Trumpet lessons.
The trumpet is an incredibly versatile brass instrument. It ranges from the softest, gentlest note to a brilliant fortissimo and offers a huge variety of sound. You can play melodies so tenderly that hearts melt, or really let it blast together with others. In trumpet lessons at Music Campus Essen, you'll learn step by step how to develop a beautiful, secure tone.
The trumpet is at home almost everywhere: in the symphony orchestra, in big band, in rock and pop horn sections and in jazz. In trumpet lessons in Essen, you'll work on breathing, embouchure and tone production, on range and endurance and on your musical expression. We help beginners and advanced players learn to play the instrument with confidence and find their own style.
Three valves.
Many notes.
A trumpet has only three valves. Your lips do the rest: with the same fingering you can play different notes. Tap the valves and hold a lip step to blow. Can you play “When the Saints”?
How your trumpet lessons work.
The first lessons
Buzzing your lips, embouchure on the mouthpiece and breathing from the belly: your first notes usually come in the very first lesson. Then come the valve fingerings for your first scales and little melodies.
Over time
Tone and timbre, tonguing and articulation, range and endurance and playing with a mute. Plus pieces from classical, jazz and pop, from solos to horn sections.
For kids and adults
Most kids can start from around age 8, depending on dental development. Adults love how quickly the trumpet starts to sound like real music and how well it fits into bands and orchestras.
Practising at home
Short daily sessions help the most, because the lip muscles grow with regular training. A practice mute makes practising at home quieter, and your teacher will advise you.
