The fact that he can do on purpose what people try not to do on accident is actually kind of insane to me. That lip control, and this was him in 2012. His buzzing videos are insane and I love every second
Charlie I haven't played in 24 years and just picked it up again. Trying to start fresh with good habits. Your videos are excellent! Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
thanx Charlie...you are a natural born teacher...I have only had one other realtime teacher that has your ability to cut thru the B.S. and pare it down so succinctly. 63 years old, retired and getting back into my horn and guitar...Peace !!!
Charlie, Man you may have just solved 20+ years of frustration and impasse regarding my playing. Excellent info, well thought out...had to subscribe. This stuff is GREAT!!! Kudos Charlie, well done!
What a great video. Such a simple approach to explaining how trumpet playing works. Sure wish someone had explained it to me this way back about 40 years ago, when I was struggling to figure out how to play a trumpet. This is going to help a lot of wanna-be trumpeters. Well done, Mr. Porter!
I am a sax player trying to play trumpet seriously, and this explains things so well... it shocked me. I thought i knew how wind instruments worked quite well, but apparently not. Thank you, I should be paying you at least an year's worth of lessons or something lol I will use this knowledge to get super successful and come back with a huge check to give you!
Charlie, this was one of the most informative tutorials ever! The Arban charateristics study and approach was mind-blowing as well as the mouthpiece buzzing. Thanks so much!
Fantastic lesson and clear explanation. Great to hear a bit of your playing too. Thanks so much for putting this out there for us trumpeters. Love the summary at the end - very helpful.
Very good video Charlie, It's so good to hear someone who knows what they are talking about and also being a great player.We as trumpet players are always over complicating things. I also like your Video on Pedal tones and have somewhat adapted it to part of my playing. Air and Vibrations that's what it's all about :)
There are TH-cam channels "clickbait". Then there is Mr. Porter. A breath (no pun intended) of fresh air. I’m already his student however, he doesn’t know it yet. It’s my goal to get to an intermediate level so I may ask for formal lessons. I bought an Olds ambassador, a Monette Prana from the factory and a new Bach Strad leadpipe and your plethora of books on the channel. You’ve created a monster…I now own 10 horns I can’t play a melody, BUT I make great music/sound. You rock brother. I just wish you’d re-visit your channel as it seems you are disconnected from it these days. Oh the price of earning a living.
THANKS Charlie a lot.Youre the man i picked up trumpet 1month ago after 4 years of playing sax.This is really helpful becuse i was near giviing up the trumpet.You rock,it helped me for an trupet and my range on sax expanded.Thank you.God bless.
Hey Charlie! Complete new. Haven't even got my horn yet! But you are making a great job in the explanation.... I'll sure be back when I recive my horn!! Have a great summer! thanks
Thanks for the help! I'm going into my senior year of highschool and I've spent the past 3 years as 4th Trumpet in Jazz band, mostly because I didn't have much of a will to practice. And I've had enough of 4th, and now during summer break I've started practicing again and these videos have helped me out a TON with explaining essentials and explaining what is a bad habit that many people have. I've for the most part been pushing my trumpet into my lips hard, and they've always hurt so much after rehearsals. Now, its just time to set the good habits into being natural for me, and I'll be set!
Charlie thankyou very very much for your videos (especially this one). As a music grad I always wanted to learn a new instrument and gave the trumpet a go for a year with very little progress until......your videos man ! now can hit a high D and starting to play with others, great stuff. your info on smaller aperture, lip slurs and tongue arching for high has saved my bacon. the only real issue I had of late was not FORWARD arching and so bottling up the air pressure (now solved with keeping k tongue for some passages). I may not get to pro level but who cares at least its enjoyable to play now. Your a genius Charlie, congrats !
Charlie, in his Trumpet Method (3 books), Vizzutti has the glissando on mouthpiece as part of his warmup. He gliss from G in staff up one octave and then down to pedal G and play the pedal stronger.
Can you make a video or give a tip on how to center your embrochure? I play slightly to the right on my top lip and my bottom lip doesn't move. My range is usually a fluent major C. On some days I can play a major G. Tips?
does it mean lips are not supposed to slide on the mouthpiece when playing very low and slide back to high notes? Specially my bottom lip tends to do that...
Hi Charlie, been following You many years, Thanks for that! What you say here is something that is my style playing in Chet Baker ideom! Lessen to Chet he playd with this "falls" also, and so do I , can here it on my recordings haha!
I'm in 9th grade and have been playing since 5th. I can a high C most of the time and just want to increase range and endurance. Should I just continue with my routine of long tones? Any help would be appreciated thanks!
Wow, what a great video. This is exactly what I am (or maybe was) struggling with as a beginner. I will definitely add you to my Skype contacts when I can afford it. Thanks!
best trumpet teacher on youtube
+bulldogfight Not just that, but one of the best players there is.

He has insane aperture control

Ditto.
Maybe I'll ask the singers at church to "slot" the notes and not "slide" or "swoop" within a lyric.
I have never ever heard snything like this from any teacher I have had. It is truly awesome!!
Thank you you are a world class teacher.
Yep!!!

Simply the best 👏👏👏🎺🎺🎺
The best trumpet tip’s I’ve ever heard!.
Still there are no short cuts Charlie is also very talented 👏👏🎺🎶🎺
Very good video Charlie, It's so good to hear someone who knows what they are talking about and also being a great player.We as trumpet players are always over complicating things.

The best channel about trumpet playing and learning on TH-cam! Thank You Charlie!
Thank you, Charlie, all your stuff really helps.I am an old beginner and having a lot of fun with my horn.
There are TH-cam channels "clickbait". Then there is Mr. Porter. A breath (no pun intended) of fresh air. I’m already his student however, he doesn’t know it yet. It’s my goal to get to an intermediate level so I may ask for formal lessons.

I just wish you’d re-visit your channel as it seems you are disconnected from it these days. Oh the price of earning a living.
Great Video Charlie.I am 60 in Sydney starting out on my yamaha trumpet.Thanks
thanks Charlie, really great advice, really works.
THANKS Charlie a lot.Youre the man i picked up trumpet 1month ago after 4 years of playing sax.This is really helpful becuse i was near giviing up the trumpet.You rock,it helped me for an trupet and my range on sax expanded.Thank you.God bless.

Wish me luck. Peace
Thank you for taking the time to record and post this. It’s super helpful

Excellent explanation and demonstration. It may be also helpful to think of going from G to C as a "reverse lip bend" on both the mouthpiece and horn.

Thank you for all your videos. They've been more than helpful..
