Trumpet Vine Blooms?
Even in knowing that the trumpet vine is very aggresive, it is the best added color in my garden of Eden. Although it does not grow as rapid as other vines in the garden I would like to increase blooms. Anyone have any remedies?
Trumpet Vine Blooms?
fertilizer seldom increases flower production, but rather encourages leaf or'green growth.' I don't think fertilizing is the answer. Perhaps a little pruning. My trumpet vines were all but vanquished by a brutal winter--well, brutal for Socal ,anyway--so I'm helping them along but not too concerned with blooms. Check out Sunset .com.
Reply:Fertilizer is the most important. Make sure you pinch off the spent flowers, they produce seed and the plant will quit blooming, thinking it's done its job.

Trumpet classes in Singapore?
I just joined a symphonic band this year and my tone is horrible, and I can barely go higher than high D. So, should I take up trumpet classes outside school? If so, where and roughly how much will it cost?
Trumpet classes in Singapore?
Contact your local music instrument sales store and ask them. Ask the director of your band, surely he/she would know.
If you are really serious about music, you could contact the music conservatory at the link below. That would be very expensive, but I don't know how much.
Reply:if u want to improve then i think u should go for classes, which part of singapore are u at?maybe u can take a look at this site for classes thats near ur place....

Trumpet tone?
I saw trumpet tone intensifier things online, do they work, if I get one, which should I get?
Trumpet tone?
Try one and see if it works for you. I think it operates on the same principle as the Bach Megatone mouthpieces. I am not sure. I like the Megatone Mouthpieces, though...so, give it a try. Can't hurt, and if you don't like it, sell it on EBay.
I personally think it might cut down the harmonics, though.
Reply:whats a trumpet tone intensifier i play a trumpet and i should know.
Reply:sounds like rubbish...the only way to get good tone is by practicing and building up your embouchure, in general.

Having trouble with Trumpet apature. What whould you do?
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.

What are some excellent trumpet sightreading books?
At many auditions, the sightreading is just a makeshift of complex rhythms without a melody. What are some good trumpet books with mainly difficult rhythms and not much melody?

modern reading in 4/4 by Louis Bellson (Or something to that effect). It's written for drummers but a fantastic way to develop rhythm recognition. I speak from experience (It also reminds me that I should do more, the ships await!)

How do you kill trumpet vine?
Trumpet vine is beautiful but takes over your yard even grass. Takes lot of time and energy
How do you kill trumpet vine?
Its been six years I'm still waiting for mine to grow. Get some deer in your back yard thats a great way to kill every plant.
Reply:Try cutting the vine close to the base and pour Round Up in the cut. You may have to cut several places and do this to get rid of it. Its pretty hardy.
Reply:Tough, tough question. I had a trumpet vine that went renegade. It ate my house. It ran up the side of my house to the roof and was growing all over the roof. Offshoots were coming up in my yard and my neighbors yard. I had to attack it with a vengeance. When I dug up the ground, I found that the root was the size of a tree root. I drilled holes in the root and salted the root. I also poured boiling water on the root and then resalted. I split the root open with an axe and put kosher salt inside the cut. Eventually I killed the main root but all the little offshoots were busy making their own new vines. It was a living nightmare. I got rid of all the small vines with the boiling water treatment. I eventually resorted to roundup before my neighbors sued me. Even roundup had a hard time with these nighmarish plants. The upshot is that I sold my house and now it is somebody else's problem. I did not sell because of the vine but I was glad to be rid of the problem. This was no morning glory. I bought and planted this thing myself and will never do so again.
Reply:I used this method to get rid of trumpet vine - campsis radicans that has a similar root invasion habit to other vines like wisteria and ivy.
When I moved into this house 19 years ago as a renter, I inherited a trumpet vine - campsis radicans. I have learned that it was the last plant to leaf out in the spring and the first to lose it's leaves in the fall. Here's my horror story and what I've learned about this vine. Over time the vine began to bloom and pop up everywhere in the yard. I would pull the sprouts only to find more year after year. When it pops up in the lawn it can just be mowed. After 13 years we purchased the house and had to cut down 5 trees and regrade the land due to overplanting and flooding. When we dug up the stumps from the trees and regraded we discovered roots of the vine 3' to 4' deep in the soil, up to 30' from the parent plant and as large around as my wrist! We dug and dug and, well you get the point. A year later we still had sprouts coming up from bits of roots that we'd missed.
Here is how I've learned you can get rid of it. Now, up until this point I had NEVER used herbicides or pesticides in the garden. Here's what I did and you can do to get rid of it. Put about an inch of Round Up Weed and Grass Killer Super Concentrate (you could also use Brush B Gone) in a clear plastic container with a tight fitting lid like you might get at the deli with potato salad. Cut a slit in the lid and insert the tips of the vine in the solution when in active growth (has leaves on it and the leaves need to be in the solution). Leave the vines in the solution for 48 hours and then cut the vines near the lid. To remove the vine from the lid, be sure and take the container to a safe place so that no solution splashes on anything precious. You can reuse the solution until it is all absorbed. Everytime I find a new sprout I do this same procedure. So far there have been no sprouts from areas that were treated this way.
Reply:Trim back as much as you can then take it out by the root. Make sure you have all the root else it will come back.
Honestly I didn't know trumpet vine would take over like this. Are you sure that is what you have? Maybe it's morning glory. Now *that's* a pain to get rid of.

