learn the basics, over the shoulder
The guided path teaches you the trumpet step by step. These hand-picked beginner videos show the same basics on a real horn — the first buzz, your first five notes and fingerings, and lip slurs.
These are wonderful teachers' own videos, chosen for the basics and embedded here with a link to their channels. Atlas gives you the path and the practice; they give you the demonstration.
