Q & A
How do you create a buzz with your trumpet mouthpiece?
-To create a buzz, close your lips in an 'm' position, breathe through the corners of your mouth, and pass air through your closed lips.
What is the correct way to insert the mouthpiece into the trumpet?
-Hold the trumpet in your left hand and give a gentle twist to the left with the mouthpiece to push it in.
Why should you avoid tapping the mouthpiece when inserting or removing it?
-Tapping the mouthpiece can cause it to get stuck, so a gentle twist is recommended instead.
How should you position your left hand on the trumpet when assembling it?
-Make a C-shape with your left hand and place it around the valve casings, with the left ring finger in the third valve slide ring and the left thumb in the first valve slide saddle.
What is the purpose of the lead pipe on the trumpet?
-The lead pipe is the part that leads to your mouthpiece, located between valve one and two.
How should your right hand be positioned on the trumpet?
-Relax the right hand and place the thumb under the lead pipe, with the index, middle, and ring fingers lining up on valves one, two, and three respectively.
Why is it important to keep your fingers relaxed when holding the trumpet?
-Keeping your fingers relaxed, as if holding a ball, allows for better control and prevents unnecessary pressure against the lips.
What is the recommended fingering for the valves on the trumpet?
-The pads of the fingers should press the valves down, with the index, middle, and ring fingers on valves one, two, and three.
Why should you avoid using your pinky in the hook when playing the trumpet?
-Using the pinky in the hook creates too much pressure against the lips and hinders the ring finger movement.
What will be covered in the next video after assembling the trumpet?
-The next video will teach how to breathe properly to develop your sound on the trumpet.

how do you put your trumpet together and
create a sound on your instrument
before we put things together let's
quickly review how to make a buzz in

valve slide ring
and the left thumb in the first valve
slide saddle
around the first valve casing completely
relax the right hand
and place the thumb under the lead pipe
this is the lead pipe
that leads to your mouthpiece between
valve one and
two index middle and
ring finger will line up on valve one
two and three
keep the fingers relaxed as if holding a
ball the pads of the fingers will press
the valves down i'll show you in this
direction
avoid using the pinky in the hook you
wonder why
it will create too much pressure against
