This is a matter of discussion. Your lips are used to set up a sinusoidal pressure wave in the Trumpet, but nothing in the trumpet tubing vibrates to produce the sound. Modern testing shows that the pressure forms into "standing waves" which produce the sound when they hit the bell area where the standing waves are amplified to reproduce the pressure waves again.

Where does the sound come out of a trumpet?

The way that the saxophone makes a noise is when the player puts their mouth on the mouthpiece, and the reed vibrates, sending waves of air through the saxophone, making a sound. The different pitches of the saxophone, or the different notes are determined when the saxophone player presses down fingering, therefor making the instrument shorter or longer. The way that the trumpet makes a noise is pretty much the same as the saxophone, only the players lips vibrate against the mouthpiece, instead of the reed. The trumpet player goes though different notes by moving the 3 valves, and loosening or tightening their lips. By pressing down the valves, the trumpet player makes different pathways throughout the trumpet. To make a higher sound, you have to tighten your lips, and to go lower, you have to loosen your lips.


Is a trumpet mellodie or harmonie?

Trumpets are known for being loud! As a result, composers usually write the trumpet part as the melody part. If it was the harmony part, it would take over the whole band. Note: in a piece with multiple trumpet parts (Trumpet 1, Trumpet 2, etc.), only the first trumpet part will be the melody. Usually, the lower parts will have lower notes, and they will play the harmony.
