How to Properly Clean Your Trumpet Mouthpiece

The longer that trumpet players play without cleaning their mouthpiece, the more old spit that builds up inside of the mouthpiece. It becomes very difficult to and frustrating as you play on dirty equipment. Be sure that you are cleaning your mouthpiece at least once a week to avoid building up lots of old spit. Enjoy!

Ah, thanks! I’m starting band next year and I chose to play the trumpet, at first I couldn’t figure out the mouthpiece, so I started practicing with it, only to realize after a bit my trumpet wasn’t playing as well, so this helped a lot! Thanks!

Get rid of the music track. It's distracting and makes it hard to hear and understand what you are teaching. What you are teaching in all your videos is good! But the music track needs to go.
