How to play high notes on the trumpet with ease part 1 

You are the only guy that actually made get those notes out. Thank you soooo much 🎉🎉

Thanks! I’m working on this! I played in school, but now I’m retired, 74 years old, in Texas!

I made 1st trumpet in high school but eventually quit playing and decided on a different career path. To get those high notes out, I pushed the mouthpiece so hard that my lips started to bleed against my teeth. That was the end of trumpet playing for me. On the other side, there is music theory for those born without the gift of music. For those born with the gift of music, music theory enhances one's natural gift. Those not born with the gift are forever stuck to music sheets transcribed by others. At 70, I see this with my daughter, who can play and improvise on anything she hears. This happened for her after two years of piano lessons at the age of 15, she was transcribing and improvising anything from classical to jazz and her execution of the piano just got better after that. Think I made the right decision to put down the trumpet! 🙂

More of this my friend 😊 In depth for us ordinary human beings 😊🙏❤️

Thank you for your excellent explanations.

This is such great information, thank you so much for sharing. Please know that you are helping a lot of people with this! God bless you.

seeing this a couple of days late but glad I have been caught up on this lesson thanks again man

Found this very helpful and refreshing - clear and practical. I struggled with slurring for a long time. Thanks very much.

good information, stay blessed

Excellent lessons this is working. I am a trombone player but it works the same. Thx a million.

Let me make this my routine man Thank you for sharing.

Super stuff. Thank you!

Hello, I am 15 and lead in top jazz of my high school. I use a lot of MP pressure when playing high. Can you do a video on how to form your embouchure? I feel like my embouchure is bad and inefficient

Excellent well edited video!😊🎺🎶🎙🎼🎛 I am going to apply most of what you said because you are correct. The only part you lost me on is the tongue arch because I do not see its correlation with changing the pitch. I tried anchoring It doesn't work .😪 The aperture control and air flow are the one changing the pitch for me. 😕

You are a blessing.

Pretty cool explanation.

Thank you so much senior

Excellent!

For sure it's really working OB

Very nice!

Thanks bro One more thing...I heard a shake from you....I really want to do a shake on my horns badly I'll really appreciate if you do a video on that....thanks 🙏

Please is it good to place the mouthpiece at any position on the lips or there is a particular place to be used

Excellent video. I've subscribed. I've been doing all of this for a year or so and I've pushed my range up to D/Eb/E in practice with lip slurs, 2-octave scales etc but going beyond that still feels impossible and I still struggle to play high Ds in band when they're written. I suppose I just have to trust the process and keep working on it.

but if ya want to be heard in a band situation, ya need to lower your tongue in the 'awww' position behind the lower teeth, and open your throat.
