About

The purpose of Trumpet Heroes is to help you learn to play the trumpet, or perhaps just to learn more about the Trumpet. Whether you’re learning a band instrument for the first time or returning to an old hobby, the content on this site is here to help you.

It’s a very loosely organized collection of things that people – mainly students – have asked me to explain, most of which have some bearing on Trumpets or Trumpet playing. I might digress from time to time or slide into a rant … you have the power to click past that stuff so no apologies here. My daughter attempts to keep me on track and to make sure that I do whatever the bots want me to do. Blame anything you don’t like on the bots.

This site is published by Jim, an orchestral trumpet player and mostly retired high school band teacher.
