I'm also 73 and picking up the cornet. 1st video saved my endevor. Now I have a suggestion for new learners looking to limit horrid trumpet sounds. Use only the mouthpiece to practice your lips. Much quieter (and wifie stays home!)
I am impressed! I've never played in instrument (73yo). ALMOST gave up & sell my cornet. You guys guided me to do it right. I am "saved!" Now to practice and watch vid 2... Thank you😊
Excellent! Esp. the info on forming the lips. Forgot all that. Played 1st trumpet in H.S. but that was almost 60 years ago. Haven't touched one since. But I am interested in picking it up again - with your help! Looking forward to your other videos.
Thank you guys. Totally brilliant. Okay. I'll buy a trumpet tomorrow. Might get one of those small ones so's I can take it in the car, practice there sometimes. No reason why not? Very interested in what you say about the sax. Can you say more? Can you give advice on that aspect of the sax - blow soft? I never see any vids talking about that, beginner or not. I came from (poor part time amateur) clarinet to the tenor and got along with it alright - many fights with getting the low C - and blowing quite a bit. Noisy. Videos, forums, told me 'it is a noisy instrument' make a noise. so I went with it. Then I recently got an alto. Surprised the hell out of me how easy it was to blow. Made me wonder if my tenor has a leak or something somewhere. Or if the mouthpiece/reed thing is a problem. Still don't know about that. But the thing is I was kinda forced by the ease of that alto blow to cool it a bit, calm down, blow softer. And I've begun to see that as you say the sax is a soft, quiet instrument. To my amazement. BUT: I don't really know how to go about it. LIke it must say something about choosing reeds and mouthpieces maybe? I don't know. But you guys seem to know something. I would love to hear it. And thanks again for a great vid. :) woops.... 9 years ago. Not going to get any replies now are we? Not from them. Their avatar links to a site that hasn't seen any updates for eight years, too. Ah well....
I've been teaching my 10 yr. old Grand-son to play trumpet - long distance via ZOOM. I started playing when I was 11, myself. Today, on his first day of 5th grade, as we watched your video here and talked about blowing techniques... and listening to your instruction, blow air first and narrow the space in your lips - I'm excited to say he was able to play a C-D-E !!!! I'm very proud of him and he is excited to be playing 3 notes finally!! Yea! Thanks for this video!
Just bought a KING 600 with 7c mouthpiece and case(circa 1975 according to the serial#) today at a yard sale for 20 bucks. All 3 valves operate smoothly and return quickly. All slides move freely. Very little lacquer wear and one tiny ding. I haven't picked up a brass instrument since high school ( I am 59 yrs old)but I was playing a C Major (B flat Concert) scale immediately. Enjoy playing everyone.
Hi jems now a days I am playing alto saxophone and I remember 1 January 2018 I started saxophone.because of you it could happened I saw you chromatic scale on alto saxophone and I started..in 4 years I am playing now with professional players on stage thanks brother thanks RU-vid….
Isn't the most important thing with the trumpet to have a muscular upper lip ? No matter how good the breath control is,if you haven;t any upper lip muscularity you will have no tone and no range.
Don't play with one hand? I only have my right hand. I am 68 yo love music and I love challenges. I played trumpet when I was young. I just bought a used trumpet two days ago and started to practice, but please don't tell me not to play with one hand. That is all I have.
@@mf_nano After losing my left arm in the conflict in Angola, Africa 1976, that RIP doesn't apply to people like me. I was born a warrior not a chicken shit. I am improving little by little. I do what makes me feel good. No to please anyone but myself. I didn't know why you came up with that "S" of RIP?
Wow, this was the absolute best video explanation for beginners. I just started trumpet and have consumed a lot of RU-vid content to try to get myself up to speed. The explanation of how the trumpet works was the base foundation I’ve been looking for. It also really helped to know that you can get started without buzzing. I’ve been working at it but have been really struggling. After your video, I was able to get a clear tone without much trouble. Thank you so much for this!
I just ordered a Bach Tr500 new demo for $449.I used to play a old Bach Strat in HS. I’m 68 years old now. Don’t buy Chinese. You can upgrade the quality by buying a used one too. 7 c is a good start
