2Trumpet Note and Fingering Exercises
1. The Note-Playing Process
Find a note you'd like to play on the fingering chart, and see if you can do the fingering on your
•
trumpet.
Remember, if two numbers are listed, it means you press two valves at the same time!
•
Keeping your fingers in position, form a good embouchure, and blow.
•
Repeat this process until you've learned several notes!
•
2. Back and Forth
Choose two notes that you've learned.
•
See if you can play them one after the other, again and again. For example: C, D, C, D, C, D, C, D.
•
Do this several times on as many different pairs of notes as you can.
•
3. Memory
After you have a good idea of what each fingering is, pick one and study it carefully.
•
Now, turn your fingering chart over and see if you can finger that note on your trumpet without
•
looking.
Once you've memorized one note, repeat the process to memorize the other notes.
•
Can you have C, D, E, F, and G memorized by our first rehearsal?
•
4. Create Your Own Song
Using the notes you know, create your own short song.
•
After you play the song, see if you can say the note names you used in order.
•
Do this as often as you can. You may even want to try playing songs for your family and friends!
