There are two kinds of whistle. If you blow with very gently and freely with very open , soft and supple lips you may find a whistling sound if you are forming a small enough opening in the lips. The whistle in the video can be usually only be achieved with a very clean and undamaged mouthpiece. If the piece has corrosion in the backbone it may not work at all. If the throat is too open it probably won't work. If you have any other mouthpieces to try one of them might work. Other than than that, don't really worry about getting the whistle. It is a just a reference point for how strongly you can move the air through the piece. Actually we don't play trumpet that way at all but, it is a very good way to (gradually and sensibly) develop blow power. Just do a few repetitions (8-10?) with high power one right after another. This will make your blower tired and warm your body up a bit 😆. I mainly work on refining my breathing system coordination the I am doing this exercise and then I focus on staying loose even when blowing at the maximum power of which I am capable. You don't have to make it whistle 😉. Please also check out the other two videos I did on the subject, thanks. And tell all your trumpet friends what an amazing channel this is 😁.
Hey Steven, I cant get the whistle at the moment, how would you recommand working my way up to it?
