Customer Reviews:
  1. wonderful little Sax!!
    This toy/instrument was a big hit. My six year old nephew loved it, even though he is probably on the older end of the age bracket this product was intended for. It really helps the child use his mind/memorization, using color coded pieces and directions for playing popular songs. Great product
  2. Like all "Bontempi" instruments!
    This is part of our collection which includes this Saxophone, a trumpet, a clarinet, and violin. Our 6-year old twins have used them since Christmas 2006 and we all enjoy them. Not too loud and challenging enough to keep them interested (have to blow and hold keys at same time).

How old should a child be to learn to play the trumpet?

My son has been exposed to different musical instruments within a formal class, and he wants to learn the trumpet. He is 7 yrs old-is he too young for this instrument?


Nope! If he wants to learn how to play, he's old enough to learn. But before you invest in an actual trumpet, buy a trumpet mouth piece from a music store and tell him he has to build up his "lip" for playing the trumpet before he can play. Have him try to hit low

Valrico Trumpet Player Releases Debut CD

And, when the trumpet section would play, I’d start clapping.”

What started as a childhood hobby would eventually lead to a career — including the recent release of his first CD and a launch party to be held this weekend.

“We lived in Lancaster, Ky., a small town of 3,000 people, and there wasn’t anything to do after school, so I came home and played the trumpet,” he recalled. “I guess it was just a God-given gift.”

He recalls playing Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass albums as a child in 1965, trying to imitate Alpert's trumpet style.

“I became really good at it,” he said.

He continued playing trumpet in his high school marching and jazz bands, then headed to Morehead State University where, for the first time, he had formal music training.

“In college, I started getting some notoriety and compliments for my music, and I decided playing the trumpet was what I wanted to do for a living,” he said. “As a kid, I was told I should have a backup plan but I never really had one. I just wanted to play the trumpet.

Trumpet Christmas Music – Inspire Your Young Musician To Practice ...

“But I don’t want to practice!”

How many times have parents heard these words from their young musicians?! There’s an easy way to get your youngster to practice without any nagging whatsoever AND it has the added benefit of getting everyone into the holiday spirit. Buy your child a book of trumpet Christmas music! I guarantee he or she will be eager to play these familiar songs and, without even realizing what’s happening, your child will be practicing.

There are some guidelines you want to follow when buying music for your child to play to ensure fun and avoid frustration. A private teacher or band director can be invaluable in choosing music but, just in case that isn’t convenient, I’ll give you some things to think about when making a choice.

Be sure that the music is at the appropriate level for your young brass player. Just because he or she knows the song doesn’t mean that they will be able to play it. It is especially important in brass music to make sure that the music doesn’t include high notes that your child doesn’t have the ability to play yet. High notes require a certain amount of muscle strength and development that takes time to build. It just can’t be rushed. Nothing is more frustrating that having a new book of fun music that you can’t play.
