Do I need to switch mouthpiece for trumpet?
I’ve been playing trumpet for a year and a half and my problem is my tone sounds horrible. Also i can’t play high notes that well and it’s probably cause of my thick lips. My band teacher suggests me playing the tuba. I think my mouthpiece is too small and I use bach 7c. Do I need a bigger mouthpiece?
sorry you’re struggling with the instrument. please know that there are wonderful trumpet players with thick lips, thin lips, and everything in between. anyone can become a masterful trumpet player if s/he works smart and hard. 95% of trumpet playing is learning to use your air correctly – it isn’t fussing with your mouthpiece, equipment, or even worrying about your lips.
so anyhow, a bigger mouthpiece like a bach 3c or 1 1/2 c might help, but it isn’t going to make a huge difference. instead of messing with your mouthpiece, decide if you really want to play the trumpet, and if you do, start practicing in a disciplined and systematic manner. you’ll need good method books and good instruction if you want to go far. PM me if you’d like some suggestions on practice books.

Mouthpiece (Paperback) $11.87 From prosecuting (and defending) murderers in the Bronx to handling the public and private problems of Manhattan’s elite, Mouthpiece recounts the colorful adventures of New York City’s ultimate legal operator.“In the pages before us, the Counselor tells a saga’s worth of tales of the city. As the saying goes, he’s got a million of them.”—Tom Wolfe, from his IntroductionEdward Hayes is that unusual combination: the likable lawyer, one who could have stepped off the stages of Guys and Dolls or Chicago. Mouthpiece is his story—an irreverent, entertaining, and revealing look at the practice of law in modern times and a social and political anatomy of New York City. It recounts Hayes’s childhood in the tough Irish sections of Queens and his eventual escape to the University of Virginia and then to Columbia Law School. Not at all white-shoe-firm material, Hayes headed to the hair-raising, crime-ridden South Bronx of the midseventies—first as a homicide prosecutor and then as a defense attorney seeking to free the same sort of people he formerly had put in jail.Tom Wolfe immortalized this setting in The Bonfire of the Vanities. Ed Hayes was his guide, and he served as the model for the scrappy defense lawyer Tommy Killian. Eventually, Hayes moved his practice to Manhattan, using his neighborhood white boy instincts and connections and the rough-and-tumble techniques learned in the Bronx on behalf of the rich and powerful and famous. From a high-stakes legal shootout over the Andy Warhol estate to working to secure financial justice for the families of the World Trade Center victims, Hayes has been behind the scenes of how New York City really operates.For the tens of millions fascinated by New York’s unique blend of glitter and grime, of idealism and corruption, of avarice and ambition, Mouthpiece provides the ultimate cl |
