I am currently in the 10th grade and after d oing some reading, I read that my apature was wrong. My trumpet was centered on my top lip, and you could see some pink. I am trying to fix it, as I got a band class coming up and I the only trumpet in a group of 25. Any specific way to go about doing this? any particualar read? I got Arbans Complete Compositorium for Cornet Method for christmas. Thanks ahead of time! (almost forgot, getting school subscription to SmartMusic in a week. Mabye this helps?)
Having trouble with Trumpet apature. What whould you do?
Embouchure!!!
Reply:Well, are you having difficulties producing a tone on the trumpet with your current apature? If not, don't mess with it. It takes a heck of a long time to relearn the trumpet. I would suggest a few private lessons with a trumpet teacher if you are concerned about your embouchure. Talk to your band teacher too; he might have some tips. You will need guidance to fix the "problem." You will get extremely frustrated if you do it by yourself.
Reply:keep your embesure (don't know how to spell it) good and tight when you go for the high notes. loose lips can make it sound flat.
