How difficult will it be to switch from tenor sax to trumpet?

Well I play both trumpet and saxophone. I started out on trumpet and grasping the embochure is not really all that hard but it may be difficult for a sax player to change octaves on trumpet. I'd say that changing octaves on trumpet is the hardest part. You would also need a good lung capacity. Here are some things I recommend getting before you begin playing: 1.)valve oil(this could be lamp oil in a small empty drop bottle with 1-3 drops of machine oil mixed in) [this is also cheaper] 2.)slide grease(Vaseline will do fine) 3.)possible mouthpeice & snake brush 4.)possible polishing cloth the last two are optional

How are the trumpet and flute similar?

There is very little similarity between a trumpet and a flute other than that they are both musical instruments, they are both constructed of metal (but different metals), and they both use air in motion to produce sound. The trumpet, however, is usually placed with the horns, or brass instruments, while the flute is considered a woodwind. The mouthpiece of the trumpet is blown directly into, the flute is blown across. The trumpet uses valves to alter the pitch, the flute, keys. The trumpet usually starts at F# (below middle C) and has a range of 2 1/2 octaves. The flute begins at middle C with a range of 3 octaves. The trumpet uses an exponentially flared horn at the exit end to amplify sound. The flute uses no amplification system. The air channel of the trumpet is coiled, the flute, straight.

What song does the people on base play with the trumpet?

I'm not sure what your question was... so I'll assume you're asking about the way to properly transpose Bass music (again, string bass, or what?). Bass is a C, non-transposing instrument, and trumpet is a Bb transposing instrument in a higher clef, so you'll need to start on the note written for bass, write it one or two octaves higher to the same note in the treble clef, and then move it up two half steps for the trumpet to play the same sounding note as the bass. (obviously a few octaves higher) Did this help?


Why is a tuba deeper than a trumpet?

Larger (longer and wider) pipes have a lower resonant frequency than smaller ones. The typical "trumpet" (which is often actually a cornet) plays about two octaves higher than a typical tuba.
