| Simple, buy a beginner trumpet book or better yet get a teacher to show you. | ||

For example: G1 = lowest octave G on trumpet, meaning it would be played 1&3 G2 = the G in the staff, meaning it would be played open G3 = the G on top of the staff, also played open G4 = super G, probably not possible to hit as a beginner, but played open as well People have different ways of writing tabs, but for the most part, a dash means flat, and a + means sharp. Sometimes a "b" and a "#" are also used. See here: http://horntabs.net/viewarticle.cgi?id=2 You know which fingerings to use because each octave/note has a specific fingering. (There are always alternate fingerings, but that's beside the point.) If you don't know the fingerings, definitely learn and memorize/know them by practicing while looking at a fingering chart (found in music books and the web, even here on horntabs). Well, hope that helped. |

i gues you dont haaavvvve to, but since you dont have musical background, learning trumpet might require you getting a teacher, or at least someone who can help you get started. have you ever played a trumpet at all before? a lot of people are surprised that you dont just put air through it to make noise, but have to buzz. -jannelle |

True, you don't absolutely have to learn the names of notes, you could just memorize fingerings. But if you ever want to understand music and become more than a mediocre player, than learning notes is kind of like the foundation. As for knowing which notes are which, see this:  A good way to memorize your notes is that the notes going up on every line in the staff (the staff is the five lines) make EGBDF, which can stand for Every Good Boy Does Fine (that's just what I learned, but you can think of something else if you want). The notes in all the spaces going up spells FACE. On that pic, only the first line applies to you; the approximate-maximum trumpet range starts at that first F and ends at the last A. As a beginner, your range for a while will most likely be around from the first A to the second-to-last G. As for sharps and flats: a "#" symbol will be in front of note to make it sharp, and a symbol resembling a lowercase "b" will be in front of a note to make it flat. As mentioned, a private teacher would be a very good idea. Just go to a music store and most likely, the people who work there also give lessons, or will at least recommend somebody to you. |

I forgot to add: In actual music pieces, when you see a "#" or "b" symbol in front of a note, they're called accidentals. They're not like "accidents" or anything, it's just that the proper way to write music would be to write it in a certain key, meaning you'll see a series of flat or sharp signs in the beginning of the first line. For example:  All seven sharps/flats is rare, you'll likely see music that has one or two signs. For instance, if there's two flat signs, then that means every B and every E will have to be played as flats (unless there's a natural accidental). The reason it's B and E is because there is a specific (and never-changing) order of flats and sharps (which are also listed on that pic). Again, a private teacher will explain all of this much better, but hope that answered some of your questions. |
