Trumpet

I would like to share with you all my experience about trumpet this musical instrument. Basically, this instrument consists of 3 parts mouthpiece, tubing and the bell. We can also make our own simple trumpet by connecting a water paip (tubing) with a funnel (bell).

To make sound from this "trumpet", firstly we must know how to do brass embouchure, "buzzing". Pitches are changed in part through altering the amount of muscular contraction in the lip formation. The performer's use of the air, tightening of cheek and jaw muscles, as well as tongue manipulation can affect how the embouchure works.The "buzzing" sound that made from our lips is exactly the bees buzzing sound. We also can simply play out any songs by using our mouth buzzing. Is it very interesting?
