Playing the EZ-TP ● Harmonics In the chart on the previous page you can see that the same fingering – 1 2 valves 1 and 2 – is used to produce two different notes: E and A. Real trumpets function in the same way, allowing you to produce more than one note with each fingering. These are “harmonic” notes, and are produced on a real trumpet by changing your “embouchure,” or the shape of your lips against the instrument’s mouthpiece. In the EZ-TP the harmonic produced is determined by the pitch of

12 Playing the EZ-TP Setting the EZ-TP To Match Your Voice Select the “0” or “1” setting to match the EZ-TP to the pitch of your voice. There is generally a difference of about 1 octave between male and female voices. If the appropriate setting is not made for your voice, the notes you produce may be either too high or too low, so it is important to make the right selection. Most female and adolescent voices are best matched by the “1” setting, while the average male voice is best matched by t

Playing the EZ-TP Adjust the Microphone ● Microphone Volume Adjustment This step matches the sensitivity of the instrument’s MIC VOL microphone to your voice. Rotate the control clockwise to make it easier for quiet voices to produce sound. If you rotate the control counter-clockwise a louder voice will be required to pro- duce sound.

Playing the EZ-TP Changing the Pitch (Basic Key) of the EZ-TP The default pitch of the EZ-TP is Bb – the same as most trumpets. This means that if you play a “C” on a piano-pitch score using the EZ-TP, the note produced will be different from the same note played on the piano. If you set the pitch of the EZ-TP to “C,” however, the notes produced by the EZ-TP and a piano or other “C” instrument will be the same. The EZ-TP can be set to the following keys: Bb, C, Eb, F, Fr1, and Fr2. NOTE •To c
