Relatable Person Dope! That’s awesome to hear. What notes are you now able to play? Here’s a more detailed video on how to play higher notes on 🎺 th-cam.com/video/h0qmKaB7F30/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps as well! 👍🏾
Your videos are soooo good. Your instructions are clear, concise, and includes tips for all potential players. I''m going to make sure my trumpets players know about you and your channel.
You’re buzzing and making a sound?! That’s great! Don’t worry about matching my pitch. But if u want to learn how to play higher check out this video. I teach you how... th-cam.com/video/h0qmKaB7F30/w-d-xo.html

Good morning, thanks for your videos, they are very clear and go straight to the point. I have a question about the buzzing and the air flux: my teeth are severely crooked, and I've been told that it can be an unsolvable issue for playin the trumpet. Nevertheless, I decided to approach the trumpet anyway (one of my favourite players is Chet Baker, who was able to have a great, mellow sound altough he had a devastated mouth, so he set an encouraging example for me). Now, my question is: do you suggest me to keep tryin'? Can you really achieve a great control over sustain and intonation if you have a problem like that? Is it just a problem of learning how to control the air in my particular case, or would I be better to quit? Thanks again.
Good morning Denny Sofia and thank you for watching my videos! First of all I WOULD NOT advise anyone to quit especially if someone like you has set their mind to play trumpet. Yes having crooked teeth can affect your playing but if you're determined anything is possible. There's a video somewhere floating around of a boy playing trumpet with his feet because he has not arms! 😵 I had a teacher, Larry Bowen, who had a underbite and was still able to play trumpet like a boss. Just be mindful that everyone's anatomy is different. You and a teacher will have to work to find the most optimum trumpet angle and mouthpiece placement in order for you to blow an air stream that's not interrupted. However, you'll have to find a teacher that willing to work with you rather than encouraging you to quit. For starters, just make sure that your teeth are open so that you can let the airstream out. If you can do that while making your embouchure, then your can play trumpet. How long have you been playing trumpet?
I made a switch from Trumpet 🎺to the saxophone about a decade ago and now I really miss my Trumpeting days. Any hope for me regaining my embouchre? I just subscribed to your channel
@@TheBlackTrumpeter thank you so much. I guess the expectation part is really very important, somehow I kinda ignored that part. I'll definitely gulp in the materials you have here and hopefully find my footings over time...
I too have full lips, what size mouthpiece do you suggest? I can play the lower notes just fine but cannot seem to get in the higher range... thoughts? Thanks, Mark
I have a question I have been playing off to the side for a while now and that embouchure was really inconsistent, but when I did what you showed for the airstream it was a bit more to the middle should I try an embouchure like that?
If the more centered embouchure is more consistent for you, it give you the sound and technique you want then yes. But it's hard to prescribe if I can't see and hear it for myself to know for sure. I teach private lessons and the first lesson for all new students are free. If you would like personal feedback from me about your embouchure then lets hop on a video call.

Please help I just got a trumpet and sometimes I can get a sound just fine and other times I can't get a sound for a while and then all the sudden I get one is that normal for a complete beginner no teacher. Sometimes I get steady sound for a while .Recieved at Christmas and though I can read music still unable to use books due to this reason 😂🙈
Hey what note is b-flat can you please tell me because I need help because I'm on a little level than that so if you can help me can you say it's just life I don't think so I think yeah the same lie but if you see it on here can you please help me if you can if you can but if you can it's fine totally fine we'll see you later
I have full lips like you, i always struggle to get middle C with both top and bottom lip inside the cup. I tend to place my bottom lip close to the edge and adjust as I go up the scale. Is this incorrect? Advice please! Oh I'm on a 1C Thanks in advance! ✊🏽
Jonathon Agosto Thanks for reaching out! When I play the trumpet the goal for me is to play it as efficiently as possible. There are a few ways to do this: 1) play with one embouchure...by not making drastic changes to play from low to high and vice versa 2) playing with just enough air/air stream to play any note that is centered and full...you do this by playing quietly and allowing your body/chops figure out how to play it free of tension. I don't focus on equipment as much because everyone is unique and I've only had experience with a few pieces that work for me in specific situations. However, the best way for me to help you is to see and hear you play. Email me a clip of you playing a scale (slurred and tongued) at theblacktrumpeter@gmail.com And I'll give you some specific feedback.
The Black Trumpeter thanks for the timely response! I will keep that advice in mind as I practice. I'll get that video to you as soon as I get the chance. Thanks again!
Hi - I'm a brother with Jay-Z sized lips, (1) do you use a standard sized mouthpiece and (2) do brothers with large lips use different types of mouth pieces.
God Bless You!! I was having a hard time playing high notes and I followed your instructions and now it's easier!!

I just subscribed to your channel
Your embouchure can always be rebuilt and strengthened. Just be patient and keep expectations low.
@@TheBlackTrumpeter thank you so much. I guess the expectation part is really very important, somehow I kinda ignored that part. I'll definitely gulp in the materials you have here and hopefully find my footings over time...
Thank you sir! 🙏🏼

Daniel Fountenberry (1) I'm play on a Bach 3C (2) I'm not sure. I'm the only person I know that has full lips and plays trumpet.
👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
How the fuck this is impossible
