Hello my name is Duane Carter and on behalf of Expert Village I'm here to talk about how to play the cornet or trumpet. Breathing is a very important element in the playing wind instrument especially the trumpet there are basically 3 types to breathing. Known as shallow breathing, middle breathing, and deep breathing shallow breathing and middle breathing is characterized by the raising of the shoulders.
