The Pinky Pal is a foam manipulative for trumpet players that helps to promote proper right hand position when playing the trumpet. The Pinky Pal retrofits over all manufactures brands of student model trumpets in which the trumpet's existing finger hook is positioned into the Pinky Pal and then slid over the existing trumpet finger hook with the Pinky Pals flaps falling onto both sides of the trumpet's top tubing. The Pinky Pal is then further secured underneath the trumpet's tubing by the Velcro found on the inside of the Pinky Pal flaps. The Pinky Pal is made up of a single piece of rectangular shaped EVA foam with a finger hole on the top, a center cut reaching halfway up the middle from the bottom (creating flaps) and a slit in the middle just below the finger hole for the trumpet's finger hook. The Pinky Pal helps trumpet players train their right hand pinky finger to stay in place atop the trumpets finger hook instead of inside the finger hook. The Pinky Pal also gives a lift to the right hand resulting in pressing down of the valves and not pulling down the valves.
