So, you're here to find out which is the easiest brass instrument to learn? Well, we all have a love for music; either performing, wanting to perform, or merely listening and appreciating. Every member of staff here at Normans Musical Instruments is a musician.
Personally, I have the most eclectic love of musical taste. Once this has been achieved, it is then a case of how to change the pitch. The cheapest, smallest and lightest member of the Brass family, and easily the most popular. These instruments include flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, and trombone. These instruments are the most common instruments to begin playing because they are fairly easy to learn, but they still take decades to master. The nice part about learning a Big 5 instrument is that it creates a pathway to learning other instruments later on.
Many musicians start with one instrument in beginning band and decide to switch to another. All instruments become much easier to learn when supplemented with private lessons. Read below for the pros and cons of most beginning band instruments. This is a concept meant to demonstrate the proper balance for a concert band, with the highest-pitched instruments at the top, and the lowest-pitched instruments at the bottom. The lower instruments provide a solid foundation and support for the ensemble, thus should be louder, and the higher instruments need to play softer in order to blend with the rest of the ensemble.
One thing to keep in mind with this chart is that certain instruments can end up in different places in the pyramid of sound depending on what part they play on a given piece. This is the smallest and highest-sounding instrument in the band. Flute players will typically stay in the very top of the pyramid of sound, and they usually have the melody in a piece. PROS — Small, easy to carry when in case. Relatively inexpensive to rent. CONS — This is one of the more difficult instruments to start on in beginning band.
Some students cannot play this instrument well due to facial characteristics lip size, etc. Ask a band teacher or music store associate if your student could try the instrument first before committing. This is a double reed instrument, about the same size as a flute or clarinet when assembled. Oboe players will typically stay in the very top of the pyramid of sound, and they usually have the melody in a piece.
Not as many students play this instrument, so more opportunities to play in groups. CONS — Somewhat difficult to play at times. However, you will need more control over your embouchure when playing in the upper register. That means you have to learn more fingerings than you would on an instrument with three valves, but the extra valve can help with the intonation of the euphonium. The French horn is one of the most demanding brass instruments, and it may or may not be the hardest.
Like the tuba, the French horn has a lot of tubing and requires good air support to get a note to sound. That tubing can also make hitting the correct partial more difficult than on other brass instruments. One of the more comfortable aspects of the French horn is playing an expressive piece of music. Its timbre lends itself well to playing slow, lyrical solos. You can experiment with many different tone colors, and you can use your hand to help get the sound you want.
Single horns can also be harder to play in the upper register. The trumpet is a little harder to learn, but I feel that the satisfaction of picking up the saxophone fast will benefit you in your interest to jazz. The trumpet will be easier on the wallet, but the sax is easier to pick up and play. The 7C is slightly deeper with a slightly narrower cup diameter, and a much sharper, more precise rim.
Many people do not like that aspect of the 7C, especially those who tend toward using pressure. As others have said, 7C is generally regarded as a good beginner size.
The 3C cup is significantly shallower than the 5C cup. It might feel smaller, because it has a sharper bite and different rim contour, but most 5C mouthpieces actually have a larger, deeper cup than the 3C. Clarify your ideal tone for your music, and narrow down the choice of rim size and cup depth. Clarifying your ideal tone is the first thing you have to do for selecting a mouthpiece.
Generally, the larger mouthpiece is often played for lower registers, and the smaller mouthpiece is played for the higher registers. Many trumpet players try to achieve high notes by putting more pressure on the mouthpiece.
This may make the volume increase, but it will do very little to heighten the sound. Instead, focus on controlling the airflow from your lungs through your lips. A player using a medium-large bore Bb or C trumpet or a Bb cornet should generally use a mouthpiece no shallower than the Bach C cup and preferably, slightly deeper cups such as a B or A.
One exception is for musicians who continually play in the extreme high register and desire a brighter sound. Can you play trumpet with big lips? Yes, you can play trumpet with big and full-sized lips. Acclimating yourself 2 the trumpet is a personal experience Where each beginner must go through trial and error 2 pinpoint what works where are you specifically. Mouthpieces make a difference for sure.
