You are the first person that I have come across that has made the most sense with clearer instructions of how to produce noise out of the trumpet instead of farting noises.
I started learning trumpet 40 years ago, just recently picked it up again, I'm in awe of the way we would just dump spit anywhere, share trumpets, winding it up back there, now my music mechanic won't even touch my trumpet for 72 hours.
After a year of lessons...giving up...then 5 years of wanting to start again...then I pick the thing up again...then found this video...and MAN this is instruction and info I wish I'd had years ago! Thank you, sir!
I am surprised at any negative comments. A student needs to understand the concept of what the mouthpiece does and how important it is to master the lip placement. This class is aimed at a specific audience and personally I think it’s well presented.
Christopher, I'm a NEWBIE at computers. Retired from the military (52 years old) and am using the GI Bill to turn the Associates that I got at Colby Community College (Colby, Kansas) 25 years ago into a Masters so that I can become a history teacher at a small community college "somewhere." I bought a trumpet so that I can learn how to play taps. The way that it is commonly done with the fake trumpets because of the shortage of trumpet/bugle players just isn't the same. I've been trying to teach myself how to play. I had a few starter lessons from a high-school teacher, but that's it. I just found your lessons today & watched the first one. I am EXTREMELY happy that I did. Your lesson about how to strengthen the mouth muscles (which I hope can still be done at 52 years) and practicing with the mouthpiece/straw are greatly appreciated. I wrote down your name so that I can find my way back to your lessons and learn more. I'm pretty sure that you understand. Picture yourself at a funeral at the time of "taps." In my own eyes it is a special, emotional moment. I want to get good enough that I add to that moment, rather than take away from it. William Dill wedill@mail.fhsu.edu 785-567-3162
William, I've been thinking about the same thing. While on active duty I participated in many funeral details. The boom box behind a tomb stone just doesn't get it done. Are you doing trumpet or bugle???
Hi, yes you can train yourself to do this, you have lips and lungs like everyone else. I am 59 yrs old and purchased a b Trumpet for Valentines Day 2020 - I can play taps now. My other 2 uncles still living (77 yrs and 82 yrs) were in the Navy (my other uncle was but he died in 2019 at age 93). These uncles are my Mom's brothers! I want to play at their funerals to honor their Naval Service! I am using a mouthpiece 7C I heard that for beginners, since we have weak lip/mouth muscles a 5C make it easier (have not tried this yet). However, the high register notes are soooo hard for me. I have a high C, D, E, but they are NOT consistent. So I re-arranged my Taps music to C-F-A-C and I like it better than D-G-B-D. Day by day, just like high school and college kids learn, we adults can learn too!! (I did study piano while I was in Jr. High, so I can read music, which helps-a little). I can also play Happy Birthday! You can find music on www.Notes8.com some free, or $20/annual membership to print all you want. Check out his GoPro Cam on a Trumpet-Marching Band-Go Nebraska! I get really out of breath too on the high notes as they take so much more air, and my muscles hurt too. ua-cam.com/video/GmN2Swd9-Tk/v-deo.html
This lesson is excellent. I'm a first year band/music teacher and French hornist just finding your videos, and this has given me a lot of insight about what I am doing and what I need to add and/or change about my current approach! I really appreciate how you are able to be technical yet simple with young kids when it comes to sound concept. That helps me so much. Thank you for sharing this!
The bit about the teeth, illustrated with the straw, is gold. I’ve heard students told to “drop their jaw” before but never realized that getting the teeth apart was at least part of the reason for it.
Such a great beginner lesson - I am 59 year old driving instructor, and want to learn this instrument. Just got a new Mendini yesterday. The 'straw' and 'solo mouthpiece' steps are so helpful! Ready to 'workout'! Thanks Mr. Music Man! I love Music teachers that help all these young students become awesome marching band members!!
I have watched so many videos in the past few days on how to learn how to buzz and these videos were all made by professional trumpet players and within 5 minutes of YOUR video, I finally understood how the lips and teeth should be. Amazing how much difference there is in the instructor. You're amazing, bud! I don't have my trumpet yet, it's being shipped, but with your small video I can now make higher pitched buzzes with my lips where I was only able to make lower ones before. BTW, I did play French Horn as a kid. And I remember it was EASIER to buzz in those mouthpieces than a trumpet mouthpiece. Maybe because the French Horn is a lower pitched instrument and you can even make some bass sounds from it. So the higher pitched trumpet is more of a challenge.
Thank you for such a great teaching video. I played the violin until my Freshman year of HS was very good at it but started to lose interest when I saw my friends who were band members having a lot more fun than I was with marching at football games and stage band opportunities a string player didn’t have 50 years ago so the summer after my Freshman year I talked the band teacher into letting me borrow a tenor saxophone over the summer with the agreement I could have a spot in the HS bank if I could play that saxophone to her satisfaction so when school started I auditioned for my spot in the band and was accepted, loved playing the saxophone but continued playing the violin for the first two years of college because I was offered a tuition scholarship and money was tight but soon the music department at college learned of my music abilities and that I also could play the clarinet along with the saxophone so I got another scholarship offer to play the clarinet which was not my favorite but my saxophone abilities earned me a spot on the college jazz band which I played with until graduation. I enjoyed my music playing years very much but after college marriage and family and new career got in the way of my music and I stopped playing sad to say but I always thought I would pick it up again when I was older. Unfortunately health issues got in the way and at age 48 I had a massive stroke and lost the use of my left side but the music urge was still there so I decided I would try once again to teach myself to play another instrument so I chose the trumpet since it could be played with using only one hand and I still had one hand that worked as it should. So bought a student horn and went to work only to learn it wasn’t as easy for me as it was 50 years ago but being retired now I have time to work at it. I’m making progress but needed to watch and read anything I could find about learning to play the trumpet so finding videos like yours were a welcome find for me. I recently lost my father and the bugler at his military funeral service was a recording which I thought disrespectful so now I’m trying to get good enough to volunteer at the local national cemetery to play taps the way it should be. I have a ways to go but I intend to do it to honor my father and his service
I like your style of teaching the hardcore basics good solid ground work on the important foundations. Just like guitar, every body want to sound like this or that. When they need to change a style they had no foundation to refer to. txs
FINALLY...someone tells me how to make my oogly expression look ghoulish. All kidding aside, thank you for explaining exactly HOW to form my lips to play. I started on a Harbor Freight Bugle, bought a student trumpet at a pawn shop, hung up my bugle, my grandson brought his Trombone up here, so I'm squeezing a few notes out of Trumpet and Trombone. I love 40's swing music. Carpal tunnel surgery screwed up my guitar playing, so I figured, try playing a horn. I'll be 70 in another month.
Best beginner vid I have seen so far. Could not buzz at first, but on a 1hr ride to town magic happened. Can buzz to the radio now. Gotta get a mouthpiece next after this weird facial feeling subsides. Thx!!
How is it going so far? It's harder to make a clean note than I imagined. And I never knew you could play a song without hitting any buttons, just from blowing different sounds from your mouth. That was surprising.
I'm glad I found your video!! I'm in the American Legion honor guard. I'll be 60 in a few weeks, and I never thought about learning the bugle, but I'm bound and determined to learn😁. I have been using the bugle with the recording in it, and I'm not satisfied doing that. A bugle player in another post has let me borrow his bugle to practice with
one thing i think is also important that he didnt touch on, have firm and supporting corners on your lips. The inside/center of your lips should be loose and relaxed to buzz
Hello, what exercises do you recommend to achieve the high-pitched notes of the trumpet, I have done everything and they don't come out ... that's why I can't basically play anything.
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?
first thank you for your much appreciated im not getting the buzzing im more like hyperventilating do you use your voice to make the noise or just wind or blowing air
I was a tuba player back in school, haven’t played since… I always wanted to play trumpet, picked one up recently and I’m having trouble getting the buzz through the small mouth piece

