About this course

Kay Charlton is a top trumpet educator based in the UK, and this course is built on part 1 of her best-selling book "Are You Ready". It's designed to get you playing your very first tunes, with each piece building progressively so you pick up new notes step by step. (Ready for more? There's a part 2 to move on to.)

By the end you'll be playing fun tunes across a range of styles - from Rock and Electronic to Bollywood and Latin - and improvising ideas of your own.

For beginners, we recommend the pTrumpet: an affordable, durable, high-quality plastic instrument that's perfect for getting started.

Most of all, we want you to have fun - playing the tunes, experimenting, and making up your own ideas. Grab your trumpet and dive in.

Who it's for

Total beginners picking up a trumpet for the first time
Returning players easing back in with simple tunes
Curious learners who want to play across world styles

What you'll learn

Play five short tunes from start to finish
Produce clear notes including your first D
Improvise simple ideas over a Latin groove

What you'll need

A trumpet — a pTrumpet works well for starters
A quiet spot where you can make some noise
A few minutes most days — regularity matters more than length

Meet the Guru

Her MusicGurus courses bring that classroom experience straight to you: from your very first trumpet lesson through two sets of tunes for beginners, Kay sets out exactly what to play and how to play it.
