For trumpet in Bb as this was a commissioned transcription for a player looking to play on Bb trumpet!

I'll have you know, my trumpet solo in 6th grade band was most beautiful. My mom told me so. So I don't know what you're trying to pull here!

I’ve been playing the trumpet for 50 years. Some people are arguing because this isn’t a fast, hard jazz solo with lots of notes and improvisation. That’s true, but it’s perfect. I can play this solo, too, or at least could at one time, but not with this sound or perfection. It’s not about the difficulty but the beauty. It is as good as one can play.

She played in concert with my local symphony orchestra a few years back. It felt like she landed on each note like a butterfly. Such a tender, beautiful tone.

[@elitematthew9898]

That sound quality was amazing. Her vibrato is awesome and she plays those high notes flawlessly!

[@PolishBigfootCircle11]

It's cool when people can shred on a trumpet and play a million notes a minute jazz solo, but this is where the instruments shines. In simple, elegant and beautiful melodies. Anyone can play harshly on a trumpet, but not everyone can play beautifully.

[@dsw86]

Simple melody. Execution is immaculate and makes all the difference.

[@ThMrksman]

If you've tried playing a trumpet, you know how impressive it is to get notes so clean!

[@christopheryochum3602]

She plays with a perfection that is unrushed and not overly articulated. I've heard other players play the same pieces she does, and they sound like they're overblowing or trying to play faster. It's hard to explain. Her tone is round and it doesn't bite. Listening to her play is heaven.

Tine is one of my favorite trumpet soloists ever! She has recently recovered from cancer, and she was so incredibly positive on social media throughout her diagnosis and treatment, so love goes out to her!

Man, I knew trumpet could be better than I usually give it credit for, but this was stellar. Thanks for sharing this with us!

I played the trumpet daily for almost 10 years. Unfortunately, it’s extremely rare to find an opportunity to play something like this for an audience that would appreciate it. Trumpets are often used for accents or extreme effects, or a solo that screams out above the band. Also, nearly all players will clam up a note here or there, so composers tend to limit the time that a trumpet solo is exposed like this.

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

Wow, I'm a trumpet player, and I find this even more beautiful than any other trumpet solo I've seen on youtube. You don't need to play super high to please the crowd, you just need good tone quality and a nice open sound, something I still need to work on.

[@FlatEarthMath]

I never thought a trumpet melody could be called "tender." What a lovely tone she had. :-)

[@Sam-mb5zf]

Man I'm impressed she can keep that angelic tone even with higher notes, I sound like a dying bird when I try to play that g above the staff 😂

[@tpstrat14]

i've played trumpet going on 30 years now and the hardest part of this for me would be hitting that low 16th note at

[@markturner5207]

Always refreshing to hear a trumpet that’s not screaming….

[@aa1979]

As a non-professional, a C trumpet was always a nightmare for me to play with correct pitch and control. This performance is on another whole level.

[@goldensea03idk51]

Love seeing a good solo shown that isn’t super complicated but it’s the time she took to get an amazing vibrato, a clear tone, and a rich but bright sound.

[@Kit_k]

Lovely solo, I've been playing for only 4 years and it's quite beautiful how this girl makes the trumpet so soft and graceful sounding. Bravo
