Um... Something my cousin taught me is, about once a week if you fill a bathroom sink with water and play into it, then it helps with your lung capacity... And I have a question... or three... How are the "E", "B", and "Gb" scales fingered?

SaxySoul for practicing for longer notes, I don't suggest breathing in for five second then out five seconds, because if you take that long to get all of the air in, you'll never be able to preform a peice of music properly. you obviously don't understand what the exercise is supposed to accomplish, and therefore most of what you said is practically invalid. the idea behind "breathing in for 5 and out for 5" is to INCREASE your LUNG CAPACITY and your BREATH CONTROL. it IS NOT meant to help you play the music properly (although if you are able to use more air and make it last longer, your music will benefit). filling your lungs as fast as you can, while most people start a piece of music this way, IS NOT how you should do it. you should be able to anticipate when the director will start the song, meaning you have plenty of time to fill your lungs. you don't want to start too early though, and have air going stale inside of your lungs. if you have stale air in your lungs, you won't be able to play as long.

BRANDS OF TRUMPETS
This is just a list of trumpet brands that are said to be some of the best trumpets to purchase. Hope you like it.
THERE IS NONE!!!
The brand of trumpet that is the best is one that is comfortable for you. Every trumpet has a different sound, weight, and is made of different material (usually either brass or silver). So, if you are ever shopping for a trumpet, look up its stats. Check if it's da right instrument for you. But, since I kinda did promise you for brands, here are a few that I know.
>Bach
>Yamaha
>King
>Schilke
Hope dat helps.

I don't like to argue with people I've never met and, for all I know, could be very nice people. I apologise for the misunderstanding and miscommunication. I said that I didn't reccomend "I don't suggest breathing in for five second then out five seconds" when practicing for longer notes- I never said that the tip was useless and I never said that longer notes is what the tip was for. I put that in there for beginners who might think that that indeed is what the perticuler excersise is meant to be. Again, I apologise for the misscommunication. I should have made myself more clear. It's my fault entirely, now can we please just leave it be, Live and let live, blah blah blah?

Wandering_Soul474 My first word of advice (im so happy, jk). MOUTHPIECES 1. I'd recomend this for every new player. Ur base mouthpiece most ppl start with is a 7-C mouthpiece. Now, since da mouthpiece is actually pretty small, if you have maybe a bigger mouth, I's suggest switching to a bigger mouth piece. The mouthpiece you use should be da right size so you can be comfortble, and so you can play better. I myself moved from a 7-C to a 3-C mouthpiece, and it has really helped me improve. 2. For more advice, ask a band director, a music teacher, or a music store for any help with mouthpiece info, so you can find da right fit for you, if you really need it. rofl rofl rofl rofl scream well...i am worried about this post first you shouldn't just pick a large or small mouth piece if you have big or small lips deep mouth pieces have a mellow tone so should be used when you need to sound really mellow shallow mouth pieces make your tone brighter and improve your range. i wouldn't recommend all new players use a deep mouth piece if they can sound good with a shallow one. and if you have a hard time using a shallow mouth piece you shouldn't use a deep one you should practice and get good enough to use a shallow on

toco clarinet Wandering_Soul474 3. KEY SIGNATURE: Look @ da key signature. Find out the tempo, beats per measure (whether it being 4/4, Common Time, or even sometimes 16/ cool , look for the number of flats or sharps in the music (try to remember your scales so this will become easier). ...tempo and beats per measure is not part of the key signature e.e....there is an entirely different thing called "time signature" that tells you how many and of what value the beats will be. tempo is written above both of those and typically changes pretty frequently throughout pieces of music >_> i would consider it a part of the time signature, though, as opposed to the "key signature" which only tells you how many flats/sharps will be assumed in your piece of music. P.S. it's spelled "crescendo" and "decrescendo" decrescendo is spelled exactly the same way, but with the prefix "de". ya, and also 4/4 and common time is the same at least for now....someday it could change
