To get a desired sound, do TRUMPET players blow a note, or just simply blow air (and the valves make the noise

To get a note on a trumpet or on any brass instrument you actually have to 'buzz' into the mouthpiece.  You have to press your lips together with your lip muscles (emboucher) and different amounts of pressure result in different pitches of sound.  If you just blow into a trumpet you will get no sound at all except a whish of moving air.\n\nThe valves direct the sound into longer and shorter lengths of tube further differentiating the sound.  Its the combination of valve positions and lip pressure that give a wide variety of sounds.  \n\nA military bugle has no valves at all so it can't get a full range of notes but it can still make several different sounds.

Circular breathing is a technique that enables the wind instrumentalist to maintain a sound for long periods of time by inhaling through the nose while maintaining air flow through the instrument, using the cheeks as "bellows". The procedure involves four distinct stages:\n\n   1. As the performer begins to run low on air, the cheeks are puffed.\n   2. Air from the cheeks is pushed with the cheek muscles through the instrument and used to maintain the sound while inhalation occurs through the nose.\n   3. As the air decreases in the cheeks and sufficient air is brought into the lungs through the nose, the soft palate closes and air is again used from the lungs.\n   4. The cheeks are brought back to their normal embouchure position.\n\nThe process of "switching" from air in the lungs to air in the cheeks and back again is the single factor that keeps many individuals from succeeding at circular breathing. There are many methods to teach this "feeling". The following is one method used to learn this technique as well as several exercises that I feel particularly helpful. As in any new technique, circular breathing must be practiced on a daily basis for success. In addition is is very important to begin work with the instrument as soon as possible during study. Exercises are important, but are not helpful if the student cannot achieve the desired result with the instrument.\n\nPreliminary study is done in 8 steps:\n\n   1. Puff the cheeks and breath normally with the cheeks out. This will aid in the "feel" of breathing with the cheeks extended.\n   2. Again puff the cheeks and create a small aperture in the lips, letting air escape through the lips while inhaling and exhaling normally through the nose. By controlling the muscles in the cheeks, try to maintain an air stream for three to five seconds.\n   3. Place a straw in a glass of water and repeat step two with the straw in the water. Sufficient air should be used to force air from the staw to create bubbles in the water. This step should be repeated many times until the process feels somewhat natural.\n   4. While the air is being forced from the cheeks, inhale quickly and deeply through the nose. While the cheeks are still slightly puffed, begin to exhale through the mouth and empty the lungs. Try to keep the air stream and bubbles as constant and even as possible. Repeat several times.\n   5. Repeat step four but do not empty the lungs. As the lungs begin to empty again puff the cheeks, inhale quickly and deeply through the nose. After a small amount of air has been inhaled, close the soft palate and "switch back" to air used from the lungs. Repeat several times. This is the process that is used while circular breathing.\n   6. Place only the mouthpiece and barrel into the mouth. Practice holding a pitch as steady as possible by alternating a normal embouchure with an embouchure with the cheeks puffed. The student will notice the firmness necessary in the corners of the mouth and support needed from the upper lip area.\n   7. Repeat steps four and five with the mouthpiece and barrel only inserted in the mouth. The student is likely to squeak quite a bit during these first few attempts. The student will probably notice a "bump" in the sound while changing from the sound produced by the air in the cheeks to the sound produced by the air in the lungs. This is natural. Exercises later will try to eliminate or smooth this bumb as much as possible for each individual.\n   8. The remainder of the instrument should now be added. It is important to begin using the entire clarinet as soon as possible. The student should not be as concerned with getting a great sound as long as one that is usable is attained.\n\nThe following exercise proves very useful in beginning circular breathing study. It is important to remember that this technique does take time to develop. Most performers takes several months of study prior to any pu

There is another interesting notion.  Dr. Robert Moog, inventor of the musical synthesizer bearing his name, pointed out in a discussion of it that it attempts to duplicate the characteristics of the various musical instruments.  For example, he pointed out that if a trombone player (like me) wants to hit a high note, a sharp attack on the note will lend more of the available energy to the upper harmonics.  If all the harmonics are present, it may then be very important which harmonics are most energetic.  The difference between the distinctive sounds of a clarinet and a sax is in part due to the emphasis or de-emphasis of certain harmonics (odd or even), etc. because the instruments are respectively cylinders and cones.

French Horn.  It takes a while to get a good tone when playing and it has a huge range.  I once heard a fellow play almost 4 octaves on one.  Flute, Clarinet + Sax have a set range of about 2.5 octaves and alot of fingering combinations to remember.  Your sound depends on the type of reed and bite you put on it.  Tuba requires alot of wind and a good sized mouth as the mouthpiece is huge.  French horm and trumpet need taut lips, breathing skills and an ear because to actually hit the various notes you have to kind of sing in your head.  Drums require good hand coordination.

