This video REALLY helped me out. I just got the trumpet yesterday. Barely able to get a low C. Now Im able to get low C and D and its because my air wasnt fast enough. I thought it was a problem with my embouchure or my tongue, but they were both in place. I noticed theres a difference between fast air and loud noise. Im a tenor sax player and this is a whole different world.
As a trombone player I'll say this is one of the best instructional musicians on TH-cam of ANY instrument. He doesn't fish for income by begging for likes and subscribers and in fact encourages to dislike if the video wasn't insightful or helpful. Not to mention his examples and demonstrations are really easy to undertand and he doesn't get too fat into detail making it hard to comprehend. He's definitely contributed to my trumpet playing and even my musicianship as a whole.
As a band teacher and trumpet player, I am glad I stumbled onto your site. Your lessons are excellent. They are fast paced and to the point with activities that reinforce your points for my students to do along with you and incorporate into their daily routine. Congratulations. You are doing an excellent job. And Thank-you sir!
This video helped me more than my professors in brass techniques. As a percussionist, I didn't have a very good embouchure when I took brass techniques in college, but this video saved me from bad grades on my performance tests. Another future music teacher is on the way to graduation thanks to this video.
Okay, Aaron, I'm a believer and a fan of yours now! Love your teaching style: it's down to earth, efficient, and effective! I have gotten further in 30 minutes of learning from you than an entire week beforehand! :)
I playing trumpet because my teacher doesnt have alot of students in band this year. As a middle school flute player to a junior color guard member(without playing music for 3 years) your videos helped me so much to transition to playing this beautiful brass instrument! Thank you!!
I know I’m a little late but I just started mellophone switching from flute not even a month ago but my range has increased and im able to play above the staff G thanks to you and many other professionals!! 🙏🙏But still have a long way to go because my goal is to get wayyyy up there 👆🏽 and play what the flute play on mellophone 😭😭. Pray for me
I used to play the trumpet back when I was still in school (more than 12 years ago) recently I decided to pick it up again. I went from playing clarinet, back in the day. I learned to play some but I was never really good at it. Picking it up again I realized I was still not very good at it lol and struggled greatly with some higher notes. I have to say just watching this video has really helped to broaden my range (which wasnt much to begin with) thank you for the tutorial and explaining it in such an easy way to understand. I must of looked at a dozen of other websites trying to learn the technique to this and yours is the one the really helped!
my goodness, you are truly a gift. I'm a trumpet player and a high school band director, every time I run out of ways to explain something I look to you, and with consistency, it gets through to them. Thank you!!!
This video helped me so much. I went from not being able to even change my pitch on my instrument to being able to play notes I completely couldn't do to doing them easy as a piece of cake. THANKS!
This helped me so so much! Like 15 minutes ago I could only play a high d. and now I can do the Eb scale almost perfectly! I extended my range two more notes! And I have braces. You are amazing. Thank you!!!
This was very helpful. Got my trumpet yesterday and have been trying to teach myself how to play the C major scale before my lessons start. I couldn’t get A, B, or high C until now. Thank you!
thanks for the video. I played trumpet [not very well] 50 years ago, and decided I wanted to play the trumpet solo to "String of Pearls" before I die. Figured I better get to it! Have to start over as a beginner. Haven't found a teacher yet but this is helping me with the slur from A to C that drives me crazy!
Man you are such a great teacher. I feel so lucky to have seen your video. This makes me want to pick up my horn again after 45 years. I was always frustrated by never being able to hit the high notes.
Great Video! The hardest thing sometimes is getting beginning band players to play the note G. They just play way down below C and do not know how to raise their pitch. This video gives great insight to that issue and presents it in a way that beginning players can understand.
Im a sixty year old beginner living in a small town in Norway, North Europe, wirh no instructors in sight during these Corona days. Its just me and youtube, and my Horton with my Bach 10.5C and 3E. Interesring tone differences in these two mouthpieces. I like them both. Im learning with basic Christmas songs, Julie Andrews Do-Re-Mi. Im really bad but getting there. Recently I tried Taps which I find it be very challenging. When I saw the E and then G above staff in Taps I knew my chops aren't there yet. Im hitting D fairly well with fresh chops. I need to get there, to get higher. Someday i hope to play Summertime outside 😊 And this is how found you. Thanks fot the Tips! Ill hace a go!
Thanks so much fr. As a jazz guitarist just getting into brass instruments, this was real helpful and super straight to the point. Love all the visual examples!!! Subbed
The Ibanover nice! It’s a truck I learned in college. My prof did this with me in my lessons to help visualize and feel what our air does when playing higher notes.
i remember watching this video around 5 ish years ago when i couldnt even reach a middle C. it helped a lot and i still often think about the things that were said in this video. i can now reach a double g (not consistently though). this video is very helpful
Absolutely brilliant.By far the easiest explanation to understand. I couldn't work out how anyone could figure the tongue position but the whistling explanation immediately sorted out the issue! Thanks.
I am in LA from Centralia, ILL. I started trumpet four days ago. I saw your channel and began fellowing you. I am glad that I did. I am grateful to because your lessons are clear and easy to follow. Even when it comes to those of us that are still learning the notes. Thank you. PS: My horn in Jr High was the French Horn. Got a standing ovation in a proformence. Thanks.
Ok I think this is my new favorite TH-cam channel. I just started trumpet and I’m trying the Star Spangle banner. I couldn’t hit the high notes to save my life. Thank you so much
Dis man a genius and really helped me out I got the trumpet 3 weeks ago and now am able to play high notes and am one of the only ones in my band class who can play high notes on trumpet
I rented a trumpet for a month and I’m seeing how much I can teach myself in that time frame, this vid is a definite help :) (I play the violin and guitar so I have no background with brass or any instrument you use your mouth to play)
You earned yourself a new subscriber! Im in grade 6 band and , i really struggle with high notes on the trumpet. I hear higher notes on my trumpet now! Thanks so much!
This video was helpful for a clarinet player teaching beginning trumpets in band. It helped me to explain the three elements better. It is also just the right amount of time and detail for sharing with my students. Great job!
This video really helped me. Im in 8th grade and I had to play the trombone and trumpet this year. In my school, when you're in Grade 8/9 band, you're expected to play as good as someone that has been playing for two years (first year in 7th grade. When you reach grade 8, you gotta work really hard). Unfortunately, I have 0 experience with both instruments so I had to learn really fast. Trombone was very easy to learn and get used to and even though Ive only been playing for a month, I'm already as good as someone that has been playjng for a year. Trumpet on the other hand is a struggle. I can make a sound and play a few notes but that's about it. Thanks for this video
Im learning trumpet cuz my uncle gifted me one and, wow this helped a lot, i never used to play brass but you helped me so much, keep it up! And let’s go for 100k subs!!
Thank you for this great, succinct video. I appreciated the demonstrations without the mouth piece. Excellent explanations to reinforce skill to be developed - nice work!
I heard trumpets in church and then I began to whistle since I didn't have a trumpet 1 week later my long time friend allowed me to borrow an extra trumpet and I have been having so much fun hrs taught me 1 scale and I like to improve vise and play 2 God so much to learn about the trumpet thanku for sharing and the advice.

