The trumpet is a great instrument: with 130 cm of brass wound up, a cup mouthpiece and three valves, you can play wild jazz solos, powerful brass music or festive Christmas trumpet sounds. The trumpet is used almost everywhere and there is countless literature for all levels of difficulty, whether in classical music, pop/rock or jazz. You get to know your body in a completely new way, especially your own breathing, because playing the trumpet also requires physical effort.

Frequently asked questions
-
Do you offer trumpet lessons for children?
The joy of trying things out and discovering new things is our main focus. Especially with the trumpet, the children try out a lot at the beginning. How do I put my lips to the mouthpiece? How much pressure do I exert? How hard do I have to blow to get a sound? All of this is learnt intuitively in the first lesson through trial and error.
Our professional Teachers are all trained in music education and incorporate technique and theory into the lessons in a child-orientated and didactically sensible way.
You can start directly if your child has already decided which instrument they would like to play. If your child is still unsure which instrument they would like to play, we recommend attending the Instrument carousels.
-
Are there trumpet lessons for adults?
Did you learn to play the trumpet as a child and then stop at some point? No matter whether you want to learn a specific piece on the trumpet or become part of an orchestra or marching band: We offer personalised trumpet lessons designed exclusively for you.
If, for professional or family reasons, you would prefer to come to lessons at longer intervals rather than weekly, we also have a solution for this: Our Prepaid cards. Talk to your teacher or ask our friendly colleagues in the office for more information.
We also offer lessons online so that you can pursue your hobby from the comfort of your own home. We are flexible and customise our offer to your needs.
-
Can I learn to play the trumpet with you as a beginner?
Even if you have no previous knowledge, this is not a problem. Getting started on the trumpet is comparatively easy: most people are able to play their first notes relatively quickly and if their finger coordination is good, they can learn even simple pieces quickly. Our teachers will also help you choose your own instrument.
We pay attention to the correct position of the instrument and solid breathing technique, but we won't drill you until you don't feel like it anymore. With us, you'll be making music from the very first lesson!
-
Do you also teach advanced students?
Have you already played the trumpet and mastered basic technical skills? Then you've come to the right place! Our experienced trumpet teachers will adapt to you and your previous knowledge and work with you towards your musical goals.
Would you like to improve your performance and prepare specifically for an exam, audition or concert? We offer you professional teachers who will help you make targeted progress. -
