When standing or sitting, keep your body upright, your feet parallel, shoulder-width apart, your shoulders relaxed, and your arms droop naturally. Put the trumpet mouth towards your mouth and gently stick your lips on the trumpet mask.
2. Lip shape
Tighten your lips slightly to form a proper mouth shape. Don't close your lips too tightly and don't relax too much.
3. Breathing control
Take a deep breath and control your exhalation with your abdominal muscles. Keep a steady airflow while playing, and avoid intermittent or sudden airflow.
4. Pronunciation skills
Blow gently, let the air flow through the gap of the lips and make a sound. At first, you can try to make some simple tones, such as the long sound "hmm" or "buzz".
5. Finger control
At the same time, we should learn the correct finger control, so that we can press the corresponding valve keys accurately when playing different notes.
6. Listen to the tone accurately
Beginners can use tuners or other musical instruments to assist in tuning, so as to ensure the accuracy of the tone played.
Repeated practice
Playing the trumpet requires constant practice and familiarity with playing skills and music. You can choose some simple practice tracks or music scores to practice and gradually increase the difficulty.
