>buy trumpet >spend weeks trying to learn how to play it

You gotta kinda do the horse lips thing where you rattle your lips back and forth

well you have to blow with your lips like you're making a fart noise, the trumpet makes noise via vibrations created by your mouth/lips

did you try searching for a youtube video that would explain the most basic aspect of every brass instrument?

>>71721877
>>71721886
I've tried that and it still doesn't work
Just the sound of air blowing through comes out

>>71721929
pinch your lips tighter together, blow with more force

your lips need to vibrate quickly, very quickly

>>71721929
well then you're not trying hard enough

I think something is wrong with my trumpet cause I'm doing everything right I think and it should be working. I guess that's what I get for buying and antique trumpet off ebay

>>71721929
You got to blow harder, try practising with another male, it helps.

Source: It did for me ;)

>>71721858
just attach a leaf blower to it

>antique trumpet

>>spend weeks trying to learn how to play it to no avail
take lessons, turn weeks into years, git gud

hope you succeed lad

>>71721858
YOURE FLAT

Take lessons, but also start by just practicing buzzing on your mouthpiece. Once you can get a clear sound on it, then try the trumpet

>>71721858
the lip buzzing technique isn't exactly easy to execute, but it's not THAT hard.

why the fuck would you buy an "antique" trumpet? Especially if you were planning on playing it and learning on it?

I played trumpet in middle school, wish I still had it.
I now play guitar, piano, write my own music, etc., and the trumpet would be a nice touch.

Damn, I think I gotta get back on it. Thanks OP.

Just play the piano

>>71721858
You're NOTHING

and you will always BE nothing

>>71721858
you gotta suck on it harder

>>71721961
Do you even have a mouthpiece? The sound is in the buzz that your lips form. IF you someday figure out how to get any kind of sound out of the instrument, get the Arban book for excercises.

I was told I didn't need a mouthpiece
