The musicality is inspiring, be it mellow, sweet, march-style, jazz, baroque, classical, pop and others. If a musician likes to play both melody and harmony, the trumpet is a good instrument to choose. At times the music written for trumpet is all melody, played to show off the instrument and enable the player to interpret the music how he or she sees is most musical, and to shine the whole way through. At other times, the player will play only harmony, supporting other trumpet parts, other instruments, or singers. This type of music can be challenging and fulfilling in completely different ways than playing melody. Tuning, blending, supporting must be finessed within the meter and style of the music. Most often, a player is playing both melody and harmony within the same performance or venue, fully utilizing all skills as needed. Playing trumpet enables a musician to keep options open.
