i used to have a trombone but i got mad and bent the hell out of it
shawty imma party till the sun down |

the 'buzzing' thing you're supposed to do to make it make the sounds makes my lips feel really weird and i accidentally got one of the valves stuck whilst trying to oil it (fortunately, i got it unstuck without damaging it, yay!)
still better than my first experiences playing a guitar though |

"Will you add it to your music?

but of course
it could be awhile before it makes an appearance though |
|
|
"i quit band in 4th grade cuz it sucked"
i didn't even pick up an instrument until the seventh grade
seeing as the band classes i'm taking seem to mostly have younger kids (beginning band isn't done by age - anyone can take it) i feel a little embarrassed by this |

^ Just blow the trumpet. That's music enough. |

"^ Just blow the trumpet. That's music enough."
it doesn't make a sound if you just blow into it
you have to make this weird buzzing noise in order for it to produce anything resembling a note |

i played trumpet at the time I took band and if I remember correctly you have to spew into the mouthpiece not blow it |
|
|

|
|
"Can you record this buzzing noise?"

You'll get used to the buzzing feeling. It never really bothered me though (I march with a mellophone which has a trumpet mouthpiece. 7C which stinks. Never get 7C), but yeah. Good luck with auditions and stuff coming up. |

fortunately, i have at least a year or two before auditioning is an issue - both beginning and intermediate band don't require any auditioning beforehand. |

i dunno, i just want to |

It's called buzzing of the lips. It's pursing your lips and blowing air though the small hole created to vibrate your lips. Also make sure to tongue every note. I naturally did it cuz it feels weird not to but apparently some people just blow |

It's better to just blow into it and not try to force the buzzing
and good choice instrument-wise
trumpets are da best |
|
|
you're basically making a fart noise with your lips cir
p standard for playing a brass instrument |

Don't worry, if it doesn't work out as an instrument, just remember "Everything is a dil do if you're brave enough" |
