Each band instrument has something intriguing to offer, whether it be what it is made of, the shape of the instrument itself, where that particular instrument section sits in the band, the sound that is produced when the musical instrument is played, and much more. So why play the trumpet? There are many great reasons to play trumpet in school band:<\/p>\n<p class=\"color2-color\">\u2666 Trumpets are loud. They can be heard over drums, guitars, crowds and more. No matter where you are playing (a stadium, a park, indoors, etc), trumpets are easily heard in any setting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"color2-color\">\u2666 Because the trumpet is loud, most times it&#8217;s the lead instrument, playing the melody in the majority of situations. But counter melodies and harmony parts are fun to play on the trumpet too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"color2-color\">\u2666 You don&#8217;t need a lot of stuff to play a trumpet. All you need is the trumpet, a mouthpiece, and valve oil, and you&#8217;re good to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"color2-color\">\u2666 Trumpets are fairly easy to tote around. The case is about the size of a small airplane carry-on, so it&#8217;s a breeze to get from one place to another with your trumpet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"color2-color\">\u2666 Trumpets sound great and can play in just about any genre and\/or style of music &#8212; jazz, rock, R &amp; B, orchestra, opera, wind ensemble, chamber group &#8212; you name it, a trumpet adapts well to it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"color2-color\">\u2666 Playing trumpet adds to your core strength and improves your lung capacity, giving you a healthy workout. You&#8217;re not only using your mind, but you&#8217;re also using some important muscles when you&#8217;re playing the trumpet. And if you march with your trumpet, you&#8217;re getting an even better workout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"color2-color\">\u2666 While there is a broad range of prices for all the musical instruments, trumpets, in general, are reasonably priced and attainable to most everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-3 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 col-lg-3\" style=\"padding: 0em;\">\n<div class=\"bg-box\">\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left; margin: 0px -25px; padding-bottom: 3em;\"><a class=\"btn-color-1 btn btn-3d bg-text-fx bg-text-fx-closeheavy btn-longshadow btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/artsmusicshop.com\/resources\/all-about-band-instruments\/all-about-the-trumpet\/renting-a-trumpet-from-arts-music-shop\/\">Renting a Trumpet<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left; margin: 0px -25px; padding-bottom: 3em;\"><a class=\"btn-color-1 btn btn-3d bg-text-fx bg-text-fx-closeheavy btn-longshadow btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/artsmusicshop.com\/resources\/all-about-band-instruments\/all-about-the-trumpet\/trumpet-care-maintenance-tips\/\">Trumpet Care &amp; Maintenance Tips <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left; margin: 0px -25px; padding-bottom: 3em;\"><a class=\"btn-color-1 btn btn-3d bg-text-fx bg-text-fx-closeheavy btn-longshadow btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/artsmusicshop.com\/resources\/all-about-band-instruments\/all-about-the-trumpet\/trumpet-repair-advice\/\">Trumpet Repair Advice <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left; margin: 0px -25px; padding-bottom: 3em;\"><a class=\"btn-color-1 btn btn-3d bg-text-fx bg-text-fx-closeheavy btn-longshadow btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/artsmusicshop.com\/resources\/all-about-band-instruments\/all-about-the-trumpet\/trumpet-fingering-chart\/\">Trumpet Fingering Chart<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left; margin: 0px -25px; padding-bottom: 3em;\"><a class=\"btn-color-1 btn btn-3d bg-text-fx bg-text-fx-closeheavy btn-longshadow btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/artsmusicshop.com\/resources\/all-about-band-instruments\/all-about-the-trumpet\/trumpet-video-resources\/\">Trumpet Video Resources <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left; margin: 0px -25px; padding-bottom: 3em;\"><a class=\"btn-color-1 btn btn-3d bg-text-fx bg-text-fx-closeheavy btn-longshadow btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/artsmusicshop.com\/resources\/all-about-band-instruments\/all-about-the-trumpet\/pdf-resources-for-trumpet\/\">PDF Resources for Trumpet<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left; margin: 0px -25px; padding-bottom: 3em;\"><a class=\"btn-color-1 btn btn-3d bg-text-fx bg-text-fx-closeheavy btn-longshadow btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/artsmusicshop.com\/resources\/all-about-band-instruments\/all-about-the-trumpet\/essentials-for-the-advancing-trumpet-player\">Essentials for Advancing Players&nbsp; <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left; margin: 0px -25px;\"><a class=\"btn-color-1 btn btn-3d bg-text-fx bg-text-fx-closeheavy btn-longshadow btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/artsmusicshop.com\/coming-soon\">Rent Your Trumpet Online<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Play the Trumpet?
