You don't need a lot of equipment to get started with trumpet lessons. Students should have:

• A trumpet or cornet in good working condition

• A mouthpiece

• A music stand

• A tuner and metronome (phone apps are fine)

• A pencil

• Any music or method books currently being used

Don't Have Everything Yet?

That's okay. If you're a new student, you don't need to purchase a lot of equipment before your first lesson.

If you need help choosing a trumpet, mouthpiece, practice mute, or other equipment, check out my Recommended Equipment page or ask me during your lesson. I'm happy to help you figure out what actually makes sense for your playing and budget.

There's no need to buy expensive equipment just to get started.
