Can anyone tell me how to play loudly on trumpet?

I've been playing trumpet for five and a half years but I find that I simply can't play my trumpet loudly with good sound. It's not that I'm afraid to play, I love playing in public. Also, my trumpet is in good condition, so that isn't affecting the sound either. Could anyone tell me how to play loudly with good tone?


Thanks in advance.

First, ask yourself what type of instrument you play. Wind, string, or percussion? Okay... that was easy!





How can you play more loudly? Increase the amount of air flowing through your lips. Given your statement above... if I had to guess, your teeth are too close together to allow air movement... and, probably lip movement.





Just to make sure that breathing is not the problem, try laying down on your back and playing. If everything gets better immediately, you will have learned how to breathe properly... just remember what it felt like, and breathe like that in your normal playing position. Also, if you can yawn, you can breathe properly. :-)





How much should you open your teeth? Experiment... and, go to extremes! What is too little? What is too much? What is just right? Answer: When the sound is good, and you can increase and decrease the volume of sound easily, your teeth will be in just the right position.





Sight unseen, it is a bit difficult to know what other issues may be present. So, give these ideas a try. They can't hurt!





I hope this helps!
Reply:Okay, before playing, take your horn and just breathe through it. Suck in huge and just gently blow it out as if your just blowing a hair away from your face. Keep that air and blow into your horn. If you still need help, get a teacher.
Reply:blow harder just make sure if your doing a high note that your lips are tighter together and when your doing a soft note that they are more loose
