@@StepWiseMusicEdCleared many confusions regarding transposition and how trumpet works.

Years of teaching beginning trumpet players! Years!! Thanks.

Thanks man!

You would probably only understand it well by finding a video on his trumpet transposition works. But basically, for centuries people have used different sizes of trumpets (in the keys of C, A, Bb, and D) but they didn’t want to memorize different fingerings for each different size, so composers write the music differently for each instrument so that trumpet players can always press the same valves for the same notes, and it comes out sounding right. Make any sense?

@@StepWiseMusicEd thank you very much! Yes it makes sense.

It can be used as an alternate fingering for 1-2, but I’m not a trumpet expert, and at least 99% of the time you just would not use 3rd valve alone. Sorry I can’t help more!

Wow - interesting chain of instruments...good luck!

Yes - it’s exactly the same. :-)

Really.... are you sure it isn't C? Seems like it to me

Do you know any good trumpet instructors around the Boise Idaho area I enjoyed your video

Don't worry, most 🎺's are in Bflat ;-)

I’d suggest you work on controlling the partials a lot - practice about a minute for each fingering and hold the same fingering while playing higher and lower to try to get 4 or 5 partials each fingering. Also, search RU-vid for “beginning trumpet lessons”. Best wishes!

Lol 😂 it’s called practice. FYI it’s not hi I just start how can be good, it’s hi I just started playing the trumpet how can I get good at it?

On transposing instruments you don't read music based on the actual note you hear, and instead have finger positions for notes and are called differently to simplify.

Isn’t it the same fingerings regardless what key ur trumpet is in

I’ve never heard of a B trumpet, but yes, the fingerings and note names are the same on ALL trumpets. The sound coming out may be a different concert pitch, though.

@@StepWiseMusicEd But the C on a C trumpet would be a B flat on a B flat trumpet no? so do these fingerings apply? I have a B flat trumpet

Sorry about that - I’ll avoid this problem in future videos, but it’s too late to “fix” this one without deleting all the audio. 😕

StepWise Music the prob is when you trying to concentrate and play the vid over a few times it drives you up the wall 😱🤪🤪
