60% of trumpet practice is based on fitness and endurance, lip slurs and intervals, and a good relaxed warm up.  The physical intensity of what the lips go through is intense.  If the trumpet is not played properly, or with too much lip pressure, the player is doomed. 

 

With the right kind of practice and technique the trumpet can be an enjoyable instrument to play.

As a trumpet teacher I can make this instrument fun and enjoyable right from the start.
