I played trumpet in middle school as late as 2001. My daughter is now playing alto sax in her high school band. Picked up a used trumpet just today so hopefully this can be a bonding experience for us.
The last year i was in our high school band was 1967. i just purchased a trumpet. Mother could not afford one so i played reed instruments that belonged to the school for 4 years. I'll be 73 on my birthday and was very happy to find your lessons now that I have my trumpet. Thank you Sir.....
Thank you!❤ Mr. Howie….. played my first G and C. I have been a guitar player for 50 years. Bought a brilliant 1955 King from a friend who didn’t know to play it. Lol😂. Came home and there you were on TH-cam making me feel at ease. You’re so right about the choice. I was going to take flute lessons……
I was always told that I have to start as a child to play an instrument so I never even tried. Thank you so much for this video! I think I got three of the notes, and I can’t wait to learn more!
that's the most bs i've ever heard. anyone can play an instrument at any age, those people are complete idiots. don't let that deter you from learning!
Cudos to you, you chose a challenging instrument. How's it going? I started guitar at about 20, piano at about 29, I'm 34 and have started trumpet, trumpet is quite challenging. I know people have that lie in their heads they need to start young, it's a lie. I also play drums and bass, don't intend on stopping learning
@@jarredgraffiti It is going okay- I’ve been playing a very easy version of fly me to the moon. Finding time to practice is hard but whenever I can I try to make the best of it!
@@selinbuyukcengiz6873 ok, well, welldone, I understand about time, but welldone for trying, don't give up. Some things you could try for a season are, wake up a bit earlier and spend time practicing, during your lunch break at work, and in the evening, stay inspired and motivated, watch vids, pray for God to show you a way.. Small gaps etc. Try to be consistent, some time everyday, or every few days, I pray for help for you
Common misconception, I started playing as a kid but there are studies that have shown that you can always develop your brain to read music. By the way that guy reminds me soooooo much of my old band director.
Thank you, sir, for your instruction. I am 70 years and have been a drummer most of my life. I can pick up my trumpet and get a C pretty much at will. I started trying to use it yesterday. Been interesting for sure and the basement comes in mighty handy. Will keep up the buzzing!!!
@@dontpanic9261 You went through the rudiments and now you are combining your lips, tongue. and fingers to make it go. I am still with it and learn something new every day.
I'm 63 and someone just gave me a trumpet in decent condition. I'm a long time trombone player so that helps a little. One of the hard things will be learning treble clef. It might also be hard to learn the fingering.
Adding another huge thank you. As an oldie who just picked back up trumpet and trombone for a show, this video has been invaluable already. Looking forward to more plus all the comments made me smile.
I've tried other lessons but yours is by far the most friendly and clearest of them all. It's clear that your experience teaching speaks for it self. Great teacher. Thank you.
I played in Jr High and was first trumpet. Now I'm retired and need a hobby. Got the g. Bought a used instrument fer 100 dolla. Found a place for lessons. Yeah!
I played tuba in high school and got pretty good at it. but that was over 25 years ago and I haven't touched one in about 15 years. An old friend from those band days (and accomplished music educator in the time since then, and virtuosic musician throughout his life) passed away last year and I started to realize how much I missed making music. So I bought myself a trumpet, an old Vega Odell I found on ebay for way less than it seems like it should have been priced and now comes the struggle of getting to the point that I can make music out of it. And that's where this video comes in. Thanks for making it.
still have my trumpet from marching band despite not touching it an almost a decade -- this is exactly what i needed to pick it back up!!! thank you so much!! im so excited to watch the rest of your lessons!
just got my first 2 notes sounded decent after watching many more videos, this video ended helping me a lot thanks for also sharing your website section "Fix a Low, Grumbling Sound", that helped me a lot
My son started lessons here in MD last Sunday (once a week). Your videos as a supplement during the week are a Godsend! What he couldn't "get" in class he is getting from your videos. Thank you!
