The trumpet is the smallest of the brass family of instruments. It is common in jazz and blues music, as well as orchestras and marching bands.
The trumpet is the best brass instrument for young students to start out on, since it is the smallest and the least physically challenging.
One of the hardest parts of learning the trumpet (or any brass instrument for beginners is the embouchure (creating a buzz with your lips).
The trumpet, trombone, french horn and the tuba are the 4 core instruments in the brass family. There are many other less common brass instruments like euphonium, cornet, and sousaphone that are used in orchestral and band music.

30-minute lessons are our most popular option at NOLA School of Music. They are ideal for beginners and children who don't have enough material (or the attention span) for a longer lesson.
60-minute weekly lessons are great for adults or intermediate/advanced students. An hour lesson gives your teacher plenty of time to focus on technique, sight-reading, improvisation, and other aspects of music without being rushed.
For many students, 45-minute weekly lessons are the perfect sweet spot. Since 45-minute lessons are difficult to schedule, they may only be available during early afternoon hours or late evening.
