    Hi all.

    Just a quick question.. THinking of taking up the trumpet but dont really have any theoretical background. Is that totally necessary to be able to learn the trumpet or is it an "easy" instrument to Learn..

    It's really not an easy instrument to learn. In the past I taught myself guitar, fiddle, a good few wind instruments and some percussion. With the trumpet I went for lessons. I only took ten but that was enough to give me a solid grounding to work from. They'll teach you how to breathe, posture so you don't do yourself damage, how to hit certain notes, make certain tones.

    Saying that some of the greatest trumpeters in history we're self taught but i'd say at least give the lessons a try, what you'll learn can only benefit you.

    You could always try the "self teach" way with an instructional book & DVD combo like this > http://www.musicridge.com/trumpet.htm

    It's not as easy as it looks - a trumpet may only have 3 valves but the trick is in how you breath and control your lips to get more notes. But once you get the hang of it you'll fly along.

    I hope your neighbours are safe distance away!!!!

    Best of luck - and keep at it..........
