Nice to hear this played so very well. I still have my dad's old Bugle that he used during the Remembrance Day gathering at the local park where the WW1 and WW2 monuments are standing. He also did a pretty decent job on his Bugle for an elderly vet. We lost him in 2009. He had to sit in his car during the November 2008 service at the park due to his health. He was a very proud Canadian War Veteran. RIP dad. We love you!
Cheers Mate thanks for the update and the one valve down for the high G fix. My favorite is the Infantry one to as I served in a reserve unit first and then a line unit second. The Lanark and Renfrew Scottish and the Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry. Excellent tone and note control!
With ANZAC Day approaching and the ban of social gatherings due to Covid-19, I will be playing the Last Post at our farm gate. My audience? A few sheep...a cow maybe. Duncan, your video has helped immeasurably to make sure I don’t disappoint! Thanks!
Revallie (well Rouse as its known) I'm not too sure if you cut it short on purpose but you do the C, G, C, G bit three times before then going onto the middle C, repeat this whole process again before ending as you did going from C to E to G then running back down
I’m here a few months later and I’m in quarantine. I am a beginner player and I’m playing for my street. This helped a lot thanks. I’m still trying to get the high G but I’ll get there!
I watched this two days ago at the Menin Gate, everyone should have the opportunity to go on a similar pilgrimage to respect the dead. It was the most moving thing I have heard. (I also can play this on the trombone!)
@@duncanfraserjazz Here in Norway, I've had children as young as 10 play Christmas music outside in -10 Celcius, they did splendidly. Keep mouthpiece in your mitten as long as you can and constantly blow warm air through the instrument and move the valves so they don't freeze. I've even had my left hand frozen stuck in its grasping position around the trumpet after an hour long marching training in -18 celcius. Hurt a lot when my nails thawed.... April is okay, though, weather wise. I didn't get the signal gig after all, apparently they didn't want to pay me as a musician - just some low symbolic prize (about 50$) I'm 36, with a bachelor in music teaching, a year away from a master's degree in music, 20 years experience as a trumpet teacher, have my own company, etc... I expect to be paid accordingly when I am asked to spend 4 hours away from home on a Saturday, in addition to the practising.
Toonoisy - brrrrr, to cold for me man 🥶 absolutely! Stick to your guns man, it’s a constant battle world over to make people realise musicians’ worth! Keep fighting the good fight 🎺
Hi Duncan, I just had my father's classic Westminster Besson restored and am embarking on teaching myself how to play it. Was wondering if you could provide a video on how to clean it after each use. Thanks in advance.
Never played a trumpet before in my life but I want to learn so I can play it in my driveway on ANZAC day. I have had some experience with a french horn before but I'm not too sure how similar they are. Any tips?
Tamika Tran the fundamentals of producing a sound are the same. You might find the mouthpiece quite shallow on a trumpet, although I know kids who’ve switched and found trumpet easier because of this. The last post is a good place to start as you don’t need to know any fingerings (some are slightly different between horn and trumpet). Use some of the tips I explain here doing it with different valves down if the top notes are too high right now. Keep the corners of your embouchure nice and tight and let the air flow through the instrument (you might find trumpet feels quite open) and give it a go! Best of luck.
Hey, do you have any other tips for the G's as I play on a bugle so changing the fingering is not really an option and I've changed from trumpet to French horn so I've lost my touch a bit, thank you in advance!
Mariner1437 sure - keep the corners of your embouchure tucked in and nice and tight. Support the note with plenty of fast flowing air, use your core muscles to help. Think about the note being further away rather than higher, try and imagine your air coming out of the bell and hitting a target a few feet away. Good luck 🎺
Thank you very much for your tips and tricks, really has helped. Not feeling so bad now and more confident. Many Thanks David #musicformateship #Sydney
GetM 02 this is a Yamaha. It’s the Custom LA model (8335LA), which is one of their pricier pro level horns. But the good thing about Yamaha is that even the cheapest models have similar looks and shapes and are all made in the same factory as the pro models, so they are always good quality. A good brand to start with if you were looking to buy one. I’d recommend checking out the 2335 model.
@@duncanfraserjazz thank you so much!!! You made it so easy to find one because I know for sure that the only music shop in my city has Yamaha :D! Thanks for the advice and I'll check that model right kno
Hi - in this video I’m using my Yamaha 8335LA. If you check out my other videos I’m using my everyday horn which is a Custom built horn by Geneva in the UK. What do you play?
Hey Andie, awesome you are giving it a go! My advice would be to firstly practice it until you don't even need to think about it, and then when it comes to it make sure you keep taking big breaths filling up from the bottom of your core. Are you playing it on Trumpet or a Bugle?
I have just ordered a bugle, I cannot find anywhere that shows this on the bugle. I also cannot read music, I used to play keyboard by ear. I am wondering if you know of anywhere that shows this on the bugle with instructions. Great video. Many thanks.
Hi Lee, it will be exactly the same on the bugle as on the trumpet. You'll notice I don't have to push any valves down to play it, just like a bugle. The melody just uses the harmonic series on the instrument starting on the lowest partial (Bb) and it is just a series of phrases, most of which repeat themselves at some point. If you used to be able to find your way around a keyboard I reckon you'll be able to work this out. Good Luck!!
@@duncanfraserjazz Hi. Duncan. Many thanks for the reply. I have also looked at part 2 to this and will keep going over them. I found sheet music for the last post which also shows the notes as letters so hopefully with your videos and the notes I need. I should be ok. Thanks again.
Hey Clifford - you are quite right that published sheet music for the reveille is in 2/4. Although for both these pieces I definitely don’t think of them in a given time signature. I’m certainly not counting note lengths. When I play them here they are openly interpreted depending on how artistic you want to make your performance. I also needed to add an extra line into the reveille and spell the title correctly 😬