Thanks a lot Walter for these helpful videos, going to grab my old Besson and Cuesnon flugelhorns. I have 1.5 to 3 CFL mouthpieces, what size is best ? Regards Marc
Christopher Walter Great video! Wow I did not know that the mouthpiece was the instrument and the horn the modifier. Thanks for the info!! And thanks even more for slowly putting them together to hear the difference! I 'm new and I have seen both people play with "a kind of no lip" and "farting noises" and get good sound out of them. Who's right? Both?
When you do your lip clamps you said it takes you about 12 minutes to fatigue, that's a loooong time! Are you clamping full strength, continually, that entire time?
Hi! I'm looking into starting to play the trumpet and I've never used an air instrument before. It's full on a first time for me and I'm a bit skittish about investing in something I don't know if I'm going to properly like, as at the moment, all I know is I like the concept of it: would you say it'd be a bad idea to buy the mouthpiece alone, to try if I can do it? If it sticks and I get this exercise right, maybe then I can rent the instrument locally.
Great video! I’m sure this helps a lot of your students. What to do if my attempt at buzzing just causes the lips to part and air to whisper through without a buzz at all?
If your tone is pinched or nasally there are a couple things to think about: First, make sure you teeth are apart about the width of a pencil or straw. Having your teeth too close together inhibits the air flow. Second, your throat is closed and tense. Lay on the floor, but your hands behind your head and practice breathing long deep breaths. Look into the breathing gym exercises buy stay away from ones that make you practice tension. I am not a fan of those. Another great way to open the throat up is to sing nice low, mellow tones. Think about the FEELING of the throat being open and try to emulate that on your trumpet. Lastly, and again this is air related - your blowing from your throat or head instead of your diaphragm. Again, breathing exercises to get the feeling of deep full breaths. Start on your mouthpiece for a while and get your mouthpiece buzz to sound full and resonate. Then move to the horn.
dang! this is tough! no vibration. is there moisture around the lips? when i do make a sound- it sounds like prrfft. tongue btwn lips making a frt sound 😮 it's easier for me to make a kazoo sound with my vocal chords and pursed lips. if that is how to do it- now i'm in business!
PespiCorp not to disrespect Chris, but I disagree with basically everything in this video. In my experience, clamping, mouthpiece buzzing, blowing hard, and playing long tones as much as you can all work together to trash your facial muscles and destroy your embouchure's sensitivity. The tissue of the lips is very delicate and I've gotten better results treating playing as a skill, like whistling , rather than a feat of strength. Just don't exhaust your muscles or press the mouthpiece into the lips and you'll get better as long as you practice experimentally.
Matthew Rodriguez i get what you mean but i think chris is just trying to really simplify it for younger kids, but yeah once people get older theyll adapt to what you are saying
To preface this I am a high school trumpet player so i have no degree and have no professional experience But, I would disagree with what you said about trying to play on the mouthpiece more than the trumpet. I agree that the horn is just an amplifier for the mouthpiece but in a concert you are playing the trumpet and so you need to familiarize yourself with how the horn works. Also the mouthpiece works quite differently than the horn because of backpressure and such so you are developing a habit for the mouthpiece and not the horn.
Thanks for your comment. First - this video is meant for beginners, not seasoned HS students. However, I would agrue that spending time with a piano and your mouthpiece would do wonders for your playing. Many times we are simply letting the trumpet find the pitch rather than teaching the lips and oral cavity to resonate at the correct frequency for all the notes in your range. I would also agree with you that the mouthpiece alone does not simulate back pressure. For this I would recommend a BERP or even better a lead pipe only off an old trumpet. You can purchase these BTW. I do not feel mouthpiece buzzing is the end all, it has its benefits, particularly for beginners. I would challenge you to practice with your mouthpiece only and match some pitches on tbe piano if you have not done with before. You will find your accuracy and intonation will improve over time. All the Best, Chris
@@christopherwalter1825 I agree with what you said and totally understood/understand that this video was for beginners, i just wanted to throw my own 2 cents.
You are the first person that I have come across that has made the most sense with clearer instructions of how to produce noise out of the trumpet instead of farting noises.
exactly! he gave actually physical instructions. everyone else is so vague
I think its cause hes a teacher for a school

