Trumpet - who can play the trumpet - ages ?

 

What age can I start playing the trumpet ?Both adults and children should find a minimum of 15 minutes 5 days a week to practise the trumpet- without this fingering positions and mouthpiece lip pressures being learnt disappear from short term memory. Children arer sometimes more patient though- an essential part of learning a trumpet is not to have too many expectations but to go with the flow and be content with small improvements week by week
Adults find certain aspects of trumpe playing easier to learn at first than children - fingering and blowing control and lip control is easier for adults but memorising trumpet pieces is generally easier for children .
Children - From 7 years most have their adult front teeth and enough lung capacity to manage the blowing . A teacher should give the child a 10 min or lung capacity test if a border line age
Fingering is relatively simple compared to a guitar or piano for instance - blowing is also therapeutic - in fact many doctors recommend wind instruments to  help cure asthma


Would my suitable child enjoy playing the trumpet?
if your child has been exposed to trumpet playing and express an interest in playing it. its worth taking that seriously. If not possibly find a jazz band nearby and give your child some exposure and see his her reaction

Each instrument express an overall different emotive quality.
Clearly the trumpet has a certain boldness, out there, assertive  quality about the sound. It might be that a child chooses it for that reason as a reflection of that part of them or for the reason they instinctively want to be "bolder". The "soul and personality quality "if one could call it that of different sounds shouldnt be discounted -that one of the aspects of orchestras - bands  the interplay of all these instruments with clearly very different emotive effects on the listeners of all the varying instruments