Wowzers! I'm 71. I played the trumpet in band as a kid. First chair. Haven't kept it up all these years, but now in memory of my Dad, I regret never learning to play a couple tunes that he would play while sitting around the living room when i was little. Up a lazy River and the other one, to my surprise, the same tune you open up with here, by my dads favorite, Harry James. It's been a long, long , time. I've found some good links on TH-cam here and have gotten some sheet music copied, but am finding I need a good refresher in order to figure out the right notes. Just trying to read the music is proving impossible. So this lead me to finding your video here, where you open up with this very song. I will be looking around at what you have here. Sharps and flats. Time signature counts and so much that to my surprise alludes me. So like the title of your opening tune. IT'S BEEN A LONG LONG TIME! So cool.
Hello sir, i'm from south africa, i understood everything clearly, but we dont have band class at school, but i did find my great grandpas old trumpet after my father passed away, i wish to learn this specific one but i can't, since i don't have those extra holes in the center where you slid your thumb and ring finger into, so i don't know what to do, the mouth piece and everything else is the same though
Just subscribed. I grew up playing the French Horn, then the Tuba - yes, I made that switch for Marching Band, and of course the flugel horn and eventually the Trumpet my Jr and Sr year of High school jazz band. I really enjoyed playing the melody instead of Umpa, umpa. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I'm 45 now and haven't picked up a horn since 95. I can still play scales and such, but want to start over and that's how I found you. Thank you for easing me back into this.
Thank you! I’m a guitar player on day 1 with my new trumpet. I can do the low note pretty consistently but I’ve only gotten the high accidentally a few times. I’ll be tuning in for more lessons
I play low brass and I am trying to learn all instruments so far I have trombone, alto, tenor, and trumpet, but I main tuba. and used to play euphonium. thanks the video was great
When I started playing cello in middle school, I was put in the high level orchestra bc I could read music and play piano, and omg it was the best thing. Being surrounded by amazing musicians pushed me a lot, and I couldn't play everything, but that situation advanced me so much more than if I'd been in an easy group. It basically defined my high school years. Good luck to you. I hope you have the best time playing in your group!
As a clarinet player who is now attempting to learn the trumpet as well now.... thank for the video. But also clarinets are and will always be superior
I am also a clarinet attempting to learn trumpet. I have already tried learning saxophone. These tips are really helpful I also agree that clarinet is always superior
Im a clarinetist in my highschools marching band and ive wanted to do trumpet, and my brother was a trumpet player and quit band so I was able to get my hands on his trumpet, this will also help me later on because I want to be a band director
Thank you for these videos. I played Trumpet and I have talked my Grandson into playing. These will be very very helpful in teaching him (the correct way lol).
yeah I am a student and I just started about 2-5 days ago and wow!. before and after it is Amazing. and you are not boring or just don't put time into it like most of the people that I know do. you make it fun and it is just cool so keep on doing what you are doing and helping beginners out. I know this helped me so i hope it helps others as much as it did me I love you and you videos.🎺🎶💜💜💙💜💙❣💗💓💗💕
I am starting to get interested with learning wind instruments. I tried harmonica, but I want the basic brass sounds. Will buy myself a trumpet soon. New subscriber here!
I like your explanation. I have a 1960s OLDS cornet. I am a beginner. I cleaned cornet, dried and oiled all valves. Valves are correctly placed. There's no sound. What could it be? Could it still be wet?
Just watched the documentary of Louis Armstrong. Thinking of picking up the trumpet after 43 years of silence. Father was a music teacher and had his own music store and is an accomplished French hornest and writes music and played with symphonies and college bands and would like to surprise him. I got kicked out of band in eighth grade for changing the music. Often wondered how great I could’ve been . Now at age 57 I would like to see how good I can get with what years I have left.
Thank you for the tutorial I'm going onto highschool and planning on switching between 2 Instruments, Clarinet (What I've been playing for the past few years) for Concert Band, and now planning to play Trumpet as well for Marching Band It's gonna be difficult to play both a Woodwind and a Brass Instrument, but its worth a try, since I've always liked the sound of a Trumpet Also, thanks for the tutorial being really friendly! It helped out a lot more with that Thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you so much for this. I think it's making much more sense and had no idea that the notes would be different from the notes on piano, so this is important to know for sure, so thanks for pointing that out to us newbies, which looks like my kids and I are not alone. Well, we started over six months ago, and got sidetracked and our study and practice got moved from the backburner, to the sink. We are coming back as students, and hope we can progress now knowing what the notes are supposed to sound like. Thanks again.
