This is the second episode in a new Brass Tactics series, and the first demonstration relating to the exercises in the Brass Tactics 6/60 Routine. Please leave a LIKE and a comment or question--I try to respond to all of them.
I love the comment about pedal C: "it's like double high C in that it's hard to play... and has limited musical value". ... a dozen Maynard fans heads just exploded? 😅
For anyone on the fence about purchasing and using the 6/60 routine I encourage you to buy it. I started using 6/60 in Feb 2023. Since that that time my endurance, range and focus have improved. I suggest also that you read the foreword and afterword before you even play a note of the book. Doing so will answer many questions you have and of course the videos are a wonderful resource too. Thank you Chase for helping me get myself back in shape and improving too
The two primary reasons for me are to relax the lips and keep them supple, and to extend the low register beyond where you are required to perform. (The same philosophy applies to practicing high notes.)
