A trumpet's sound carries through a home, so agree on practice times that work for everyone. A practice mute can reduce the sound when others need quiet, but it does not make the trumpet silent. For upkeep, learn to empty accumulated moisture, keep the mouthpiece clean with a mouthpiece brush and follow the maker's directions for cleaning and finish care.
