The Trumpet is believed to originate from Egypt in 1500 BC and was used mostly for military purposes such as announcing battle. In the late 1300's metal trumpets started to be regarded as a musical instrument. The way that a trumpet is played is that the musician "buzzes" their lips while pushing air through their mouth into the mouthpiece. And then the notes can be controlled by air speeding/lip formation, while pushing down the valves on the top of the trumpet.
