Multiple Choice

What note is this and how do you play it (fingering)?

*Hint: it's on the second line of the treble clef*

• G; open

• A; 1 and 2

• B; 2

• C; open

The correct answer is G!

Our lines on the treble clef are "EGBDF." If we look at the second line, that note is G. We can play G on the trumpet by playing it "open." This means we are not pressing down any valves.

Multiple Choice

What note is this and how do you play it (fingering)?

*Hint: this note is one space below the bottom line of the treble clef*

• C; open

• D; 1 and 3

• E; 1 and 2

• G;open

The correct answer is D!

The space below the bottom line of the treble clef is D! You can play D on the trumpet using 1st and 3rd valves.

Multiple Choice

What note is this and how do you play it (fingering?)

• B; 2

• C; open

• A; 1 and 2

• E; 1 and 2

The correct answer is B!

The third line of the treble clef is B! We can play B by playing it middle valve. This is one of the notes we have played in Bad Romance and it is a higher note. We have to use faster air when we play it.

Multiple Choice

True or False: We should have tension when we play

• True

• False

The correct answer is False!

When we play, we should not try to force anything. We should have relaxed shoulders, a nice calm breath in through the mouth, and all of our focus should be on our air.

Multiple Choice

True or False: We should use supportive air when we play.

• True

• False

The correct answer is true!

When we play, we should work on having our best posture. We should be sitting up straight and having our feet flat on the floor. This will help us to get the most useful air. When we play, we should look across the room and try to get our sound to that point in the room.
