TRUMPET LESSONS

at NOLA School of Music




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.

F.A.Q.

 about trumpet lessons at NOLA School of Music

WHAT IS A GOOD AGE TO START LEARNING THE TRUMPET?

Unlike string instruments like violin, there are not smaller sizes of trumpets made for children. Because of this, some younger children will have difficulty playing a brass instrument because of physical limitations. 6-7 is typically a good age to start.

If your child is too young to start learning the trumpet, your teacher will have your child start out on piano, learning the basics of music and then transition them to the trumpet when they grow into it. Knowing how to read music and having a little experience playing music will give your child a HUGE head start when they start to learn the trumpet!

WILL I NEED TO BUY A TRUMPET?

Yes. We do not provide instruments for our students to take home, so you will need to purchase or rent an instrument.

If you don't have your trumpet yet, don't worry! We actually recommend coming in for your first lesson before you buy an instrument, so your teacher can help you know what to look for and where to shop.

WHICH BRASS INSTRUMENT IS THE EASIEST TO LEARN?

It depends. For some students, making a sound on a smaller mouthpiece (like the trumpet) will come more naturally to them, but for others, a larger mouthpiece like the trombone will be easier. If you're undecided about which instrument you'd like to learn, your teacher will help you figure out the best brass instrument for you based on your physical features.

For a young student, there may be some physical limitations to consider: a larger instrument like the tuba will difficult (or impossible!) for a child to hold and a trombone requires a longer arm to be able to extend the slide completely. Because of this, we typically recommend the trumpet as the starting instrument for young children.

LESSON OPTIONS

LESSON OPTIONS

30-MINUTE LESSONS

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 LESSONS

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.

45-MINUTE LESSONS

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.
