Which is easier to play trumpet or flute?

Answer 1

This will be a biased answer, because I play Trumpet...

However, there are several reasons why I prefer the trumpet. First of all, it is one of the most recognizable instruments. Most people have difficulty identifying an Oboe or a baritone, but the trumpet is always recognized. Trumpet parts are often very fun to play, with some exceptions. The trumpet is also a more glorious instrument.... you never hear about the Flute sounding in the bible, it's always the TRUMPET!

I play the flute and I think that it's the best instrument to play. For a female I guess the flute would be more feminine. The flute sounds smoother and is quieter than the trumpet. Trumpet seems alittle harder even though i've never tried it. Also one key on the trumpet could play a few other notes and that could get confusing sometimes but the flute has different fingerings for different notes. The flute case is way smaller than the trumpet case so it would easier to carry around. FLUTES ARE SO MUCH BETTER. I LOVE PLAYING MY FLUTE!

Well this is some oneelse and he is right people who play trumpet will say trumpet but flute players will say flute. Personally I play flute and the the bias holds.

Okay, I play trumpet and flute, so I'm going to try not to be biased. I like both instruments for different reasons. I started flute in fourth grade and trumpet for jazz band in ninth. I like trumpet because it's got a bright, cheerful tone. I also like how loud it is. After so many years, I'm audible in band! However, at times, I don't like how loud it is. When you overshoot on one of the high notes, the whole band can hear you, at least, that's what it feels like. I am not a fan of the spit valve, although it is nice to empty it on enemies. On the other hand, I love the flute! We get all the fun trills and fast sixteenth note runs. Flutes can produce lovely, soft, calming sounds and ear splitting high notes. Plus, once you can play flute, you can easily learn piccolo. The problem with flute is that it can't really be heard in marching band, which is why I and many other flautists play piccolo for marching band. Oh, and by the way, frm my experience, flute is much harder. I picked up the trumpet in ninth grade and in two weeks was playing the jazz band music decently. Not just fingering the part, actually playing it. I played in my first concert with my trumpet after a month. Flute has a much harder embrochure and takes a ton more air, as you lose most of it over the top of the instrument. Plus, the fingerings are tricky, especially since there are so many fast runs that invole a lot if fast hand movement. Then again, I started trumpet after I had previous musical experience, so... In conclusion, no one instrument is "better" than another, and I love all my instruments. The real question is "Madison Scouts or Phantom Regiment?"

I play trumpet AND flute and some other ones...but anyway I love both of them but trumpet is a lot harder to learn. I played flute first and learned it in a week and have been first chair for 5 years and not once have I been 1st chair trumpet. I LOVE BOTH OF THEM!

Answer 2

A flute is harder since it has many keys , but an easy mouth piece.

A trumpet has only three keys, but a harder mouth piece.

I would prefer both, since they are both great insterments!

Answer 3

this is a matter of personal opinion. as a trumpet player i have to tell you, playing the trumpet has been great, because the trumpet is an easially recognizable instrument, it is a powerful instrument, and the trumpet section in a band usually commands alot of respect. however, the flute is a crucial instrument in band, and it is also a well known instrument. though not as loud or respected (in my opinion) the flute is a great instrument. i would try to learn both.

Answer 4

It is impossible to say which one is better. It all comes down to which one is played better or just personal preference. Trombone is a brass instrument and Flute is a a woodwind instrument, therefore neither are better.

i play the trombone so i think that the trombone is the best..it sounds so much smoother and sweeter...the trombone is a lot bigger and would definitelly be a lot harder to carry it around.. If you can't carry it you deffinitly have someother problems. Trombones usually have the melody in most of the songs played as a band. i play the the Trombone..THE TRONBONE IS THE BEST

Answer 5

They are very similar and about the same difficulty because the flute has more keys but an easier mouthpiece and trumpet has a rather difficult mouthpiece but only three keys.
