Wind instruments are difficult! You must know this before signing up for a band class or taking lessons! The trumpet, in particular, requires a lot of strength training in the tiny muscles required to make the sound. It will take a couple of years before you can produce a clear full sound, unlike some instruments that can produce a nearly perfect sound on a student's first attempt. I urge my students to play 7 days per week, 6 days if they are advanced and need a rest day. Every day you spend away from the horn is a day you will spend regaining strength.

That being said, I promise the sacrifice is worth it. Wind musicians can bend pitch, get louder and softer on command, and manipulate the timbre of our instrument, giving us so many expressive tools that pianists, guitarists, drummers, etc. do not have.
