Trumpet is Amazing, isn't it?


One of the niches in the field of music that really caught my attention is trumpet. This one truly makes me wonder and really keeps me to know more behind this beautiful instrument. The trumpet is a brass musical instrument with the highest register among the brass family. It is among the oldest musical instruments way back to at least 1500 BCE. Most people they use to play trumpet in brass bands, big bands, orchestras and military bands. Basically, trumpet is in cylindrical shape made from brass with a cup shape mouthpiece. Trumpet is played by blowing air into mouthpiece by closed lips making the lips vibrate, then producing a “buzzing” sound through this action sets the column of air inside the tube making the instrument vibrate. By keeping your lips closely tight when blowing will help build up your lip muscles in order for you to play for long periods. Low sounds can be produced if your lips is slack making all the air in the tube vibrate. Well, all of the said information on trumpet really makes me still say and woot, Amazing!
