I`m a clarinet player, and i am seriously considering learning to play trumpet. the only thing im worried about is totally messing up my embrochure, so if anyone knows anything about this, i need to hear it!!

You will keep hearing all of us horn players saying that you can play trumpet.

But I have noticed there are quite a lot of good trumpeters who can play clarinet or sax pretty well; but I don`t see any excellent Clarinet or sax players playing horns well as a double. So I`d really ask a good music teacher for clarinet, and take good advice before you mess up.

i really want to learn how to play the trumpet too, and i have NO musical background. so it should be eiaser for you, besides the fact that you`ll be playing to instrumnets at once... good luck with your descision

i play the flute, clairnet and trumpet and i dont get my embousure (sp?)mixed up its not hard once you learn i started on clairnet in band for two yrs then i swiched to flute and now is my second yr on flute and i now am playing the trumpet on my own time it not hard or confusing just takes time

go for it.you can never learn enough.

OK, so i tried some trumpets at home...i got to a middle-staff D...then fell over...is this normal?? lol

That`s OK. I wish I got that high first time..

The open notes are where you get the range. So if you got a D, you should be OK for the open E above it.

Good luck

Thanks! I feel like i have potential in learning trumpet! I took it out the other day in band, just to see what people would say. My band director got mad and told me to get my butt back in my section...oh well
