 | Tone Having problem getting a good tone, a lot of garble. My teacher said my lips are too tight and to practice blowing into the back end of the mouthpiece as a drill. Any other suggested drills? |

| Re: Tone Does your teacher play the trumpet? I think pedal tones would be helpful. Long tones as well. And play your mouthpiece off the horn. Play these as softly as you can. veery |

| Re: Tone Pedal tones are pitches below low F#. The trumpet does not resonate for them and to play them requires relaxed chops. Here's a link to an audio file by Eric Bolvin: http://www.bolvinmusic.com/samplez/ptones.mp3 veery |

| Re: Tone I agree with all of the above and would add that you need to be listening to fine trumpet players in order to get a concept of what you want to sound like. |