I played in Jr HS 1959-62. Now in my mid '70's. Found my original horn, Getzen Super Deluxe s/n 110813. Was put away in original case and kept in back my clothing closet. Trumpet& case look nearly new. Will get horn professionally serviced to flush inside, sanitize, oil valves, lube slide, cleanup the original Bach 6C mouthpiece. Is it too late to relearn everything? How to read the notes, finger positions, playing scales, etc etc
Hello! I’m a beginning trumpet player and trying to blow a low C and a G but I think I’m getting a low B and F# for some reason?? What could I be doing wrong
I've been a clarinet for over 4 years yet always wanted to try out the trumpet (buzzing is so confusing coming from someone who just blows air)ig I'll see how it goes but thank you for this
Kitty kallen is the singer with Harry James on this song, I have it on a 78rpn and its an absolute joy. I am just about to start learning the trumpet and I thank you greatly for this video, the simplest explanation to begin I have found, especially about blow speed changing the notes, I look forward to following on more of your lessons, thank you for taking time to explain so easily, an enjoyable video that keeps interest from the beginning !
I have a question which, in concept, has to do with extending range. However it is not about extending range into top-C and beyond, but rather about getting a very young student to progress from F above bottom C to G. Do you have any suggestions on how to TEACH this please? I have been playing trumpet for about 45 years and have long since forgotten how I progressed from the first open note to the second. Recently I started teaching a young girl (8 years old) to play the trumpet. I play the trumpet at church each week and this led to the girl asking me to teach her. She can now get fairly decent sounds from C to F but cannot get to the G. I have tried to explain about tightening the muscles in the lips and about changing the position and shape of the tongue but this is all very theoretical and is not getting the success I am hoping for. I have tried getting her to whistle low and high sounds to get her to experience the changes in the lips and tongue, but she is very new to whistling as well and cannot vary her whistling. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get her from F to G?
I love this instrument since i was a kid, in that time my parents couldn't afford trumpet for me so they buy me a flute instead, but im okay with it because i know they working hard for my future, now im working as a store clerk and i can buy a used one from an old 87 old man with very good price , this thing a bit rusty but still good to use, now im here sitting in my porch watching tutorial and i hope i can Play at least 1 full song for my Mother birthday next year, wish me luck! Edit : sorry bad english, im from Indonesia 😅
Excellent video. I am an adult and will finally attempt to play the instrument that I so love to hear. Please let me know where a good source to purchase the instrument in the Washington DC or online area.
I've already learned how to play trhmpet from my mididle school band i was in. Im in 8th grade but o haven't been using my trumpet and i lost rhe skills i had last year when i was in band. Trying to relearn again and be good again :)
I am a tuba player, and I decided to learn how to play trumpet to prove to my band director that i am able to play this amazing instrument. Big switch, going from a giant mouthpiece to a small one.
As someone who played trombone, playing trumpet is difficult for me, especially since I have bigger lips. It's hard for me to buzz into the mouth piece at times
Today I played trumpet🎺practice for republic Day programme in my college And I realized how difficult it is but teacher told me that I am Improving and I will do better
I think I’ll sign up for your course. I just bought a dented Conn B with stuck valves for $20. All good now. I don’t have a lot of time. (66 years old) so I’d like to sign up for the 3 month LOUIS ARMSTRONG course if that’s doable 😁
Oh, that takes me back! My dad, Eric, "Johnny" Rodgers, rest his soul, played violin with the OSO up into his 90's. He died at 97 in 2001. (I saw the notice on the blackboard re. the OSO). I attended many of your performances. Now here am I in my early 80's taking out my old trumpet and looking for tips. Thank you!
I’m a beginner Trumpet student from south Korea. I just started my first practice with your video. I will study hard. Thank you.
I hope your practice is going really well!!! Wish you luck!!
Got my first trumpet yesterday at 53, just about to do the first lesson.
