What do you do to your brass instrument to play different notes?

You can either press down or release valves , or you can adjust the slide on a trombone . You also can adjust the 'airspeed' to change the pitch without changing the valves or slide


What is different about the Trombone compared to the other brass instruments?

The trombone has a slide that can be moved to change the pitch of notes rather than valves or keys that lengthen the tubing to change the pitch of notes like other brass instruments. And there are a lot more than 3 other brass instruments.


How does a player alter his notes on a brass instrument?

Brass players can alter notes in two main ways. One is to press down a valve combination(move the slide on a trombone), the second is to change the embouchure. There are seven different valve combination(with a three valved instrument, the same things apply for the first three valves of a Euphonium and double horn, both of which have four valves). In order from Highest pitch to lowest pitch, they are open, 2nd valve, 1st valve, 1st and 2nd valve, 2nd and 3rd valve, 1st and 3rd valve, and 1st 2nd and 3rd valve. Then to reach other notes you tighten or loosen your your embouchure, it takes practice to figure out how to change pitch this way; however, both ways are required to be able to play any brass instrument. As you learn a brass instrument you should have someone listen to you to see if you are in the correct partial (your embouchure is correct).


How do you change the notes on a clarinet?

One only needs to press the keys while causing the reed to vibrate by allowing air across it. Clarinet is a cylindrical bore instrument and the more holes open the higher the pitch, vice versa as the holes close the pitch is lowered.


How do you play different notes that have the same fingering on a french horn?

It is not just to do with which buttons (valves) you press, it is also to do with the tightness and pressure of your lips on the mouthpiece. For example if you started playing a note and tightened your lips on the way up, you would get a number of different notes whilst holding down the same keys.

How does a piano player make the piano produce musical notes of different pitch?

Hi! In a piano there are lots of strings. The keys that you press make hammers hit those strings, and the vibration makes sound. The strings are of different lengths, so they each vibrate more or less, making the sound higher and lower in pitch. Hope this helps.
