Is it harder to play trumpet with braces?
Playing Trumpet With Braces
Braces affect trumpet players more than any other instrument. This is due to the size of a trumpet's mouthpiece and the way it is used. Players have to press their lips into a small mouthpiece and buzz their lips to create noise, which becomes challenging with added metal brackets.
Can you play the trumpet if you have braces?
YES! Your child can play the trumpet with braces, but it's going to take careful coordination between you, your child and your orthodontist. Playing wind or brass instruments while wearing braces is no fun.
What is a 3C trumpet mouthpiece good for?
The Bach 3C Trumpet Mouthpiece is ideal for all-around use. In addition to its medium cup, this model has a #10 backbore that produces a rich, full, clear tone. "C" models are preferred by many players that alternate between Bb, C, and D trumpets.
