Queen! Yo I found your channel today. I started playing trumpet when I was 12 years old. I started playing professionally when I was 15. I played with mariachi Sol de Mexico. My teacher was Jose Hernandez. I’m 34 now and I havent played in several years and I picked up my trumpet on the first of this month. Any tips on someone who wants to play again after a couple of years with out playing? Love your channel mate thank you
there's a lot of good here. as you teach, though, I would be judicious with singing analogies. there are lots of people for whom singing makes them very self-conscious, or who sing with a ton of unnecessary tension--problems that will carry over into their playing.
Hey man! That Video may rescue me. Playing for 24 years (im 27). Im Good or maybe top in sight Reading, technical stuff but there is one Major Problem: the damn high Register. I have to fold my lower lip inside (Like Rolling) to achieve high notes but thats Not working and especially sounding bad. How to stay in the same Position/feeling? Any excercises for your advise? :) Great Video!
Thanks for your comment! It can be hard to coordinate, and overthinking could make things worse. Think of how you can flex your bicep without moving your arm. Yes it will flex by doing this 💪🏻, but you can also relax it in that position. You can flex it without moving by resisting the motion. You can also do this with your face muscles which you can practice in the mirror flexing without changing the shape too much. Try not to do tooo much of this on the horn because you might need less change than you think to get up in the register, but the mechanism is right. Let me know if this overcomplicates it 😅😅
@@maxparrish4718 I’ve always been habitually playing on the red of my bottom mouthpiece because of my slightly fuller lips, nobody ever told me that it was incorrect and now I feel it’s too late to change it cause I’m almost in high school
@@qowprjabfutog no its not. A good embouchure is the most important thing you can have. You still have plenty of time to fix it before college. Believe me you want to.
