A Trumpet has 3 keys that are used to play it. there are many combinations which the keys are pressed and each combination results in a different note. Learning the different combinations is the hardest part of learning any instrument. Once you memorize the notes and which keys are pushed to make them, it becomes easier to learn to play. If you have the ambition to learn, the confidence that you can, and the patience to take the time to learn, You will enjoy playing any instrument that you try to play! have fun with it.

Can a tuba player be a trumpet player and visversa Isn't it hard. because i am a trumpet player but switching to Tuba?

Yes - on the plus side you don't need to learn new valvle combinations or how to make a sound on the instrument. However, you will find that there is a difference in your embechoure (to do with the mouthpiece on tuba being considerably bigger), you will have to blow harder to get the air moving in the tuba. Also, you may find that the tuba has a 4th valve, which is on the side adn played with the left hand (this is the same as playing 1 and 3, so for a low D you can just use 4th valve, and for a C# use 4th and 2nd). You will also have to learn bass clef. However, these are all things that are quick to learn, and with a grounding in trumpet you will probably find that you will be proficient on tuba in a much shorter length of time than it took to learn trumpet in the first place. Good luck and have fun!


How does a tuba make noise?

A tuba makes a sound when the musician buzzes their lips into the mouth piece. The buzzing plus exhaling breath sends vibrational waves of air through the tuba eventually exiting through the bell of the tuba as the noise you hear. The pitch is controlled by how tightly the musician buzzes and the length of horn the vibrational wave must travel, which can be changed by using different combinations of valves. The volume is changed by how hard the musician exhales into the tuba.