Cleaning a Trumpet?
General tips and specifics for black spots of ? on my trumpet. I have a silver trumpet
Cleaning a Trumpet?
Do not use silver polish. The black spots sound like they are places where the finish has worn off. Take it to the repair shop and ask if they can fix the black spots before you do more damage.
Reply:Tarn-x works great on silver
Reply:A good internal cleaning will keep your trumpet sounding great.
Step OneReserve the bathroom or any other room with a tub and running water. A large wash tub and a water hose in the back yard will work fine if it's safe from the curiosity of your pet dog.
Step TwoSet up a work table near the tub.
Step ThreeClose the bathroom sink's drain, and place a 2- or 3-foot-square piece of plywood over the sink.
Step FourFind two Turkish bath towels in good condition. Avoid using worn towels with holes or tears in them.
Step FiveFold one towel twice or more so it will form a thick pad to protect the valves and delicate tubes of the instrument.
Step SixPlace the towel on the bottom of the bathtub. Be sure it covers the drain hole.
Step SevenFold and place the other towel on the tabletop or the plywood covering the sink. The work area must be clean and supply cushioning.
Step EightFind a comfortable chair or stool.
Step NineMake sure that the light sources are adequate.
Step TenGet a gooseneck halogen lamp that will illuminate the interiors of small parts.
Step Eleven Fill the tub with 6 inches of lukewarm water and add a 1/2 cup of mild liquid soap.
Tips %26amp; Warnings
Check the trumpet to determine if all the parts are complete, undamaged and intact.
Blow through the instrument, depressing all three valves, to discover any blockages.
Put a clean wash rag in the end of the bell to seal the air chambers.
While blowing to create some air pressure, open and close the main tuning slide spit valve to determine how well it prevents air leakage when under pressure.
Press the third valve, blow air, and open and close that spit valve. Does it seal? If there is leakage, fresh corks should be installed.
Remove the rag in the bell and produce a sound, if you can.
Run a chromatic scale. Listen for the half/step note changes for accuracy and quality of tone produced. If there are leaks in the valves or the tuning slides, the tone quality will be inferior and compromised.
Used and old instruments can harbor infectious bacteria. Be careful about how quickly you place your lips on old or used mouthpieces. Disinfect them using an alcohol soak, or use your own mouthpiece.
If you are checking an instrument for potential purchase, be sure all the slides and valves move and function with ease. Dented slides and "frozen" slides are expensive to replace.

Is this a good trumpet?
I am just now starting and I really like this one:
http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.asp...
does anybody ahve one or know anything about it?
Thanks!
Is this a good trumpet?
No its really not. I especially wouldn't buy a trumpet from a place like Costco. Try woodwind %26amp; brasswind, just google them for their website. If you are really going to be playing for any length of time you should really try and spend $450-500 at least, even on a beginner horn. If you buy a really low quality horn, something will break or stop working, probably not too much longer than a year (not too mention the sound and ease of playing) - and to pay more money to get it repaired/worked on just doesn't make sense. Whatever you do stay away from those novelty horns with the color plating, they are really terrible, and take care of and carefully maintain whatever you do buy.

