"Trumpet player to Trumpet player, HOLY COW! It took me a long time to get to where you are right now, and I've been playing for 8 years! Hey, if you ever have any questions or notice something odd, I'd be happy to see if I can help. I'm not a professional, but there are many things I have learned over the years from my previous band teachers and personal experiences. Here are some of the main things I learned that have helped me and may offer some help to you in the future. I'm not sure if you currently do, but in case you don't, you should always warm down to relax your chops. I see you're playing notes above the staff, and I cannot express how useful warming down is after a performance or after you put your instrument away to end your daily practicing session. It helps relieve the strain you put on the muscles in your embouchure after playing. It also reduces the risk of injury to them as well! Here is how to do it: First, during this exercise, it's important to keep the amount of pressure you put on your mouthpiece/instrument at a minimum. You want your playing to feel very relaxed, not strained! What I like to do is start softly on the low C below the staff. Play that as a whole note and go down to a B below the staff. Take your trumpet off of your face, relax for a little bit, then play low B to a low Bb as a whole note and then keep on repeating that process of going down a half step and taking your trumpet off of your face until you reach the low F# below the staff. What also works is playing pedal tones on your mouthpiece or on your trumpet. I like to sit for 5-10 minutes or so playing pedal tones on my mouthpiece until I'm positive my muscles are relaxed. (If you don't know what pedal tone notes are, they are notes below the normal range of the trumpet, so any note below the low F# below the staff.) I like to do a mix of both of these warm-down exercises at the end of my practice session. Also, a HUGE life-changer was mouthpiece buzzing as a warm-up as well as doing lip slurs and lip flexibilities on a trumpet. In my experience, lip flexibilities/lip slurs are also great range builders, either for low range or high range. I've noticed it get easier hitting notes below a low C on the staff all the way down to an F#. As well as improving my range above the staff. The same goes for mouthpiece buzzing. It helps to get the lips moving and helps to reduce the likelihood of cracking notes. I've noticed my lower range got better, and I noticed less cracking between notes with bigger leaps. (What I mean by a "leap" is playing a G in the middle of the bar to a G touching the top line of the staff. Really, any big or small gap when talking about the height of the consecutive note you play. That would be an example of a leap.) Also, buzzing any piece you play is really useful as well, or just a particular measure where you notice a lot of cracking happening. (What I mean by cracking notes is when you try to play a note but get another note in between before you actually hit the note you were trying to play.) What I do for mouthpiece buzzing is start on a low C then aim for the high G touching the top line of the staff then go back down to the C, and then I do this a couple of times just to warm myself up. Then I eventually go below a low C, hitting a low F# below the staff and go back up to the high G touching the top of the line of the staff. I will admit I sometimes go above a high G, just barely above the staff (I peak at a high C above the staff then go down all the way down to the low F# below the staff), but I don't recommend doing it early into your practicing session. Since playing high notes before you are properly warmed up can harm the muscles in your embouchure! I've also heard that lead pipe playing is another great warm-up as well as playing long tones. Although I'm not too familiar with them, I definitely recommend searching it up and trying it out though. I hope these tips are useful, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I came across your channel recently and wanted to help a fellow trumpeter out. This comment wasn't intended to be nitpicky about specific parts in your video and more of just general helpful guides for your journey. I hope you continue to show determination and a love for music."
@@fresherrrrumble3232 WOW seriously thank you so so so very muchh!!! your experience is insane and these tips are genuinely soooo helpful!! i am so glad to have someone like you watching my journey and be willing to help me out!! im really impressed by your skills and i really appreciate your help!! currently, im not at home so i will try these out when i get home!! once again i am soo thankful, and have a great dayy!!!
You're welcome! Like I said before If there is any questions you have or want to know anything related to a piece your playing, or need strategies on how to learn a specific technique. Just address it in a video or pop it in the description. I'd be happy to help, Have fun practicing!
@@fresherrrrumble3232 hey, if you still dont mind, could u check out my day 9 video? i explain my embouchure/tonguing problem in there and i try out a new way. i really loved your advice here (i am going to start applying it today) and so i would really appreciate any advice you have for my other video. THANK YOU SO MUCH ONCE AGAIN!!!! if you arent able, completely fine! thats all now, have a great day!!!
Beautiful tone and powerful sound! I started playing the Trombone on exactly January 15th as part of a 30 day challenge in attempt to learn something new and documented the whole thing and... its been a journey 😅. So I can totally relate to this challenge as it displays your determination to the instrument... or at least I hope lol. But yeah, nice sound. 😁
i would recommend not putting your pinky in the ring as a beginner that gives you the tendency to press your horn up against your lips and that will limit the lip cutting problem
@@thatbchanel1994 ahh dont worry, the pinky isnt in the ring! ive realised that the way i hold my trumpet probably looks uncomfortable to u guys, but trust me its not and it works fine 😭 and dw the lip cut is gone!! thanks for your tip tho!!!!
Your tone is already not bad, it's going to get so crisp in the next couple months. Best of luck with posting everyday!
thanks a lot!! best of luck to you as well!!!
