FANTASTIC lesson, and very useful!
Thanks! Happy to hear it!
Great warm up I have similar warm ups. Thank you very much.yeah!
Awesome warm up ideas. Thank you!
Good. Very good.
In a time crunch, what would you suggest as a warmup that will at least somewhat help with day-to-day consistency and adjusting to the instrument before playing? I personally have a band director who rarely gives us time to warm up before playing and I find it very hard to warm up using the “right things” when I only have less than 5min. It’s especially difficult to recover from lead playing at 7am every day when I can’t adequately warm up and I’m curious to know what you (or anyone else) would suggest. It’s not an ideal situation and I typically always do a full warmup on my own but I just got unlucky to have a strict, careless band director haha.
When I'm in a crunch, I do the chromatic scale from Ab down to D and back up quietly for as long as I have. This serves a similar function to the long tones, but you can also work out your finger muscles, and your articulation if you choose to articulate it. You could also play the chromatic scale up an octave from low C to middle C, or play through any major scales in the low and middle registers at a relatively quiet volume. The goal is just to try not to bludgeon your face right off the bat. Good luck!
My TE tuner shows you're playing a tad higher than a G4 :) I'm starting to play the trumpet and struggling to know what notes I am playing and whether I'm in key (the latter rather, I can tell whether I'm targeting C4, G4, or C5). To what degree is tuning and the tone accuracy important? Do you ever tune your trumpet?
As long as all notes are proportionally off and you are playing alone.. It doesn't really matter. It can't hurt to use a tuner tho.
There are two separate issues here: One is knowing what notes you're playing at any given time, which can be tricky when starting out because so many notes on the trumpet use the same fingerings. It doesn't hurt to use a tuner, but your best bet is to anchor yourself on low C (a helpful anchor as the lowest open note on the trumpet) and feel what it feels like to move to a middle G and middle C. Over time those notes will feel and sound significantly different. The second issue is playing in tune. In a vacuum, as long as you're in tune with yourself, it doesn't make a huge difference unless the way you're playing the trumpet is causing you to play very sharp or very flat. (As a general rule, your tuning slide should be out around an inch, but it can vary from player to player and in different environments.) However, it is important to tune the trumpet if you're playing with an ensemble to ensure that everyone's on the same pitch. Many factors, including most notably the temperature of the room, can affect the intonation of the horn, so it's worth checking your intonation before you play with other musicians.
hi, thank you so much for these videos, these really help me and your sense of humour is quite entertaining in some videos, you’re also my second inspiration for trumpet playing, (second was Markiplier since he played it in high school) but i just wanted to say thank you for all the help you’ve given me and the other viewers.
Thank you, it means a lot! Happy to help!
Amazing lesson, Seth Rogen.
Great! Very helpful.
Pla what specific exercise do i need to build my endurance level?.
Thanks in advance
I tend to play on my left side of my lip. Is that okay? or is it better to practice dead center
