  6. Making Sounds on the Trumpet It is always good to start out with breathing exercises before playing on the trumpet, this will get your lungs warmed up and ready to play Breath attacks and long tones are a great way to start off the day playing on the trumpet Articulation can then be added into a warm up routine before going into repertoire

  7. The Four P’s for Embouchure PRESSURE of mouthpiece PLACEMENT of tongue PUSH of air PUCKER of lips These are all important to remember for a clean, crisp tone

  8. Fixed Jaw vs. Floating Jaw Fixed Jaw Floating Jaw • Stays fixed in the Temporal Mandibular Joint (TMJ) • Common in people with normal-slight overbites • Most people with fixed jaw have a straight embouchure • Note: Both are okay types of embouchures according to their jaw placement and whatever feels comfortable to the player • Moves out of TMJ to a comfortable position for playing • Common in people who have large overbites or under-bites • Most people with floating jaw have an embouchure that points downward

  9. Fixed vs. Floating Fixed Jaw Embouchure Floating Jaw embouchure

  10. Breath vs. Tonguing Breath attack Tonguing • This method of articulation uses no tongue, only the push of air that comes from your lungs • Embouchure must be rounded and throat relaxed for a good breath attack tone • This is a great way to make sound for beginners • Tip tonguing: articulation from the back of your top teeth (where the gums meet the teeth) and tongue goes downward and is tongued with the tip of the tongue • Anchor/Dorsal Toughing (not common): articulation caused from tongue being anchored on the back of the bottom line of teeth and is tongued with the flat part of the tongue
