A few ideas on building (or rebuilding) embouchure endurance so you can play trumpet longer! ...and better! www.blackwellst... mouthpiece canister - chriskemp.ca/bu...
Yeah that's good stuff. I'm doing more buzzing these days and it's cool to see where I want to start using more mouthpiece pressure (on mouthpiece alone) - and it's like a middle C right now. Ha! Thanks for the comment. More to come...
Thanks for the great insight. Now if I could just find my inefficiencies... 1. closing air stream at the top of my range 2. relative pitch recognition. I will start with pitch.
Hey Simon - that's a great question, and one I will address in a (soon) future video. It's a topic that lots of people are bugged by, and one I can certainly relate to! Thanks for checking out the vids! James
*Applauds for 92 minutes* It may be about "building" at first...but mostly, we have to "discover" how to play, not just strengthen our body to do it, it is NOT that simple, haha. Otherwise we would be holding stupid pencils between our chops 24 hours a day I think.
BlackwellsTrumpetBasics Well I' m definitely going to check it out then, since everything you say always makes sense in a certain way, maybe you' ll be able to give it to pencils, also!
Good concepts. After not playing for a decade, I did a lot of mouthpiece & leadpipe buzzing to get back in trumpet shape

Loving your insights and personality. Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks Benjamin!
Looks like a neighborhood to build up more of your arsenal.
Wow... never thought of it this way. Guess I'm gonna spend some months on articulation then :)

Good place to start :-) Get those ears goin'!
