Sound on a brass instrument is made by buzzing. Here's how:

1. Press your lips together firmly.

2. Blow a little air through the center of your lips (the embouchure).

This should sound a little like a kazoo or a duck. If it does, you're doing it right!

If it isn't making a buzzing sound, experiment with using more air or pressing your lips together more firmly until you buzz.

To play the instrument, you buzz into the mouthpiece. The overall pipes of the instrument amplify and clarify the tone. The valves (or slide) change the pitch so that every note is playable.

The tuning slide adjusts pitch to stay in tune with other musicians. The water key lets out the condensation and spit. Yuck!

How sound is produced on a brass instrument and how is different from woodwind?

In woodwind instruments like the saxophone, clarinet, bassoon etc. the sound is produced when the reed vibrates against the mouthpiece. Coupled with the shape, and material of the instrument it will produce a different timbre. Brass instruments are slightly different. With brass instruments like a trumpet, euphonium, tuba - there is no reed. Instead, the mouthpiece is a single fixture and works kind of like this **Note: I am a bassoonist, saxist, and pianist. I've never put my mouth on a brass mouthpiece so I'm sorry if it is vague. Brass players don't just blow into the instrument like woodwinds do, but they instead have to "buzz" the mouthpiece. Basically what that means is that they blow through their tightly pressed lips to make the "buzz". So the main reason why the sound is different in brass and woodwind instruments is because of the playing technique.