Hello starting my first lesson.
No. The mouthpiece is NOT the instrument. The instrument is the mouthpiece PLUS the trumpet.

Hello, thank you for all these tips! Can you please someone confirm if all these apply to playing a BUGLE too (lip placement etc.)?
Have you taken a minute to try it and see? Nothing beats trial and error there.

Anthony Lenzo the corners of your mouth should be firm, but the insides/center of your lips should be loose and buzzing

In my experience, clamping, mouthpiece buzzing, blowing hard, and playing long tones as much as you can all work together to trash your facial muscles and destroy your embouchure's sensitivity. The tissue of the lips is very delicate and I've gotten better results treating playing as a skill, like whistling , rather than a feat of strength. Just don't exhaust your muscles or press the mouthpiece into the lips and you'll get better as long as you practice experimentally.
PespiCorp me too
PespiCorp i slightly lick my lips, before i play high notes id rather my lips be a little dryer
Matthew Rodriguez i get what you mean but i think chris is just trying to really simplify it for younger kids, but yeah once people get older theyll adapt to what you are saying
To preface this I am a high school trumpet player so i have no degree and have no professional experience
But, I would disagree with what you said about trying to play on the mouthpiece more than the trumpet. I agree that the horn is just an amplifier for the mouthpiece but in a concert you are playing the trumpet and so you need to familiarize yourself with how the horn works. Also the mouthpiece works quite differently than the horn because of backpressure and such so you are developing a habit for the mouthpiece and not the horn.
Thanks for your comment.
First - this video is meant for beginners, not seasoned HS students. However, I would agrue that spending time with a piano and your mouthpiece would do wonders for your playing. Many times we are simply letting the trumpet find the pitch rather than teaching the lips and oral cavity to resonate at the correct frequency for all the notes in your range.
I would also agree with you that the mouthpiece alone does not simulate back pressure. For this I would recommend a BERP or even better a lead pipe only off an old trumpet. You can purchase these BTW.
I do not feel mouthpiece buzzing is the end all, it has its benefits, particularly for beginners. I would challenge you to practice with your mouthpiece only and match some pitches on tbe piano if you have not done with before. You will find your accuracy and intonation will improve over time.
All the Best,
Chris
@@christopherwalter1825 I agree with what you said and totally understood/understand that this video was for beginners, i just wanted to throw my own 2 cents.