Baritone and alto sax are both Eb instruments. Tenor sax and trumpet are Bb instruments. Trumpets also come in Eb and C, and I think even Ab, but they are much less common. The trumpet will sound one octave higher than a tenor sax, and the alto sax will sound an octave higher than a baritone sax.

There are many things that could effect the buzzing.  \n(1) Not enough air support - use your breath as a column of air and allow the tongue to break the column - do not use your tongue to start and stop your air. \n--excercises: put a piece of paper against a wall and try to hold it there for as long as possible.  once you can do that with a steady air stream then try tounging quarter notes and not letting the paper fall between notes.\n(2)using too much pressure. make sure the pinky finger on the right hand is not in the pinky ring allowing yourself to pull the instrument into your lips. your lips need to vibrate to produce a sound.  STAY RELAXED!\n(3)If you are creating a sound into your horn, you can buzz a mouthpiece. try playing a second line G and slowly pull your horn from lips, while maintaining air speed - your lips should continue vibrating.  once you understand how your air and lips are working, take out the mouthpiece and try producing a buzz.  \n\n**Remember your mouthpiece is your instrument, the trumpet is that amplifier**  if you hear an electric guitar player playing poorly without plugging in, why would you want to hear him plugged in? its still bad, but louder.\n\nLastly - if you have bigger lips, the small trumpet mouthpiece might be the wrong instrument for you - you may consider switching to trombone, baritone, or eve tuba\n\nGOOD LUCK!

Sound needs a medium to travel such as air or water. Since there are no air molecules in space, sound can not travel. This is demonstrated when you sound a tune fork inside a closed bottle and then suck the air out of the bottle. The tune fork will vibrate to eternity since the air molecules are not there to create friction, but you will not hear any sound coming from it.\n\nIt would have been nice if it was like that. You can shout your name and it echoes in the heavens for eternity. But, alas, that is not so.

Get them to identify the sound of different instruments from a recording preferably symphony orchestra.In the 60s they used Peter and the wolf narrated by  Danny Kaye or similar. I still remember it.I became a professional musician.

Look for the Trumpet Master Care pack at Musician's Friend.  $15.  Don'use brass cleaner, or other strong or abrasive cleaners.  You could remove the laquer.

A song that is only one note played over and over again is really boring. So (all those things) are added for excitement. They are used to tell a story, slowly building up, using repetition to drive a point home, using different ones to surprise the listener.... just like words for telling a story.\n\n(In fact, if you search how to tell a story well, you can just replace all the reading words with music words, and it'll say the same thing.

Watch one, next time, and you’ll see why! The position of the player’s mouth around the reed or mouthpiece is called "embouchure" which comes from the French word "boucher" meaning "to kiss".\n\nEnergy In The Air: How Sound Is Made \n\nCRASH! BANG! Did you hear that sound? It was made by air vibrating. The same is true for sounds made by musical instruments. The difference between NOISE and MUSIC is that musical sounds are organized into patterns that have pitch and rhythm. Noise is just random, disorganized sounds. Sounds are made and travel in the same way whether they are musical sounds or noise.\n\nA musical sound is called a tone, and is produced by air vibrating a certain number of times per second. These vibrations are called waves. These sound waves must be contained in some way so that the performer can control the loudness, quality of the tone, and how long it plays. Most musical instruments have a reed, a string, or some other device that creates sound waves when moved. Sounds are different because of harmonics, which are higher and quieter sounds mixed in. They are not heard separately, but add to the tone of the sound, making an oboe sound different from a trumpet or drum.\n\nThe number of times that a sound wave vibrates in a second is called its frequency. Scientists even have a name for how they measure the frequency of sounds. They measure it in cycles and call it hertz. High notes have a higher frequency than lower notes and this changes their shape. Different types of sound waves have different shapes. Look at these images to see what sound waves "look" like.\n\n\nFor the rest go to the site below.

The air flow that is being prevented is not the air flow over the hole you blow across. By holding down the keys or covering the hole passed where you blow to make sound, you are preventing the air from flowing out that way. When you do that you make a tone different holes, different tones. By making tones you play music. Thus you play by preventing the airflow thought selected holes.

The primary difference acoustically is that the saxophone is conical bore, which causes the upper notes to speak exactly one octave above the lower.  The clarinet has a cylindrical bore, which causes the upper notes to speak 1 1/2 otaves above the lower.

I have played trumpet for 12 years now, and I have never seen a fugly woman trumpet player. It is all about the image. Brass are very masculine instruments and the brightest and loudest of them all is the trumpet. Playing the trumpet symbolizes power and coolness. One of my friends says: "Trumpets is sexual organ of band, without it there is no point of listening to the music."

they connect notes when the notes are two different pitches. they allow the music to have a more lagato feel, more connected.
