Many children can begin trumpet around ages eight to ten, when they can comfortably hold it, follow a short direction, and manage a mouthpiece without strain.

The free first lesson gives a North Plainfield student time to meet the teacher, talk about musical interests, and try a few simple trumpet sounds. In a typical week, the teacher listens to the current practice piece, helps with a specific issue such as breath or fingering, and chooses a manageable next goal. The student leaves knowing what to repeat, what to slow down, and how to prepare for the next lesson.
