- You’ll need a functioning standard B-flat trumpet (or equivalent) to follow the lessons effectively.
- A separate mouthpiece is required; the course expects you have one dedicated and correctly sized for your instrument.
- Basic accessories like valve oil, a cleaning cloth, tuning slide grease and a metronome/tuner will help your practice but aren’t strictly mandatory.
- Ensure your trumpet is in playable condition: valves move freely, slides aren’t stuck—otherwise you’ll spend more time troubleshooting than learning.
- If you don’t currently own a trumpet, consider renting one initially; the course assumes you’ll be able to pick up practical playing early on.
