If you are looking to take lessons for any type of instrument, going online can be a great way to do this. You can fit it into your schedule, you do not have to go out if the weather isn’t nice, and you can find an instructor no matter where you live. When it comes to trumpet audio lessons or any other instrument, you can take classes that are audio, video or both. Regardless, you want to make sure that audio is a part of the lesson plan, whether you record yourself and send it in or it is a live session. Your teacher cannot tell how you are doing, and what progress you are making, without hearing you actually play. Many sites will have a short sample of a lesson so you can know what to expect before you commit to lessons and a teacher.
