best fingering chart I ever saw it helps me understand how to play different notes and chromatic scales

[@vojtechtkac5136]

i agree - this is awesome thing! thank you so much!

[@cosinelimited7621]

Send these charts they great

[@kennethroberts3150]

I like your technique I need to see more

[@naomivung5459]

Thank you for sharing It's helpful for me God bless

[@deanthanasos7069]

thank you

[@ayyyyyyyyy]

I like your content, it's useful while I'm learning trumpet. If I may leave some feedback, please look in to an external mic. A decent wireless mic doesn't need to cost more than $50. Good luck.

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

Thanks for the helpful feedback - great idea for my future videos!!

[@bamitchell86]

got it now. Thanks

[@raseshgandhi6702]

Thank you so much

I played trumpet over 2 years but never knew what code that I'm blowing, this video really help me to recognise trumpet codes..thanks for this video!

[@Vyxzxz]

Nice 👍

[@EdoLS_]

Thank you very much!

[@pauldance7387]

I don’t have a printer can I purchase this from you ?

[@luka_bu9]

What about only third valve?

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

It can be used as an alternate fingering for 1-2, but I’m not a trumpet expert, and at least 99% of the time you just would not use 3rd valve alone. Sorry I can’t help more!

[@Tjoppy]

Great chart but I don't understand the transposing of the trumpet. When you play a C @ 2:05 it's actually a A# or Bb. How does this work?

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

You would probably only understand it well by finding a video on his trumpet transposition works. But basically, for centuries people have used different sizes of trumpets (in the keys of C, A, Bb, and D) but they didn’t want to memorize different fingerings for each different size, so composers write the music differently for each instrument so that trumpet players can always press the same valves for the same notes, and it comes out sounding right. Make any sense?

[@Tjoppy]

@@StepWiseMusicEd thank you very much! Yes it makes sense.

[@dayalasingh5853]

It is good

[@Peoplebemean]

It’s my second day playing the trumpet and I’m stuck on one note

[@xxxskpclan8719]

can i print this??

[@ariannawelch2115]

i’m previously played the trombone 2 years ago, then the flute a year ago. now i’m switching to the trumpet... wish me luck

[@ImprovPathways]

Wow - interesting chain of instruments...good luck!

[@desmondbediako5658]

Hi i just start how can be good

[@ImprovPathways]

I’d suggest you work on controlling the partials a lot - practice about a minute for each fingering and hold the same fingering while playing higher and lower to try to get 4 or 5 partials each fingering. Also, search KZbin for “beginning trumpet lessons”. Best wishes!

[@otter2241]

Lol 😂 it’s called practice. FYI it’s not hi I just start how can be good, it’s hi I just started playing the trumpet how can I get good at it?

[@dayalasingh5853]

The fingering chart for my book is weird

[@dab5music328]

my trumpet is in B so...this was ALMOST helpful

[@benjaminnguyen7631]

Isn’t it the same fingerings regardless what key ur trumpet is in

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

I’ve never heard of a B trumpet, but yes, the fingerings and note names are the same on ALL trumpets. The sound coming out may be a different concert pitch, though.

[@mariamoubarak]

@@StepWiseMusicEd But the C on a C trumpet would be a B flat on a B flat trumpet no? so do these fingerings apply? I have a B flat trumpet

[@joseantoniovidalmelzi1091]

God Bless! Gracias señor don Curtis :)

[@duncanm716]

Starting out it is just what I needed to get rid of the confusion, Thank you!

[@emil6209]

EASY!!! I have basic knowledge of music but was interesting of how notes are played on a trumped. Seriously this chart was the best explanation I found on the Internet. Thank you.

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

Sweet! Thanks for the great comment.

[@AlexanderEvain]

Thank you Curtis!! you saved my life... I was struggling as a new trumpet player to put in an order all those notes so I can remember them easier!! thanks again!!

[@AlexanderEvain]

im the 599th subscriber :P ohhh almost 600th

[@hectorguaderrama6284]

How do I get one of these charts for my b flat trumpet?

