Buzzing is the most basic way to make sound in a trumpet and it's important to practice buzzing. David Bilger actually practices 10-15 days of buzzing everyday. How do we buzz? First, hold the mouth piece with two fingers above and thumb under with your non-dominant hand. The mouth piece should be positioned in a way that lower and upper lips are split 50-50 evenly. Another thing to consider is to make sure the ring of the mouth piece is out of the red part of the lips (this may differ by your features).
The angle of the jaw is also very important to ensure you have even pressure on both lips and a straight airway out into the mouth piece. When you have all these positional elements correct, the sound you are looking for is a pure buzzing sound with very little to no breaks. You can achieve this pure sound by buzzing the embouchure evenly.
You can work on this purity by playing one note at mezzo forte, a medium dynamic, then moving down a note every time you can play the note with a pure buzz. Once you can do that on a single note, the next step is to practice moving between notes with no break in between each note, maintaining the evenness and purity.
It's easy to sign up and learn at your own pace. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. Join today!

I wished I have this video 30 years ago when I started playing trumpet in high school. I played for 3 year and gave up. Now after 30 year I will give it a second chance. What David Bilger explain on this video is GOLD. Thank you Mr Bilger and ArtistWorks.

[@donnycollins1797]

Ditto that

[@albertoricci744]

Bravissimo insegnante, in modo semplice ha spiegato un esercizio importantissimo per la produzione del suono utilizzando bene le labbra. Lezione eccezionale

[@politicalincorrect2595]

very good video, excellent explanation!1

[@ArtistWorksInc]

The easy part is figuring out the notes, but it is pretty much like learning a whole new instrument. The transition is harder for some and easier for other. Hope this helps. Goodluck!

[@Android_Warrior]

What Mouthpiece do you recommend for beginners?

[@1BlueStarRising]

[@freiretrompete1174]

exelente 👏👏👏🎺

[@loekevanasten2461]

So if placing the mouthpiece on the red of your upper lip works, it doesn't matter. Also my private trumpet instructor has never said anything about it. But some people say it will give problems. I'm considering a career as trumpeter so what would you advice me to do. What I have now gives me the best sound, so should I leave it or change it?

[@apsomar]

If your embouchure is wrong you should change it,it take patiente and time but you will be a better trumpeter Im not saying that It was Herbert L Clarke

[@tooter1able]

David, thanks-Any tonguing during the buzz?

[@dannynysus]

Tongue the bung, not the buzz

[@Paulfire0]

Came to my trumpet professor's house, I had a lesson with two others from our studio. Played Bozza's Caprice No. 2 (yes, #2). Fantastic player.

[@Super1srael]

Is it okay/normal if I usually play the mouth piece on the right side of my lips?

[@myanorman1773]

I dont think its normal nor okay. My band director said some professional player might do that for a performance / and or cause its more comfortable but they are a expert at basic buzzing. Including tripe snd double buzzing ect.

[@apsomar]

Thats not a problem at all.Maynard Ferguson placed the mouthpiece to the right side so Jon Faddis not every person is the same so is the embouchure

[@HTBProDuckSheOwn24]

I had a question. I was just wondering, is it hard to switch from woodwind (clarinet specifically) to trumpet?

[@andyjezek8116]

HTBProDuckSheOwn24 yes this one girl in my class can't play what so ever from Clarinet

[@vacantart5817]
