We need to arrange several pop rock songs. The band has vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. In addition, we add a trumpet. Do you have any idea, method or example of how to play the songs with the trumpet?

I suppose with a cornet you'll have the ability to add something extra in for texture, so something like finding the main melody line in the song, whether it be with guitar or vocals have the trumpet follow this line to emphasise the line and it could offer a massive difference to the sound and feel of the song depending, you should try looking at reel big fish, they get away with a trumpet |

There are some good examples. Have a look at Less Than Jake's song, Gainesville Rock City: You need to arrange the songs so it works, but rock music can definitely cope with non-standard instruments. |