[@whitehead51]

Yes it sounds simple but getting the same note to go higher is a struggle for me

[@MichaelGawesebmainone]

I have been playing trombone for a year and got the first position chart from you. I started learning trumpet and came back for a fingering chart, would appreciate if you could refer me to a bflat fingering chat.

[@NicolasMino]

this is amazing, thank you

[@ltcheesypuff6840]

Doing marching band helps a ton

[@kennethroberts3150]

Just starting back...

[@hectorguaderrama6284]

Nice. Thank you.

[@kapilgaikwad4740]

Thank you sir

[@afteraftersudoh737]

Good teacher, those days were I was learning trumpet, had it been I came across this I would have been the best, but today am learning sax. Some day I will try trumpet again for fun with your chart. thanks.

[@Tubsidio]

Awesome. Thank you

[@pinkchilde3657]

Thank you so much this helped I was curious about the fingering for some lower notes this helped a lot!

[@charlesarmstrong5292]

Brilliantly explained. So easy to follow. Thank you so much.

[@shimonmaharik]

good stuff good stuff...

[@karapusse]

Thank you for this! Sooooo usefull!

[@sabirkarki]

Thank you, sir.

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

You're welcome - I'm so glad this video has been helpful!

[@sabirkarki]

@@StepWiseMusicEdCleared many confusions regarding transposition and how trumpet works.

[@roshadhewakurunduge1850]

now I know the trumpet scale, thank you very much!

[@ultramanxk7]

Short and effective class, I love it.

[@prsv6773]

Yes, this chart makes the most sense to me in learning the notes and keys- as a retired accountant. Thank you for doing this.

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

Wow - cool feedback from a unique kind of expert! Thanks!

[@dominikferenc5961]

Hello there Can I have the website, that I can see those things, please

[@cartermartorello2582]

Freaking genius

[@lunidt9560]

WOW! Thank you. I just had a lightbulb moment!!

[@pwnayr]

holy smokes ive been looking for the diagram in the top half of the page forever.

[@EwoutLuit]

Alright... that's fun and all, but your trumpet is tuned in Bb so when you say you're playing a 'C' in open position, you're actually playing B flat... Why doesn't your fingering chart start at B flat???

[@duncanm716]

On transposing instruments you don't read music based on the actual note you hear, and instead have finger positions for notes and are called differently to simplify.

[@williamgeorgelopezjunior8533]

So... how many notes/cards are in the whole deck?

[@barryhunt8527]

Amazingly good, thankyou very much

[@AshokeTewari]

Thanks so much for making the chart and video!!

[@ftera4]

Thank you! Excellent help for getting to know the trumpet intimately, efficiently and as easily as possible. I've visualized this but haven't found it until now. I'm an adult and I've been playing for over a month now with great enjoyment and pleasure, and this is imperative.

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

You are very welcome! Glad to know it helped.

[@robinwinther6685]

Is it easy to play on trumpet?

[@gaiamassai6741]

Does the chart works the same if I am playing a cornet in b flat?

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

Yes - it’s exactly the same. :-)

[@michaelredwine9620]

omg i understand everything

[@dennisbaynas33]

very nice tutorial info here, thank you very much

[@mariamoubarak]

Makes total sense for someone who doesnt know how the trumpet functions !! Thanks!

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

You are very welcome! I’m so glad it helps you make more sense of the trumpet.

Turn off that irritating background music😡😡😡

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

Sorry about that - I’ll avoid this problem in future videos, but it’s too late to “fix” this one without deleting all the audio. 😕

[@barryhunt8527]

StepWise Music the prob is when you trying to concentrate and play the vid over a few times it drives you up the wall 😱🤪🤪

[@liveextreme6752]

Be my President. Super genius

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

Thanks man!

[@oxyharmonic]

this is for a trumpet in C, yes? Mine is in Bflat..... :(

[@oxyharmonic]

Really.... are you sure it isn't C? Seems like it to me

[@jonathanmartin2563]

Do you know any good trumpet instructors around the Boise Idaho area I enjoyed your video

[@kathleneroush9139]

Don't worry, most 🎺's are in Bflat ;-)

[@queenpiracy3933]

You are a genius

Years of teaching beginning trumpet players! Years!! Thanks.
