Trumpet Harmonic Series Overtones or Partials Chart This chart shows the pattern of notes that form the harmonic series or partials for the Bb trumpet with the very lowest pitches, which aren’t usually used on the trumpet, removed (fundamentals or pedal tones). Thanks for reading I hope you found this interesting and learnt something new. Take a look at this valve combination chart. No Valves 1st Valve 2nd Valve 1st and 2nd Valves 2nd and 3rd Valves 1st and 3rd Valves All Valves Valve combination chart Please find the key below to help you understand the fingering chart, I know the valves are being the played with the wrong hand but this has been done to show the valve combinations clearly. (The first playable interval is a 5th instead of an octave, but that is another.

For example on the trumpet, leaving all valves open (up) allows the player to play the following notes: C - G - C - E - G - Bb - C. On valve brass instruments, a single fingering may be used to play different notes. What there is to know? When number 1 valve is pressed the pitch is lowered one whole tone (2 semitones) When number 2 valve is pressed the pitch is lowered half a tone (1 semitone) When number 3 valve is pressed the pitch is lowered one and a half tones (3 semitones) Spectrum of brass tones of same fingering. Therefore I do not recommend playing it using no valves. The note in brackets is very flat when played using no valves. By just tightening up and loosing the lips. These notes to the left show the pitches that can be played by not using the valves. The image shows the trumpet harmonics series in Bb pitch. A high buzz will be created by tight lips and a fast stream of air pushed through them causing a high frequency of vibrations this will result in a produce a high note. This is done by tightening and loosening the tension of your lips, this will create a higher or lower sounding buzz. The Golden rule for brass instruments is: “The longer tube the lower the pitch will go in that given harmonic series of notes” To get all of the pitches, you need change the Harmonic series. This is one of the best trumpet notes how-to video showing you the sheet music with notes to follow. Trumpet Notes Fingering Chart Video Tutorial for Beginners. This is due to each valve having a different length of tubing. Below you will find a simple fingering chart, it is self-explanatory and can be followed quite easily by a beginner trumpeter. The Harmonic Series is the underlying physics of how Brass instruments play 30+ notes using only 3 valves or 7 slide positions. The trumpet has 3 valves that alter the pitch within a harmonic series of the instrument.
