I can’t thank you enough for posting this video, Ryan. The focus you’ve brought to efficient practice, to effectively invest time and energy for outcomes, would have been a godsend for me as a young trumpeter practicing/over-practicing 4-6 hours/daily and playing another 2-3! Now as an older one, (64 in this summer - yikes!) it’s even more of a game-changer! Tomorrow evening, my students and I are meeting for 90 minutes to design and commit to our summer programs. I’ll create a spreadsheet for us in advance, but the students and I will define and populate our primary goals individually. This video will serve as one building block toward my other summer project - reorganizing and rebuilding my trumpet studio. No better time than summer to make this happen!
Hi Michael! I'm so glad you're finding my content so helpful. It's pretty cool for me to hear how you're going to use this video to structure your work with your private students. Thanks for sharing! Let me know if there are any other topics you are interested in me covering.
I like to practice Clarke #2 with different scales: harmonic minor, octotonic (diminished) and whole tone. Other things to do with Clarke #2: play them upside down or play them in 7/4 or both. There's a great method book by Bryan Davis that has all these written out; recommended. I think it's called "Twisted Technical Studies" or something like that. Very helpful vid, Ryan; thanks for that.
That’s a lifetime’s work for most of us! I llike the day off you’ve put in there. Brass players need to take a day or two off per month, IMHO. At least.

Playing Clarkes with different scales is a great idea. Make it more challenging and more interesting!
That was very good.
I'll do a shorter version. Hand written.
Thank you.
Sounds perfect!
Love your videos, Ryan. Thank you.
Absolutely! Thank you for watching.

I like it for the mental break more than anything I think