Switching from trumpet to tuba...?
I was wondering if anyone would know this... would it be easier to figure out tuba's notes in relation to trumpet's, or buy an essential elements book (like I bought when I started trumpet) and learn the notes by playing the songs?
Switching from trumpet to tuba...?
If you will be playing an Eb tuba then there is a direct and obvious relationship to the trumpet and tuba fingerings (you finger the tuba the same as the trumpet by reading the bass clef as though it were treble clef and changing the key signature. ie: F immediately below the staff on an Eb tuba is fingered the same as D immediately below the staff on a trumpet - same staff position, different clef, same fingering)
If you will be playing a BBb tuba then you will need to learn a new set of fingerings altogether. There is a direct relationship between baritone BC and BBb tuba and many trumpet players find that transitioning to baritone/euphonium first and then to tuba is a little easier.
For me, the way I learned the fingerings was to learn the relationship of the overtone series. I learned all of the notes that are open for example, then what was 1st valve, etc... I then applied that to reading the music. This assumes that you already read bass clef fluently. I used that same mathematical method with trombone (ie: 1st position plays (bottom up) pedal Bb, Bb, F, Bb, D, F, Bb -- 2nd position plays A, E, A, C#, E, A) ☺
On BBb tuba, you'd do open plays Bb, Bb, F, Bb, D, F, Bb, D, F... on trumpet, if you play open start with the really low pedal notes you have concert pitch Bb Bb F Bb D F Bb or in trumpet pitch pedal C, middle C, G, C (in the staff), E, F, high C... see a pattern here? ☺ The pattern is the same for all of the brass except French Horn.

6th grade trumpet help?
hey, im in sixth grade and i play the trumpet.... out of my period i usualy get about 4-5th chair,but id like better so if you could give me any tips.... o right i have the best sound as a trumpet out of my period and i have the fingers completely mastered but i dont know what im doing wrong. thx for the help = )
6th grade trumpet help?
hey, first off id like to congratulate you on choosing the trumpet as your instrument! Trumpet is an excellent instrument. Being a trumpeter in my High School Jazz Band, i recall the days i used to be last chair in middle school. It sucks! Anyhow, from what i understand your fingering and tone are alright. Keep checking your posture and that you are using your valve slides when needed. To improve your playing even more you might want to practice sightreading everyday. Also one good technique would be to learn all your scales (major, minor,chromatic, blues, etc...) and the modes that go with them. Modes such as (mixolydian,dorian,aeolian, locrian,phrygian, lydian). These modes that i mentioned, i was unfortunate to learn in jr, high, so i hope they have given you a head start. Also make sure you clean your horn daily, practice lip drills, long tones, slurs, pedals, and practice your improvisation. Oh, and maybe ask your teacher to move you up to 1st chair! hope i could help and keep up the practicing!
Reply:Don't feel bad my sixth grade year i started of last chair and stayed in last chair but i kept on practicing and practicing at home at school any time i got free so if you just practice it helps believe me. some tips: you may have a good sound but think about it. is it strained? you have to relax your throat and you steady air flow be consistent with your air flow and don't put pressure on your lips like when you get done playing you see a ring around your lips that shouldn't happen. you should feel like you are pulling the mouthpeice away from your mouth but not so far that you can't play hope that helps . i have been playing for almost 4 years now and in my 8th grade year i was a first trumpet.

