Hi Deanna!! I stumbled upon this video by accident and was so pleased to see that you’ve gotten back up on the trumpet horse again! This was a wonderful presentation that I enjoyed thoroughly. I enjoyed watching how you walk the viewer through the task of preparation….you exhibit the joy of self discovery and it’s infectious! Onward and upward…I’m already looking forward to the next instalment!
Hi Rick, It's so great to “see” you here. Thanks for watching my video and your feedback! I really appreciate your kind words. And, yes, finally brought my trumpet back to the forefront! It’s so good to be playing again more regularly. My next instalment is in the works! Thanks for commenting here. Cheers, Deanna
Hey, thank you for doing these videos! I played trumpet for three years and took a break for a year. Now I'm starting to play again and to get my sound even better than when I stopped. It's really inspiring and helpful to watch you on your journey!
Hi, thanks for watching and for commenting, too! You're most welcome for the videos! They're fun to make and, as you probably can tell, I love talking about trumpet playing! 🙂 I wish you all the best as you go forward with your playing. Cheers, Deanna
With staccato I tend to split notes like the study you were playing on this video ie silences in between. Where is the tongue after each staccato note? Does it tongue stop ie place tip of tongue immediately after the start or suspended and gently articulates against the teeth quickly moves away and so on?
Hi Craig, it’s a great question and timely! I’m just finishing up the Clodomir #5 video and in the next one after that, I’m actually going to be talking about tonguing in general and staccatos specifically. That video is already about half done and shouldn’t be too long coming out after #5. So… if you don’t mind waiting, I’ll be able to answer your question better by showing and talking about it in video format. Cheers! Deanna
how are you tonguing? are you tonguing behind the upper teeth ? I'm using an semi-anchor tonging technique which seems to allow a lot of variation in the attack.
As I've been doing these videos I've been really trying to assess just what exactly I'm doing so I can explain it. It's an interesting exercise to be sure! For tonguing, my tongue essentially touches behind my front teeth and does also touch at the bottom of the teeth, tho I think I'm feeling the full tooth to the gum...I think. And, then it's out of the way quick! I'm not familiar with the semi-anchor tonguing technique. What is that?
@@TrumpetBuzz It's just what I call taking some aspects of Balanced embouchure, and TCE(trust me do not go down those rabbit holes!)basically it helps me to get a faster air stream. by having the tongue arch almost always in use. seems to me you played just fine prior, so don't even worry about that. too much thinking about what we are doing can really get us into a spiral pretty fast. The only time you might worry about those things would be if you struggled to get high notes or that you endurance was off, but you already played without those issues so you're golden.
Hi, BE is new to me. I just read a quick blurb about it and it sounds interesting. I did look at a the TCE method (just watched a couple videos a few weeks ago). That one, the TCE, is not for me. ....that said.... I do know that the tongue definitely ...at least for me .... plays a role in sound production. Tongue and tone.....I have always really focussed on my tone and producing as big, warm and centred sound as I could, though, I'm not sure how well it comes through in the videos. Partly it's that I'm still getting my skills back. But also, I've been trying different mics to figure out how to sound more like me. I'm really not happy with how I sound in my first Clodomir studies. The later ones are a different mic. But I digress. :-). Re the Tongue: yes, when I was working on my higher range way back when (even first just the upper part of the staff, but then higher), I could tell that as I went up, inevitably something would change and tone production got harder and it didn't sound so good. I kept working at it to figure out what was going on. What I figured out that worked for me was to focus on producing as open, warm and centred a tone as I could on all notes regardless of where they are. And that meant I had to be aware of what was happening mechanically inside my mouth...with my tongue. Sounds complex and definitely possible to get hung up on. But I just found it fun to play with my sound and see what I could do with it to play open and warm and easy. Eventually I arrived at what I do now. I think experimenting is a great idea! And, savouring the sounds we can make on this instrument is the best!! 🎺 🙂
@@TrumpetBuzz th-cam.com/video/bcGOM-6Opy4/w-d-xo.html this is Bahb Civiletti, he is an amazing player and the only known one that does tce and has recorded (classically) to my knowledge. TCE has the advantage of big bright and centered sound in all registers. but it lacks lyrical playing and light attacks and I'm not sure about double and triple tonguing. still Civiletti is a formidable player with almost impossible endurance and range. let me know your thoughts? th-cam.com/video/B-4hrGeV3rk/w-d-xo.html,
Thanks for the link. I do wonder about multiple tonguing and honestly, not sure how he's even doing single tonguing given the tongue is busy buzzing as I understand it. ...It's not an approach I'm fully convinced about, even with this recording. I've seen such other greats like my early favourite, Dokshitzer and Andre (of course) and today there are so many... not to mention the great jazz players who have amazing registers. But...thanks for sharing about it! cheers! 🎺
Oh...I understand. Lots of folks aren't so fond of it. It is a great tool, tho. I think of it as having my own drummer playing along with me. With the app I use I can even set it to sound like a clave!

I hate playing with a metronom😕
