I Will Teach You To Play Trumpet!

Posted by sorohanro - July 18th, 2020


For quite a while I had the idea to make these video tutorials, been teaching with the materials I wrote for almost 10 years already, so, why not use them in videos?

This is a post where I'll put all of the tutorials, for reference.


Lesson 1

Sound emission, playing middle C (actual sound is a B♭ on a B♭ Trumpet) and first melody; "Rock the Blues".



Lesson 2

Holding correctly the instrument, playing middle D (actual sound is a C on a B♭ Trumpet) and second melody using the two notes; "Brassically Funk!".



Lesson 3

Playing a new note, B and a new reggae melody; "So Much for the Reggae".



Lesson 4

Playing E and a new Halloween themed tune; "Trumpetmare"



Lesson 5

In this lesson we consolidate playing E.



Lesson 6

In which we learn to play F and with that we play "We Will Rock You" by Queen:



Additional video

Choosing an instrument; types of instruments, brands, models and prices.



Soon to follow more videos in this very news-post.

Very nice! I had to play trumpet in 5th grade because percussion was full, but flunked out cause I refused to leave classes to go to my lessons xD @Teravex might enjoy these!

Well, you can look at this like that:
There are not that many trumpet players on Newgrounds or stock-music, and you'll have in your music a live instrument that could make the difference. My best selling track is just jazzy loop with a live trumpet on top. Sold 220 times on Audio Jungle o_O

I don't even know how to ring the housebell properly, I'm a lost cause with music... But I'm sure a lot of people will be interested

Thanks for the comment. I teach trumpet to a lot of people, all kind of people; from 6 years old to 60 years old, from talented pupils to tone deaf, from busy people to kids with ADHD...etc.
Using this method (easy steps and use each step to play an actual song at the end of the lesson) worked with almost everybody.

Give it a try, you never know, maybe you're not a lost cause after all.

This is great! I used to play trumpet. ?

Why did you stop? Maybe it's time to restart?

@TheGhostOfSevenSeize @sorohanro so when I was younger I kept getting strep throat and scarlet fever and tonsillitis over and over and over and my pediatrician actually told my parents that being in band probably wasn't helping.
I still have my trumpet though! I should get it cleaned and pick it back up!

You should definitely get it cleaned and start playing again. The airflow and the breathing exercises actually help the blood flow and oxygenation, so might help being healthier.

I'll provide you with materials for all levels, sheet music, backing tracks...etc.
Having a live recorded instrument really helps getting your music to the "next level".