im in 7th grade moving into 8th grade, and i felt like i wasn't set because i could only hit a high A on rare occasions, i love these tips and i cant wait to progress to go up another scale, thank you
I have loved the trumpet since I can remember, I was told in grade 5 that I couldnt play it because I was born with a cleft palet. So fast forward 20 years I purchased a pocket trumpet to learn on (a good one it wasnt cheap).. I didnt know where to start with learning but your videos are helping a lot, Thanks!
thanks i was having trouble playing higher notes and had a test and this really helped me out i was told i needed to practice alot on my high notes and i was thinking i was going to get a d+ but thanks to you i got an a- I was randomly searching online through like 25 people who didn't help me with thier vids but you helped me intantly. thank you so much for now on i'm coming to your channel for trumpet lessons
im a beginner band trumpet player in the 6th grade and this really helped me out our whole class struggled with anything above an E let alone something like a G
oh my god i’ve been struggling for so long and this is it, i’ve been learning so quickly and this was my only block i think i have so much potential for this thank you so much man you are an amazing teacher
I'm gonna try it out. I'm playing four years but I have sometimes problems with my embouchure, so sometimes I play to High C and sometimes only to G about the staff. Thanks for your videos!
Thank you man. Good stuff. I’m a beginner, just beginning again. A good friend taught me some basics but I hadn’t practiced in some time. This was more than a great reminder. Most helpful brother. Thnku
finally, one that gets to the point and isnt 30 minutes long
😂 yeah I always hated watching video that waste my time. I wanna respect everyone’s time with my videos.
Exactly!

Wish me luck for my honor band audition! 😱
Good luck! 👍🏾
I hope when the time for honor band comes I will make it

Lol I'm a tenor player too and I just can't understand how to work this thing lol
I’m a woodwind player I have pretty good luck with this I feel confident enough to play a easy 3rd or 4th trumpet part
Two years ago I wonder how low you can play now

Breath control is also helpful as a singer as well. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks! My son is learning trumpet, & I am trying to find resources for him, as I am 100% non-player. This is great help for him!
Thx, I'm slowly getting better. Been playing for a few weeks because I just joined jazz band and we don't generally use Tuba in that. 😂

Thanks for the range exercise. I do these every morning for thirty minutes. I see improvements. I like that.
Howard Ware Entertainment that’s awesome bro! So glad I could help. What notes are you now able to play?
