There are no shortcuts to learning how to play a trumpet.
It takes practice and patience.
I know that it's monotonous,
but finally comes a time where you can express your emotions with music.
And this brings you such a pleasure that all the dull hours are forgotten.
All you have to do is practice scales, scales, and more scales.

[B] [Db] [B]
[N] Slowly and gradually, the synchronizations between the lips and fingers become of second nature.
When you no longer need to think of the mechanics of the instrument,
you can begin to think of playing things like, well, like the bumblebee.

an old saying, cleanliness is next to godliness.
Well, the trumpet, cleanliness, is next to purity of tone.
It must be kept clean, always.
The trumpet is a wind instrument, and you need plenty of wind to play it.
Not that one forces the wind, never that.
You never use more effort to produce the tone than you do in ordinary conversation.
But breath control is one of the most important factors in trumpet playing.
One way of developing the breath control is by swimming under the water.
Another one, by walking.
And another one, by actually practicing with the instrument.
Disregarding the breathing marks, and play as long as you can possibly go with one breath.
Then repeat from the beginning and try to better your previous record.
Each time adding one more measure.
Then another one, and another one, and another one.
Until, well, until the neighbors complain.
For example, in one breath.