Same here - although I'm 62! After 50 years of guitar and double bass playing, I thought I'd have a go at this.
How is it going?
all the best! Hope it is going well for you!:)
starting at 47 today. my first horn/mouthpiece instrument. gonna have to get used to this C is really Bb.
I’m curious to know how it went or how it’s going for you.
Just purchased a trumpet haven’t played in 20+ years. I’m ready to start this journey thanks for this video

Great lesson Professor! As a sax teacher, I can lean on you to teach the kids who want to play trumpet.
Quick question. Where you teach do you teach only one instrument or half? Sorry if it’s stupid.

It's gonna be difficult to play both a Woodwind and a Brass Instrument, but its worth a try, since I've always liked the sound of a Trumpet
Also, thanks for the tutorial being really friendly! It helped out a lot more with that

Hi. Great tutorial. What book wd you recommend ???...possibly one w a DVD.
The mouthpiece remover😂😂 my teacher calls it the Medieval torture device. I mean... It looks like a medieval torture device.
6:30 must be the coolest guy,if my teacher knows him.
The best piece of advice there,thanks😅😅🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love this instrument since i was a kid, in that time my parents couldn't afford trumpet for me so they buy me a flute instead, but im okay with it because i know they working hard for my future, now im working as a store clerk and i can buy a used one from an old 87 old man with very good price , this thing a bit rusty but still good to use, now im here sitting in my porch watching tutorial and i hope i can Play at least 1 full song for my Mother birthday next year, wish me luck!

Thank you for posting this I just got my trumpet yesterday this is so helpful

Excellent video. I am an adult and will finally attempt to play the instrument that I so love to hear. Please let me know where a good source to purchase the instrument in the Washington DC or online area.
0:52 hmm, I play clarinet and flute lol, I just thought it might be cool if I learn trumpet 😅
To tysm for the vid I am doing band and the trumpet it helped me learn more again tysm
Hi, I'm from penticton and.I love hearing music.
I've already learned how to play trhmpet from my mididle school band i was in. Im in 8th grade but o haven't been using my trumpet and i lost rhe skills i had last year when i was in band. Trying to relearn again and be good again :)
I am a tuba player, and I decided to learn how to play trumpet to prove to my band director that i am able to play this amazing instrument. Big switch, going from a giant mouthpiece to a small one.
As someone who played trombone, playing trumpet is difficult for me, especially since I have bigger lips. It's hard for me to buzz into the mouth piece at times
I’m a trombone player picking up trumpet on the side so we can have a consistent trumpeter in our band, I understand this completely
Thank you for the lesson. You are an awesome teacher.
Very insightful.
🎉 woohoo ty! Took it out of my closet again, hopefully 🙏🏼 can play a proper tune this time ❤ I'm sure I will. Ty!

Greatly appreciated JIm
Thank you. Sir, could you please write me note by note the first song you have played in this video? Many thanks
whats the little snippet that you played in the first clip?
Great video! thank u so much!!
When you are 'buzzing' are you only blowing or also humming? Cause if I do both i buzz great, just blowing is not good
I think I’ll sign up for your course. I just bought a dented Conn B with stuck valves for $20. All good now. I don’t have a lot of time. (66 years old) so I’d like to sign up for the 3 month LOUIS ARMSTRONG course if that’s doable 😁
Does anyone know what song he is playing in the intro? I think it's from Up but not sure...
My vintage Windsor trumpet doesn't have a slide adjusting valve
I'm 51 and played all through elementary to high school.
I'm back baby❤!!
Oh, that takes me back! My dad, Eric, "Johnny" Rodgers, rest his soul, played violin with the OSO up into his 90's. He died at 97 in 2001. (I saw the notice on the blackboard re. the OSO). I attended many of your performances. Now here am I in my early 80's taking out my old trumpet and looking for tips. Thank you!
Good luck on your journey, and good on you for keeping up music! It's one thing that never goes away and keeps me going in hard times.
Can anybody pls tell what is the song he was playing in the beginning?
Thank you i need this cause my performance is coming up and i just want to learn more
