He practiced for hours and for many days straight, if you do the same it’s only a matter of time for you to be just amazing! Don’t give up hope! I’ve been playing for 5 years now and I just started actually giving a crap last year and started practicing, I went from barely being able to play a high E on the staff all the way to now being able to play a double E above the staff. If you try you can do beautiful things.
@@movmov9327 thank you for your kind words! and don't worry, i won't give up! i will try even harder!
I’ve been playing clarinet for almost 9 years now, and wanted to learn something new, so today my pocket trumpet just came in :D it’s definitely not the best quality and quite cheap, but hearing your day one made me confident that I can learn it. My problem right now is that I’m so used to playing the clarinet that I keep trying to blow instead of buzz my lips lol
took me 3 years before i could confidently play a high C and he did it in 19 days
