What are some tips on tounging 32nd notes on the trumpet?

In order to tongue so fast, trumpet players will often use what's called "double tonguing". This technique is usually pretty difficult to master at first, so the best way to practice it and to gradually improve is to say "tiki tiki tiki tiki" over and over again, without the trumpet or mouthpiece. After awhile, try adding in the mouthpiece, but not buzzing. Then add the trumpet without buzzing. Then try buzzing and tonguing at the same time. It takes time to learn, but once you master it, it's a very good skill to have. Good luck! Keep up the trumpet playing!

How do you get a quarter unstuck from a trumpet?

I take it that the quarter was dropped into the bell end of the trumpet. If you haven't tried to dislodge it by poking at it with a long stick, coat hanger or other means, you may be able to un-stick it by using a hair dryer to heat the bell where the quarter is stuck. After heating for a couple of minutes, thump the bell against a carpeted floor or other cushioned surface. If it doesn't come out on the first try, allow everything to cool about 30 minutes and try again. Hope this helps!
