Learning the Trumpet
In learning how to play the trumpet, the “embouchure” ie the use of the lips, mouth and jaw is all-important, as is the force and method by which you move air through the instrument. By varying these skills and mastering the valves and the different valve combinations, you will be well on your way to learning this difficult instrument.As with all instruments, practice, practice, practice is all important, as is not trying to master too much too soon. Practice on your own (preferably when everyone is out of the house!!) and pracice using music that you like and which interests you!!
