Trumpet For Dummies: Learn to Play the Trumpet in Various Styles (PDF)



Listening to a trumpet trilla series of high notes during a military march or wail longingly during a blues rendition-is a pleasure second to none. And masters, including Wynton Marsalis and Louis Armstrong, have made the trumpet truly Gabriel's horn, one of the most eloquent voices in classical music and jazz. Yet even a virtuoso begins somewhere. This down-to-earth and user-friendly guide shows those new to the trumpet everything they need know to play the instrument-from basic technique (including getting a good sound), caring for a trumpet, and learning pieces from many musical genres.

Jeffrey Reynolds, PhD, is a lecturer in music at the University of Toronto. A trumpet player with almost 50 years' experience, he has performed all manner of engagements, from funerals to weddings, from jazz gigs and dances to orchestra concerts.


There are many differing interpretations of the seven trumpets both within and without the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The trumpet series is one of the most difficult to interpret in the book of Revelation.


\u201CRaymond is steering jazz in the right direction\" (Downbeat). With a singular voice on the trumpet and flugelhorn, John Raymond is making his mark as one of the most promising, up-and-coming jazz musicians in the world. Dubbed as a Rising Star by Downbeat Magazine, he has released four albums since 2012 each to critical acclaim. He has also established himself as a sought-after educator, both as the Professor of Jazz Trumpet at Indiana University and as a guest soloist and clinician at schools around the world.


Daniel Berghout's exhilarating organ solo, "Trumpet Voluntary on FESTAL SONG" (Rise Up, O Saints of God), has long been one of the most popular downloads available on the OrganMusicDownloads.com and WardOrganist.com websites. It is sure to become a favorite of organists and congregations alike.


The embouchure of trumpet players is of utmost importance for tone production and quality of playing. It requires skilled coordination of lips, facial muscles, tongue, oral cavity, larynx and breathing and has to be maintained by steady practice. In rare cases, embouchure dystonia (EmD), a highly task specific movement disorder, may cause deterioration of sound quality and reduced control of tongue and lip movements. In order to better understand the pathophysiology of this movement disorder, we use real-time MRI to analyse differences in tongue movements between healthy trumpet players and professional players with embouchure dystonia.


Real-time MRI videos (with sound recording) were acquired at 55 frames per second, while 10 healthy subjects and 4 patients with EmD performed a defined set of exercises on an MRI-compatible trumpet inside a 3 Tesla MRI system. To allow for a comparison of tongue movements between players, temporal changes of MRI signal intensities were analysed along 7 standardized positions of the tongue using a customised MATLAB toolkit. Detailed results of movements within the oral cavity during performance of an ascending slurred 11-note harmonic series are presented.


Playing trumpet in the higher register requires a very precise and stable narrowing of the free oral cavity. For this purpose the anterior section of the tongue is used as a valve in order to speed up airflow in a controlled manner. Conversely, the posterior part of the tongue is much less involved in the regulation of air speed. The results further demonstrate that healthy trumpet players control movements of the tongue rather precisely and stable during a sustained tone, whereas trumpet players with EmD exhibit much higher variability in tongue movements.


Control of the anterior tongue in trumpet playing emerges as a critical feature for regulating air speed and, ultimately, achieving a high-quality performance. In EmD the observation of less coordinated tongue movements suggests the presence of compensatory patterns in an attempt to regulate (or correct) pitch. Increased variability of the anterior tongue could be an objective sign of dystonia that has to be examined in further studies and extended to other brass instruments and may be also a potential target for therapy options.


Playing a brass instrument on a professional level demands complex coordination skills and precise spatiotemporal control of many different muscles and movements. Especially trumpet players face major challenges, because not only coordination, but also physical strength is necessary to build up sufficient air pressure for playing in the high register [1]. One of the most important aspects of tone production, and probably also the most vulnerable, is the embouchure. About 64% of professional trumpet players suffer from temporary or chronic embouchure problems during their career with up to 17% having to leave their job due to sickness [2]. The objective assessment of the underlying muscular problems of embouchure dystonia (EmD) is complicated by the fact that most critical movements happen inside the body and can only be examined by modern medical imaging techniques. Recent advances towards real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) now offer a powerful new tool for visualizing movements of the tongue, septum, oral cavity and glottis at high spatial and temporal resolution [3, 4]. Moreover, real-time MRI is non-invasive and does not alter the sensory awareness while playing inside the MRI magnet [5]. 2ff7e9595c
