11:30 describes basically my whole life with the trumpet as of now lmao just suddenly being able to do stuff without any explanation and I just gotta roll with it
I’m a freshmen looking to get GOATED at trumpet, and I’ve been watching your videos for a while and wanted to say thank you for this helpful video. I’m terrible with high notes, so this will help me a lot.
I’m not a trumpet player but I am an aspiring music teacher and I have to say this video is perfect. It’s weird to think that singing helps your playing but it’s so perfect for playing high on trumpet. I wish everyone knew this
10th grader here getting ready to audition for some honor bands. You are the best dude. High c is my comfortable range but i have faith that this will help. Thank you
@@icecold6118I believe you have a solid upper register but I don’t believe that at 7th grade you can play it consistently with a good sound and with good healthy technique, I personally also had a very strong upper register in middle school but i had poor technique and had to spend MONTHS undoing the bad habits I built. Range isn’t everything on trumpet, focus on technique and tone, and with time range will come.
10:21 this is absolutely true, I’m a junior in high school who went from playing high D above the staff to double D in 3-4 months. I bought the lynn Nicholson x piece and had to change my whole embouchure to get any sound out, but once I could play high notes on that mouthpiece I could play high notes on any regarding the size.
Hey! 7th grade trumpeter here. I take my craft very seriously, but the highest note that I can CONSISTENTLY hit is the A above the staff. I've been involved with my school's jazz band & pep band, as well as all-county, yet I can't hit higher notes then the A. I've always had a slightly higher range then my peers, but I wanted to hit HIGH notes - I mean like, the D or E above the staff. For a while, it was but a dream... until I found this video. This helped a lot and gave me some more stuff to practice. Thanks for the video!
I'm not a trumpet player. I'm actually a tenor sax player, but I am learning trombone, and I was having a whole lot of troubles playing the Bb scale. Iy was only the high notes, and this started helping a whole lot thank you🙏
You should look into the Donald S. Reinhardt methodology! Much of what you have discovered is pretty well in line with his embouchure study. I think you would really enjoy it.
Correct. Well done sir. Bell Angle is probably lip wiggle--you're blowing "up". Doesn't matter whether you blow up or down--it's a circle there is no up or down. But you have to blow into one of the cup walls.... Well maybe not have to. It helps.
I believe, as with making the initial sound on trumpet, at some point it just clicks and that's it. Only post-factum we are trying to science-fy of how we achieved it.
That was my experience initially, but after I lost the initial “click” I spent every day for months re-discovering it and was aware of most variables throughout. I hate to science-fy brass instruments but it was necessary for me personally
Freshman in high school who can hit double g sometimes. I have always struggled with playing high even if it’s I note I know I can play. Thanks for the tips.
I related with that really clenching to get that C but it was for the E but even still those upper notes get me and these are the above staff notes. The highest note I can play consistently is a high B and I’m in 8th grade but I’m still trying to work on getting to that high E but I’m trying to work on that consistently. Oh yeah and btw gold plated mouth pieces are amazing for trumpet because it’s so light and it’s a little softer and that’s what I’m using unless it’s actually bad so let me know if that’s bad for higher
Hey max I was just wondering, when did you get your lead lotus mouthpiece. Middle, Highschool, or later. Also I'm on a Bach 3c and I am looking at getting a lotus mouthpiece for trumpet ensemble and other performances , which one do you recommend for me? Thanks, love the content.
honestly, i am wondering the same, and i also run a 3c, but ive tried some other brands, and i would say bach is one of the best, dont get me wrong, lotus is good, but run bach for now. unless you planning on lead trumpet, try lotus 1xl2 or the schilke 15c. both really good, but try leaning a little more towards lotus for lead trumpet.
I didn’t get my first lotus till I was in college, and I would get one that suits your needs now! If you pursue trumpet in the long run, it can’t hurt to just get another at some point if you need a bigger or smaller mpc for the job
I sure hope this helps me out, ive been playing for about 4 years and im in my highschool jazz band and im starting to struggle with the higher notes im having to play because I just keep getting lightheaded and killing the sound (this is all over a simple G above stave) where as my friend plays a whole octave higher before getting problems (hes been playing 4 years too), my tutor says what im doing is like trying to push a trolley (shopping cart) and trying to pull it closer at the same time all the tension just kills the sound and I need to just imagine like im blowing into a straw with no tension or anything blocking the air flow, this tends to help until I actually try play a phrase :[ maybe its just a skill issue
As an 8th grade trumpet player who wants to make trumpet my career, I needed this.
Yo I’m also a trumpet player in 8th grade that’s what I’m trying to do too
I’m an 8th grader too.
@Thetrumpetkid-e5k we got the 8th grade gang in here yeaahhhhhhhhhhh
@ I can’t decide what I to do for high school
@Thetrumpetkid-e5k I’d say just stick with your instrument now but if you have a greater desire for a different instrument then do that one
11:30 describes basically my whole life with the trumpet as of now lmao
just suddenly being able to do stuff without any explanation and I just gotta roll with it
Same I never have been able to truly play above high d until yesterday now all of a sudden I can play up to dub c

Dining as in eating?
@ whoops, I meant singing. Autocorrect still sucks
@@heyimsilence6617 lol, was just confused

Same here. Thanks for the video!
I’m a 8th grader and can only play a B flat consistently. Thank you, I really needed this
I am 7th but I have some tips you could practice more and be better than him be him
@@icecold6118what are your tips?
@@icecold6118I believe you have a solid upper register but I don’t believe that at 7th grade you can play it consistently with a good sound and with good healthy technique, I personally also had a very strong upper register in middle school but i had poor technique and had to spend MONTHS undoing the bad habits I built.

trust me that’s better then most keep it up

dont reccomend that
Bro do NOT use that mouthpiece. I used that for two years and it killed me.
@@Carsaboyyou're not supposed to main it, it's a practice tool
@ I figured that out a bit too late 💀
@@CarsaboyYeah I use some random 3c mouthpiece because it’s way more comfortable than the x piece.
Love you max I just went through my first chop blow out applying this can help me recover

Finally, a new video W video
Correct. Well done sir. Bell Angle is probably lip wiggle--you're blowing "up". Doesn't matter whether you blow up or down--it's a circle there is no up or down. But you have to blow into one of the cup walls.... Well maybe not have to. It helps.
Yeah. Wiggle your bottom lip on the lip trill. Just barely. Where it feels like its barely moving forward relative to the top lip.

7:39 how do you keep tension from getting to your neck when you do this? When I look in the mirror it just looks like I’m about to have a hernia lol
