Musical Instruments- Part 2, Trumpet

    Hi everyone! This is Hyeyoon PARK. In my last blog, I introduced the instrument that I used to play. In this post, I would like to introduce the trumpet, a friend of the trombone. If you have seen jazz performances, you probably know the trumpet. In South Korea, the trumpet is well known as a sound that soldiers hear when they wake up. 

    The trumpet is an instrument with clear and sharp sounds. Trumpets usually play high-pitched ranges, but when it's playing mid- to low-pitched notes, it provides stable sounds to people. I majored in trumpet for a while. I think the trumpet is a very interesting instrument. The trumpet is also a brass instrument like the trombone. It is an instrument that plays with the wind blowing through the lips. The trumpet adjusts the sound with three pistons. Since it is played with a piston, it is also possible to play fast-tempo songs.

    This is the picture of me and the trumpet. As you can see the trumpet's color is silver. In addition, the gold color trumpet's sound is more warm and soft than silver. The trumpet is an instrument that is very hard to play. This is because the mouthpiece is smaller than the trombone. I will share one of my favorite concertos played by the trumpet.

Trumpet Concerto

    Did you enjoy the concerto? This concerto is a really famous concerto for trumpet. It is very hard to play because it contains many high notes. In my opinion, the concerto that is hard to play is more interesting to listen to.

    Which instrument's sound better to you? The trombone or the trumpet?
