Man , your approach to teaching trumpet is the best explanations I’ve ever heard along with a sense of humour kinda like Art Carney!!
Anyway ! Great RUclips videos, the best yet man !!

Thank you, I’ve watched lots of videos in the past trying to figure this out (to play the didgeridoo) and so far yours made the most sense and you explained it well.

[@drmikesmaths853]

Excellent explanation. Much appreciated. Thank you.

As soon as I start to breathe in through my nose all breath stops leaving my mouth

Wow. That's crazy!

[@forestweston5055]

Good explanation. I’ve been a circular breather for 13 years (didj, tbone) and trying to teach that initial feeling of circular breathing is the toughest thing to do; you did great with it! I’m gonna steal some of your vernacular to use with students. 👍🏼thanks!

I can breathe in through my nose, but like I have to stop or else I Feel as I I'm gonna "overfill" my lungs after like 2 second

[@MexicanCrusader]

I can finally do it:) not well, but i can do it

[@marcelpiekarz]

Practice makes perfect

[@MexicanCrusader]

@@marcelpiekarz I haven't done it in like 9 months lol

[@marcelpiekarz]

@@MexicanCrusader damn lol

[@ancientbreakdown3724]

I had it going for a good like 3 seconds but as soon as i thought of stopping my cheeck muscles all the air stopped entirely

[@RidgewoodSchoolofMusic]

Keep working at it and you'll get there! You can always practice without the trumpet to practice keeping it going. Good luck!

[@ChaplainAcosta]

The trouble for me is pushing the tongue in a way that doesn't interrupt airflow.

Très interessant

[@user-kb2og7bq8g]

I get the concept of what your saying my problem keeping the note buzzing when I’m breathing any suggestions please?
