Thanks for the tip about not looking at the tuner while sounding the note.

@JoshRzepkaMusic 3 года назад

Sure thing! Let me know how it goes.

Excellent advice. I'm playing about four years as a mature student and I never realised the right way to tune, ie look at the tuner after you have a full resonant sound. Any thoughts on the advice at the beginning of Arban to set the slides of the trumpet?

@JoshRzepkaMusic Год назад

I'll have to look at the text there to see what it says. Which Arban edition do you have?

I have the problem where some of the notes i'm playing are sharp, and some are flat(mostly the higher the note, the more flat it gets). I have played for a year at home but just recently got aware of the tuning. Do you have any tips on how to balance that?

@JoshRzepkaMusic Год назад

If you haven't been playing for too long, and just started using a tuner then it's just a matter of practice and learning to develop your ears. To that end, when practicing scales being able to hear in tune whole step and half steps very clearly in your mind will help you - but go slowly. I recommend continuing to use the tuner, as well as experimenting with playing with a drone (a static pitch that you play/tune to), these will help you to continue develop your ear. At a more practical level, just being aware of the tendencies of the horn (some notes can be sharp/flat as a matter of compromise within the construction) will also help you out.

Do we need to open the slide out before blowing the note and then adjust or we keep it close. Sorry i m quite new to trumpet.Thanx

@JoshRzepkaMusic 3 года назад

Hi Raktim, the slide for most people will be around 1/4 to 1/2 an inch pulled out. This can vary depending on the player, as well as temperature and other factors. Best best is to use a tuner and play to see where you are, then adjust as needed.

@raktimparashar 3 года назад

@@JoshRzepkaMusic Thank you for writing back. Really appreciate your help. Will do that. Also do we need to tune in every time we start practicing or we just tune it and maintain the position of the slide

@JoshRzepkaMusic 3 года назад

@@raktimparasharglad to help. It doesn’t hurt to tune often, of course every time you play with other people you should tune, but at home once you get a sense for where it usually is you shouldn’t have to adjust it all that often.

@raktimparashar 3 года назад

@@JoshRzepkaMusic Thanx a lot. You have been of great help. Will do that for sure.Thanx again!

@jillybet3 Год назад

Hi Josh, I was wondering if the distance you are from the tuner when tuning matters?

@JoshRzepkaMusic Год назад

Distance shouldn't make any difference. Distance can affect the amplitude of a sound wave, but that is what determines the loudness, the dB level. The frequency is what the pitch is, and that isn't affected by distance.

Hi i have a Bb trumpet with no tuning sound what should i do

@JoshRzepkaMusic Год назад

Hmm ... no tuning slide at all? That's unusual. Sometimes the slide could be in a less than standard place, like in some cornets, or a tuning bell trumpet. What brand/type of trumpet have you got?
