Beginner Band & Orchestra Information/Q&A Meeting TONIGHT (Wed May 28) at 7PM!
When you first start out on these instruments, your lips and mouth and cheeks might feel tired. But, the more you practice and play, the stronger your lips, mouth, and cheeks will get - just like when you run everyday, you build muscles and get faster! Watch this video as a trumpet player explains how to make a buzzing sound and try it out for yourself.
Another really cool thing that you can do with brass instruments is that you can change what they sound like by adding a MUTE into the instrument's bell (the opening). Some mutes change how loud or how soft the instrument plays, while others change what the instrument totally sounds like. Check out this video that shows you different types of trombone mutes.
