As for beginners in trumpet, what should I pay attention to?
Trumpet learners, some beginners have a strong purpose in learning, blindly pursuing difficult playing skills and large repertoire, and neglecting the practice of basic performance. As a result, they will not be quick and lose the support of solid basic skills. Performance techniques cannot be improved qualitatively, which is not conducive to long-term learning and progress. The brass trumpet is a lip vibrating instrument, so there are some requirements for the shape of the lips. For example, the lips should not be enlarged and the teeth should be flat. It is best for children to learn the trumpet after changing their teeth. How to make the lips fully vibrate and play easily is a problem that every trumpet learner must face. In the process of playing the trumpet, if there is a problem with the mouth shape, randomly determine or move the position of the mouthpiece and change the vibration point. Unscientific breathing methods and incorrect adjustment of the relationship between the lips and facial muscle tissues may cause serious consequences to the player, which will directly affect the performance of the trumpet and the quality of the tone. Therefore, trumpet beginners should pay attention to the training of mouth shape when learning the trumpet, such as how to determine the mouth shape, how to adjust the relationship between the lips and facial muscle tissues during playing, and how to determine whether the mouthpiece is on the lips according to different personal conditions. How to do lip vibration exercises, how to use breath, etc.
The practice of basic skills for trumpet beginners is very important. Trumpet beginners develop a good beginner's habit to lay a good foundation for the future trumpet performance.
