- Mouthpiece- player blows and vibrates their lips to make a sound
- Valves- control the flow of air in different directions (affects the trumpet's pitch)
- --> once air leaves the valve area, it travels through the tubing towards the funnel (amplifies and resonates the sound)
- *sound exits through the funnel and sound is refined*
- Pipe- shorter, higher sounds; lengthened, lower pitch
1) steam - without blowing, no sound will be produced
2) lips - it has to vibrate quickly in a circular position
3) position of lips - tight/loose (create different pitches)
Vibration - higher notes, lips are tighter and opening is very small - lowr notes, lips are more loose and relaxed ( vibrates more slowly )

- Tube length is inversely proportional to the wave length
- Standard length of a trumpet is 148 cm
- Frequency is 170 Hz - 1K
- Tube length = speed of sound divided by (2 x frequency) + tube diameter divided by 2 (Speed of sound is 13150.270)
