How do you play taps on a b flat trumpet?

Answer 1

All the notes are open!

Start with G (it's the second lowest open note)

You also need to play one partial up from that (C)

Another partial higher (E)

And the one above that (G)

G G C ...

G C E ...

G C E, G C E, G C E...

C, E, G...

G, E, C...

G, G, C.

Answer 2

I'm assuming you know the rhythm of taps. It starts on a G on the second line(for Clarinet, F for concert pitch), and continues with your C, and E. Then your G, space directly above the staff, and back down. So: G G C G C E G C E G C E G C E E E G G E C G G G C G G C Hopefully that'll help. If it doesn't you can play the Trumpet's music. You're both B-flat instruments.

Answer 3

You transpose it and play it an octave lower. Still gets the same point across - and just as meaningful.

Answer 4

Since it's a tune that can be played based on harmonic series, you can play taps "open" which is how it's usually played. To play in a lower key you can simply use valves 1 and 2 or even 1 and 3 pushed down the whole time and play it just as if you were playing it open.

Answer 5

it is easy because all the notes are open. just start at the g in the staff, move to c, then to the g above the staff, then up to the next open note. then you play it in reverse going down. hope i helped
