How to Ship a Trumpet

Shipping a trumpet is a procedure that shouldn't be completed hastily. Trumpets can range anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Because of the high value of the instrument, you should take extra precautions to ensure that it is not damaged. By taking a few minutes to ensure that the instrument is packed securely, you can minimize the risk of losing money on a valuable investment.

Step 1 Wrap the trumpet in a thin and soft cloth and then place it inside of its case. Stuff the side of the trumpet with bubble wrap or styrofoam eggs to help prevent it from bouncing around in transit.

Step 2 Close the trumpet case and wrap the trumpet with mailing paper. Make sure the entire case is wrapped securely.

Step 3 Purchase a large, double-walled box that will accommodate the entire trumpet case and leave 4 inches of extra space on all sides. Fill the box with 3 inches of styrofoam eggs and then place the trumpet inside the box.

Step 4 Fill the rest of the box with styrofoam eggs and make sure the trumpet case is securely fixed in place. The trumpet should be secure enough that the case does not move.

Step 5 Wrap the box seams with mailing tape. Use three layers to ensure that the tape does not come loose.

Step 6 Write the word "Fragile" on the outside of the box. You should write this on all sides of the box to ensure that this is easily viewed.

Step 7 Take your package to UPS or FedEx. Ask them to include delivery confirmation, tracking and insurance for the total cost of the trumpet and shipping charges.

UPS will guarantee your package and provide insurance against damage if you pay them to pack the item for you. If you are short on time this is a good option. Delivery confirmation, tracking and insurance will cost extra, but it is worth spending the extra money to protect your investment.

List of Musical Techniques and Their Meanings

Musical techniques are the building blocks of any basic music training. These techniques allow performers to improve their coordination and develop accuracy through repetitive daily exercises. Musical techniques progressively build upon previously learned techniques. Scales Scales form the basis for other musical techniques. Student may study major and minor scales as well as modern scales, such as the whole-tone and octatonic scales. A scale consists of patterns of half steps and whole steps. These whole steps and half-step arrangements will be different for each scale. Scales are musical techniques that can help a performer to play faster and more accurately, and make learning new pieces easier. Chords Chords require knowledge of major and minor scales. Chords come in several different forms that affect the sound. Triads consist of three notes spaced a third apart and classified as major, minor, augmented and diminished chords. Seventh chords build on triads and have an additional no

Why Claude Debussy Never Cared About Music Theory

  Claude Debussy was born on August 22, 1862. So, I felt writing a blog post to celebrate would be appropriate. Debussy was a revolutionary composer who challenged the conventions of Western music. He was influenced by the impressionist painters, the exotic sounds of gamelan music, and the symbolist poets. He created a musical language that was expressive, colorful, and atmospheric. One of the most remarkable aspects of Debussy's music is his use of harmony. He did not follow the rules of tonality and functional harmony that dominated the music of his time. Instead, he used modes, scales, chords, and parallel movements that created a sense of ambiguity and fluidity. He also experimented with timbre, texture, rhythm, and form to create musical images that evoked moods and emotions. Debussy's music can inspire us to think outside the box and explore new possibilities in our own compositions. We can learn from his innovative techniques and his artistic vision. We can also apprecia

Similarities of Classical and Baroque Music

Music has evolved through the centuries and undergone drastic changes. One of the most significant transitions was from the Baroque to the Classical period of music. In this paragraph, I will compare and contrast some of the main features of these two styles, such as ensembles, instrumentation, and counterpoint study. The Baroque and Classical periods of music have many similarities. While the style of music changed drastically, certain key elements remained the same between the two styles. Composers in the Classical period sought to simplify music and create clearly audible musical lines. In contrast, composers from the Baroque period were interested in creating complex and highly ornamented musical lines. The Baroque period occurs from approximately 1600 to 1750, and the Classical period extends from 1750 to 1820. Ensembles Ensembles are groups of musicians that perform together. Both the Baroque and the Classical period had similar types of ensembles, such as operas, orchestras, str
