Excellent tip for those trumpeters who live in apartments and have trouble with neighbors during the practice routine or people who can only do the routine at night! Priceless tip!
Stephen Bottom for sure! The straight mute has always been a challenge for me to get it to sizzle... (I like that word BTW!)...like the harmon mute. As always, thank you for watching!
that's exactly how i found (and still find) my way to the resonant center. I prefer a practise mute. Just make it sound as loud as possible while playing softly. (y)
@@TheBlackTrumpeter I use the Best Brass one. If you manage to catch the note in the center it starts to sizzle. You can immediately hear that and feel it on your lips.
Thanks for your great tips on all your lessons. they really help. I´m starting with trumpet at an older age. I´m getting mostly dull sound with my mute. Just the occassional buzz. I really try to open up my cavity and chops. maybe I just havent got the blowing strenghth yet. Or is my mercedes ii student trumpet not really doing serious business. mouth piece2 1/2. Cheers.
