Real keys beat glass.

Trumpet Trainer is built for a keyboard: three physical keys under three fingers, the same pattern as your valves. That version is the one that builds the reflex.

The touch version works, and it's a fine way to drill your reading anywhere. Rotate to landscape and three valve pads sit under your fingers.

Rotate Your Phone

Go landscape.

The staff needs the wide way, and landscape puts the three valve pads under your fingers, the way you hold your horn.

Read fast. Finger faster. Build streaks.

How to play

The Job

A note appears on the staff. Answer with its fingering before the clock eats your bonus.

Your Keys

The chips above show your current keys for valves 1, 2, 3 and Open. For combos, press them together: 1+3 is both keys at once. Three keys under three fingers, same as your valves. Open sits on Enter so your other hand handles it and your valve fingers never leave position. Every valve can hold two keys at once; set them under Change keys below.

Scoring

100 points per note, multiplied by speed and your streak. A miss costs 150 and resets the streak. The note stays until you get it, and after two misses the trainer shows you the fingering.

Modes

Timed rounds are a sprint. Endless gives you 5 lives and no clock. Learning hints show the note name, the fingering, or both while your reading speed catches up. Turn them off when you're ready to earn it.

Sound

Three settings: classic Beeps, Note Pitch, or silent. In Note Pitch, every correct answer plays the actual note you just read, and after two misses the coach's reveal sounds the target too. Set Hear it in to your horn: on a B♭ trumpet, written C sounds concert B♭, so the B♭ setting matches what comes out of your bell. Pick C for piano-true pitch, or D and E♭ for those horns.

Change keys

Click a key to change it. Both keys fire the valve. Space, R and S are taken. Backspace clears an alternate.

Coach's tip: keep Open on Enter and press it with your other hand. When Open lives on ↑, right next to ↓, a rushed finger hits the wrong arrow and drills the wrong pattern. Valves stay under your three fingers; the other hand owns Open.
