How Trumpets Work (the BASICS)

From buzzing your lips to using only 3 valves for over 40 notes, this is a short introduction to how the trumpet works. Part of a Music Unpacked series exploring instruments of the orchestra and all the music questions you've always wanted to ask.

Wow it genuinely always puzzled me how trumpets only had 3 valves but it actually makes perfect sense now that I finally know its all done through embouchure! Great vid :)

Thanks for the comment! You can get about 9 notes with just your lips and the rest with the 3 valves.