Thank you so much! I am a 13 year old trying to learn this for cadets and your tip to lower the octave really helped me hit the high note!
5:10 Reveille tutorial and such starts getting talked about
This is really helpful I am playing this on Anzac Day out on my street
Glad to help - All the best!
I’ve been struggling for days over that top G thankyou so much this video was a life saver

Quite right Ben! Thanks for watching and commenting

Haven't played for 25 years but going to try to pick it up in time to play Sat also!
Do you take a band class in school?
@@jamesstuart5016 Yes I do
@@sophiepengelly1651 ah, they taught me to play by trying to play f then just a little bit higher no buttons down tho

I went last year, I give my respect to the people who go there to play this song
I need to play this in a week and omg I am so nervous
I hope it goes well! Good luck!
How did it go?
I need to learn today
Thank you so much I am going to perform this as a kid on Anzac Day which is in a week
You’re very welcome. Good luck & I hope it goes well! Where are you performing?
At a memorial park in Sydney, Australia
Everyone Subscribe to Duncan Fraser!!!
@@Dimsim67 amazing! Let me know how it goes!! And thanks 🙏
Fab please play on Thursday nights to start and finish the applause!!!!!!!
Thanks for this video! I'm being hired to play it at a ceremony in Norway in April, and this was really useful!
Toonoisy hope it goes well. I once had to do it at a ceremony outside in January and it was -1 degrees! Hardest one I ever did.

Hi found this very interested been burn before online ordering how do I get a hold of the trumpet need it for my cadet unit for the menin gate
Thanks Rhys. I’d visit a local music shop if you can and try some out. Many have some great deals on used instruments that have been traded in
I'm playing it this year on ANZAC day !! I'm so scared :|

@@duncanfraserjazz Trumpet :)) Thx
As a bugle player I usually need the numbered notes. Can someone help?
It all uses 2-6. Drop me an email - duncanfraserjazz@gmail.com I’ll send you a numbered score and we’ll get you playing it!
Okay, I have! Thanks!

noice
My trumpet doesn’t do that

What mouthpiece is in this video?
Side view would of been better
Why do you play it in 6/8 and not 2/4 time….it isn’t the correct way.
