About this course

Learn the trumpet the way working players actually practice it, from assembling a Bach TR300 and centering a buzz on a 7C mouthpiece to ripping a clean lip slur and swinging a blues. You will build an efficient embouchure, a supported air stream, fast clean valves, and the listening habits that separate musicians from button-pushers. By the end you can read in treble clef, play all 12 major scales, slur smoothly across registers, and improvise simple lines over a 12-bar blues.
