Trumpet player RED FLAGS 🚩

[@user-ie4dn6yp3c]

The staccato 💀 I know at least three people like this. I’m sending this to them 😂

[@treesquirrel3995]

NAH CUS I’VE HAD INSTRUCTORS TELL ME TO PLAY STACCATO MORE CONNECTED BEFORE

[@eastonarnett2050]

​@@treesquirrel3995 That can be useful advice. Generally staccato notes do not have to be "disconnected". Instead they are connected by one constant flow of air, just stopped by the tongue. They could be disconnected, or they could be connected by air, in which case, you should avoid articulating by stopping your breath and starting it again for the next note unless you really need to take a breath there.

Im your 1k like

[@KlaebMaster25]

I started this year, and everyone else has like 2 more years of experience and I'm too stupid to even know what that is☠️

Oh staccato means you play the notes disconnected and legato is connected notes. ​@@KlaebMaster25

Trumpet red flags 1. Playing as loud as you can in my ear and then screaming it wasn’t you 2. Fighting with the band director

For those who don’t know, staccatos make note very separated or “crisp” 👌

Not always

even in a homeschool band, all of this is relatable.

[@dragonpianoman1667]

Tbh tho the staccato making is a legit question depending on speed and era of the piece, like in beethovan sonate op.17 on horn the 2nd movement theyre treated more like a shape for the sound to follow than abrupt separations

The fact you made the first one start to have flat fingers really got me

[@saxophonerman1239]

Staccatos can be played in very different ways, especially in classical music. It depends on what style you are playing and the composers intention. You can play them super short, or more connected in the context of a phrase. Not as dumb as it sounds. Staccato doesn’t mean short, it means separated.

[@Ambarrabma]

that’s what they said. They asked if they wanted them more connected or more separated. Which is obviously a stupid question.

[@KermitTheFrog432]

I understand the Posture because, I am a percussionist

[@billzothebozo]

Not a trumpet player but in just my first year of playing Clarinet in band, all of these are red flags for ALL instruments. It makes me wanna cry.

[@N4K_Sky]

In our school that’s a little different with a terrible posture he plays so good somehow

Dude I thought that was a clarinet that was spinning at the start but being a band kid from last year- so relatable bc us flute players are just, SITTING THERE enduring the PAIN

[@Hadeopelago]

The ones like at the very begining that can damage the instrument so easily like leaving it free-standing on the bell are the fastest methods I know of spiking my stress levels.

[@mjmelody292]

A guy in my band class had that posture and he’s one of two trumpet players in the band

[@Johnclement1582]

Dude the terrible posture is one in my band they always be resting their trumpet horn on their leg

[@kaitlynnbryan-cn6vw]

We have a song where there is a lot of slurring for a super hard trumpet part (it's a level 5 bordering a 6, so the whole piece is pretty hard depending on your part) and we have one guy who keeps tonguing it instead. He says he can't even tell that he's not slurring it. He's also a senior

[@fredlip-biting3880]

[@smoovpufferphish1443]

It honestly took me 4 years to realize I didn't sound horrible because I didn't actually know if it sounded different to people in front of me compared to me playing behind it

[@lonely_ghost9857]

As a Percussionist, it hurts my *own back* looking at half the trumpet section sitting in the most uncomfortable and awkward position...and it doesn't help that I'm standing right behind them. The only thing that's keeping me from commiting a crime is the snare/cymbal/mallet instrument and music stand in between me...and their chair

[@H1pp13_th3r1an]

[@Mr-wo4xx]

"um teacher, do you want me to tounge these slurred notes"

[@I_steal_your_cookies]

There was a kid in my band class one who would always sit crisscrossed in the chair and no matter how many times someone tried to correct his posture he would get all mad and annoyed.

[@dark_starr346]

one of the trumpet section leaders does the thing in the intro..my guy has no regrets

[@Life_With_A_Leo]

Most people don’t actual know that staccato markings just mean sing the note as loud as you can instead of playing it. Your Band Director will love the display of knowledge and passion. The louder the better!
