How do you call someone who plays the trumpet by themselves? Its like something i forgot what it's call? My high school teacher told me about this.

Solo.
Dictionary says "done by one person alone. Unaccompanied".

I think “unaccompanied trumpeter” is more accurate than “solo trumpeter” as the later could be a soloist performing with an ensemble. Where unaccompanied means no one else is performing.

from Italian solo, literally "alone," from Latin solus "alone"

In common parlance one might call the featured instrumentalist taking a ride in a jazz ensemble a soloist or say they were playing a solo, but would not say they were unaccompanied.

Btw, I think the OP accidentally started a new thread further refining his original question.

avant garde

kehaulani · Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2022 8:01 am Post subject:

"Avant-garde" has nothing to do with the orchestration. It's a style. You can play avant-garde alone or in a 100-piece orchestra.

Avant-garde: "New and unusual or experimental ideas, especially in the arts, or the people introducing them."

You, yourself, can confirm the definitions of any terms by just by googling "Define: ______".

Strong stuff I presume.

I think I, and others, took OP’s “by themselves” to mean playing without anyone else participating. But on second thought I suspect he meant “making up the part on the fly”. Themselves as opposed to the composer/written part.

I still wouldn’t have come up with “avant gard” based on his prompts.
