How to play the different open trumpet notes?

How many notes can a trumpet play?

  • I recently started playing trumpet and I'm trying to figure out how many notes are in the trumpet range.Thnx.

  • Answer:

    Ohhh, good question :) Let's start with how much your body is willing to take :) There are trumpet players out there like Fergusen (Who died last year, and I met!) that can play as high as possible. It's truely up to your breath control on what you can do. My daughter can play very low, and very high depending on her.. weariness, willingness, and bored-ness :P The number of notes the TRUMPET can play is infinite, the number of notes you can play is dependant on you. :) ~DS and Kat

The typical range covers two and a half octaves, from F# below the staff to the high C above the staff. However, some great trumpet players have had ranges of seven octaves, from three Cs below the staff to three Cs above the staff.

It depends on how many valves you have: 1=2 3=8 4=16 5=38
