Questioning the Best Beginner Trumpet Mouthpiece

🎺 What Is the Best Beginner Mouthpiece for Brass Students? A Surprising Look at How Kids Learn Brass Naturally

In this candid interview, we dive into a completely new way of thinking about how young brass players should start—sparked by real-world observation, a household experiment, and expert insight from Troy University Associate Prof. of Trombone, and kinesiology specialist ‪@JasonSulliman‬ .

As U.S. Director of Marketing for both Denis Wick Products and pBone Music, Mary Galime shares how watching her 8-year-old son explore buzzing on a damaged Denis Wick mouthpiece—and later on the larger pBuzz mouthpiece—reshaped her entire philosophy on beginner brass playing.

You'll hear:

✨ How kids naturally experiment with buzzing
✨ Why a larger mouthpiece may help beginners more than a smaller one
✨ How the pBuzz unlocked intuitive learning for a young player
✨ What buzzing on the “tiny tube” revealed about air support
✨ Jason Sulliman’s kinesiology breakdown on motor learning (big → small!)
✨ Why starting on a broader setup might lead to healthier brass fundamentals

Whether you’re a music educator, band director, parent, or brass player, this conversation challenges traditional assumptions and opens the door to a more natural, developmentally-aligned approach to brass pedagogy.

• Denis Wick Products
• pBone / pBuzz
