Trumpet
The trumpet is the smallest member of the brass family. The sound on trumpet is produced by buzzing into a small mouthpiece. Trumpet players generally need thinner lips that can roll slightly between the teeth and fit into the mouthpiece. While orthodontia is somewhat troublesome at first to a trumpet player, it is not impossible to make good sounds with braces. A slight overbite is okay, but an underbite can severely hinder progress on trumpet.

Other Considerations
Trumpet parts usually have the melody (recognizable) part, therefore students who choose and are selected for trumpet should exhibit a confident demeanor, strong personality, and demonstrate a high level of self-motivation.