High school trumpet player needs help?
I'm a sophmore trumpet player in a small high school, and i need to be able to play high, and long, not neccisarily at the same time. I can hit a c usualy, but alot of the time i have trouble hitting the c. Can anybody help me with a practice routine. The trumpet is my life and i'm willing to take how ever long it takes a day to achieve.
Thanks
High school trumpet player needs help?
Take it from me and years of playing that the wisest thing to do is NOT to start off playing high notes. It's much more agreeable and marketable to be able to play with a beautiful tone. Trust me. Kids always think that playing high and loud is best. Try finding someone that can play when a baby is asleep WITHOUT waking the baby up. That's about 100 x's harder to do than playing high.
However, it's always good to extend your range when properly done. You have to be sure that you can play the lower tones "pedal tones for example" first. Then start playing your scales. a low C to middle C to high C scales are good. When you start to feel your lips hurting or getting tired, STOP. No matter what, STOP. The next day you will feel the difference. Do it and in a few months you will start to notice that your endurance and higher range will increase. Best of all, you'll do it the right way: slowly and surely. There are many aspects of playing that I can't discuss here in a few paragraphs but I'm assuming that you're aware of breath support and proper embochure i.e. don't puff your cheeks, don't slouch etc...
Good luck with your playing!
Reply:hey wuts up? i heard ur problem im in the 8th grade and i was a trumpet a good one in fact but i switched to baritone...im in the marching bad so yeah lol anyway trying tightning ur lips...and try practicing breathing exercises cause the more u put air into the horn...u get two things...ur louder and u are able to play higher....just we u r going to play a high note...tighten ur lips and breath hard belive me it works! and good luck playing trumpet ok?

The next day you will feel the difference. Do it and in a few months you will start to notice that your endurance and higher range will increase. Best of all, you'll do it the right way: slowly and surely. There are many aspects of playing that I can't discuss here in a few paragraphs but I'm assuming that you're aware of breath support and proper embochure i.e. don't puff your cheeks, don't slouch etc...
Good luck with your playing!

Does this make me a bad trumpet player?
i play the trumpet. i've been playing it for 4 years now. but the thing is i can't really hit those high notes, especially ones off the scale, and hold it. the reason why (this is what my mom thinks) is because of my allergies and some breathing problem i have. it's not asthma but something else i guess. since i can't play that high i usually get 2nd or 3rd trumpet parts. since i started playing kids have told me to quit because i sucked and they've told me i'll never be good and blah, blah blah. i never did quit and i don't plan on quiting. i like playing the trumpet. but since i can't play real high does it make me a bad trumpet player? i also find that it sucks that i waon't ever be able to play really high like you see people in bands and orchestras and stuff. now that's depressing because it's so cool how they can get so high. i wish i didn't have this breathing problem.

Every band needs second and third part players too.
Playing the trumpet might actually help your 'breathing problem'. You are exercising your lungs while you play.
The high notes are really more a matter of embouchure (lip aperture and tension) and practice. The length of the note being held is limited by lung capacity. The more you practice, the better you will be able to control your embouchure.
You may need a different mouthpiece for your trumpet. They do come in different sizes and shapes. A different mouthpiece might make it easier for you. Talk to someone who plays trumpet professionally.
Reply:You don't have to play really high notes to be an amazing trumpet player. One tip though, to play a high note, keep your lips tight together and blow strongly into the trumpet. You don't have to blow you lungs out to get a high note, and I doubt it has anything to do with your breathing.
Reply:My sister has been playing the trombone for 2 years now...the thing is her arms are too short to reach all the notes. It's something she can't control, just like you can't control your breathing problem.
It doesn't make you a bad trumpet player if you can't reach the notes. Honestly, it's not ideal, but work with what you've got.
You know that singer Amy Winehouse...she sings like a man (in my opinion), and that works for her. If you want to make it big (which it sounds like you do), start a new trend. A non-high-note-solo trumpet player.
Don't listen to the other kids, if you want to keep playing the trumpet, go for it! And besides...one of these days you might be able to reach the high note, just keep trying!

I have a silver trumpet and.....?
ok..i have a trumpet that is REAL SILVER NOT SILVER PLATED and was wondering if i could wash out in warm water without causing it to tarnish or anything like that
I have a silver trumpet and.....?
Having dealt with antique silver in the past, it will tend to tarnish or turn black just due to the oil on your hands. My trumpet was brass but you should be able to run warm water through it to clean it out. Then get some good silver polish and get busy. Something like that will need TLC and polishing to keep it looking good. Best of luck with it. It sounds like you have a very sepcial horn.

What is the loud trumpet?
we will all hear when Jesus returns.Is it a trumpet or could it be something else we will hear.
What is the loud trumpet?
It's Heimdall's horn signaling Ragnarok - the battle between the gods, Loki and the giants. It will be the beginning of a new era and a rebirth of the world.
How can you deny the ancient lore?
Reply:Do you mean the last trumpet? I don't believe it is for our earthly ears.
1 Cor 15:52 - in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Reply:Hmm. I don't know.
