These “natura valveless trumpets were made of wood, bronze or sivr. In the Middle Ages (500-1430), these instruments played only lower notes. During the Renaissance era (1430-1600), they performed at many ceremor ns. Gradually, players began to develop their higher range, especially in the Baroque era (1600-1750). Heinrich Stélze! introduced a valve trumpet in Berlin in 1814, By 1830, the Be Comet was introduced in Europe. Valves made it possible to play all the notes of a chromatic scale on these two closely-related instruments. Commets and trumpets are the highest pitched members of the brass family. As one of the primary instruments in the sound of concert bands and jazz ensembles, they play melodies, harmonies and solos. A trumpet is longer than the more conically shaped cornet. In this book, we refer to the 8 Trumpet, ut he instructions apply to both instruments Virtually all important composers have written music forthe trumpet, including 1S. Bach and W.A. Mozart.

To discover the correct airstream to play your instrument: + Place the palm of your hand near your mouth, + Inhale deeply through the corners of your mouth, keeping your shoulders steady. Your waist should expand like a balloon. + Slowly whisper tah’ as you gradually exhale air into your palm. The air you feel is the airstream. It produces sound through the instru- ment. Your tongue is like a faucet or valve that releases the airstream. Producing The Essential Tone "Buzzing" through the mouthpiece produces your tone. The buzz is a fast vibration in the center of your lips. Your embouchure (ahm ‘-bah-shure) is your mouth’s position on the mouthpiece of the instrument. A good em- bouchure takes time and effort, so carefully follow these steps for success: BUZZING + Moisten your lips. + Bring your lips together as if saying the letter’m.” + Relax your jaw to separate your upper and lower teeth. + Form a slightly puckered smile to firm the corners of your mouth. + Direct a full airstream through the center of your lips, creating a buzz. + Buzz frequently without your mouthpiece. MOUTHPIECE PLACEMENT + Form your"buzzing” embouchure. + Center the mouthpiece on your lips. Your teacher may suggest a slightly different mouthpiece placement. + Take a full breath through the corners of your mouth. + Start your buzz with the syllable “tah.” Buzz through the center of your lips keeping a steady, even buzz. Your lips provide a cushion for the mouthpiece. MOUTHPIECE WORKOUT Taking Care Of Your Instrument Before putting your instrument back in its case after playing, do the following: + Use the water key to empty water from the instrument. Blow air through it. + Remove the mouthpiece. ‘Once a week, wash the mouthpiece with warm tap water. Dry thoroughly. + Wipe off the instrument with a clean soft cloth. Return the instrument to its case. ‘Trumpet valves occasionally need oiling. To oil your trumpet valves: + Unscrew the valve at the top of the casing, + Lift the valve half-way out of the casing. + Apply a few drops of special brass valve oil to the exposed valve. + Carefully return the valve to its casing. When properly inserted, the top of the valve should easily screw back into place. Be sure to grease the slides regu- larly. Your director will recom- mend special slide grease and valve oil, and will help you apply them when necessary. Using only the mouthpiece, form your embouchure carefully.
