Yo Whats Up... So Heres The Thing I Played The Trumpet From Like 4th Grade To 8th Grade I Was Really Dedicated To it I Was First Chair Trumpet When I Played In A Kid Orchestra I Was Pretty Damn Good... When I Got To High School I Stopped Playing. Its Been Almost 6 Years Since I Picked Up A Trumpet. I Have Pretty Much Forgot All The Musical Note/Pitches But I'm Pretty Sure I Can Still Hit All The Notes Of The Trumpet. But I Want To Get Back On To Playing. Is Their Any Book/DVD Out There To Put Me Back On Track? Thanks To All.

You will have to build up your emboucher again; but get a practice book that focuses on scales and arpeggios and you should be able to get back to where you were.

Get a hold of the Essential Element trumpet books. Start with book one and progress through book three. Book one comes with a DVD to get you started. All three books come with a CD to play along with.

Just get back to it, you can find a book at any music store, and it really doesn't take long to get you lips back in shape, practice regularly, and you be doing fine, You'll be surprised how easy it is to get started again. I stopped for 15 years, and decided to give it a shot. was amazed how easy it came back, like riding a bicycle. just get back on and ride...
