Thanks! I play the euph too, and I was wondering if this would work too. I use to struggle when changing between normal notes and high notes. I’m trying to work on it :)
I use his videos for me and my friend and we're both advanced band trumpet players in 7th grade and this is our first full year playing trumpet this man really helped a lot
This also helps for clarinet/ similar reed instruments, its a common problem to change your embechure too much between registers and that makes it not sound good- focus on the airflow and dont tighten too much👍
I struggle with my buzzing now. Instead of vibration, normal air comes out from my mouth especially when I go to high notes. It never happened before, only when I had to play high notes with low volume. Now, I am definitely struggling.😭 I am frustrated everytime I play trumpet. I can say that I was better.
hey man, im a middle school 1st chair trumpet player and im wondering, what is the best "thing" to get for all of the higher notes for marching band. also what mouthpiece do you use?
I was in the same situation, 1st in middle school, and I'm in my rising sophomore year, so assuming you get first part like me, what I recommend you do is talk to any upperclassmen in your section for advice, but what they told me to do was lip slurs, mostly, just figure out what works for you
What are some tips of how to get up there? I got from a g above the staff to a high d in 3 months and the past 4 months I haven't had like any change in range
@@bloopahh play low notes. The lower you play the higher you can play, it sounds stupid but it works.And find a song that is high enough to push you that you really like it play. That’s really all I did
i have another question. i can play double pedal tones and not the actual pedal tones. if i have better flexibility through all of that lower range will it help me get higher
@@bloopahh yea it will, low notes not only help with gaining a better range but if you do them for a tad bit ( at mp-mf) after a long practice it’ll also relieve your chops. If it doesn’t help in like a month then I’m sorry I’m still in Highschool lmao
Wait do you have any advice for playing notes above the staff? I have to play an A for one of my pieces and I’ve been playing (trumpet not the piece💀) for about nine months but I just can’t get it yet😭
Trying to play an above-the-staff 'a' after only nine months is wild. There's no fast answer. Doing SLOW scales ascending and descending is so important for developing the embouchure. Clarke Studies, and Chicowicz flow studies can really help, too. All in all, RESTING is more important than playing when developing this range. Develop a plan of action. Try to get a private teacher if possible.
So I’ve been playing for around 9 years but have been trying to expand my range and create better tone. I looked to see if I’ve formed any bad habits because I never had lessons. I found that I naturally use air in a downward motion rather than straight. Also my top lip is in front of my bottom lip when I form my embouchure. Any tips?
Hi! I also struggled with this, and I wasn't corrected until recently. From what I was told, you'd have to move your lower jaw forward until your lips align. It's a bit of an adjustment, but with a few months of practice, you'll definitely adjust.
That you talk about perfect mouth, have seen the excitement of Jon Faddis ...... Lao touches but that comes out of the Xampane is what is worthing is what counts because the issue of the mouth is about the formation of the teeth ...... The embouchure can be Perfect or infect but what Valve is what comes out for the campana.🎺💰🎺💰🎺💰🎺💰🎺💰🎺
Max nailed it. If anyone ever tries to teach you there's only one acceptable embouchure, ask them if everyone's mouth is identical. 🫤 Everyone is built differently, so don't try and conform your embouchure to some random ideal based on someone you're not. Another big factor for your embouchure is going to be the size and style of mouthpiece you use. Find one or two that feel good and give you consistent results. I use a Bach 3C for concert band, and a Bajoc Lead 2 for jazz. They're pricey, but if you're a serious player, I highly recommend trying out the Bajoc line. If you live in the Mid-Michigan area, get over to Meridian Winds in Okemos and ask for Jacob Hoskins, their brass expert. Ask to try out some of his Bajoc mouthpieces. He custom-designs them, and I've never used such a great mouthpiece! 😊
