Major props to the student for doing this. I get anxiety recording for just myself to hear, let alone a RUclips audience. Now, his playing is helping other people too.
Thank you, Ryan, and thanks to your student for making himself available to demonstrate the ideas you brought to him! This is EXACTLY what practice should look like. The student’s gaining awareness of problems, and giving them avenues for addressing them, is what we’re put into the teaching chair to impart! This is an outstanding example of how coordination of 1. air and articulation, 2. focused energy to one’s desired sound profile, and 3. understanding phrasing goals can immediately result in MAJOR improvements! Each alone doesn’t necessarily make for better and more enjoyable playing, but addressing them one by one then applying them in a layered effort does! Bravo!!!
Without question, this instructional content is great. More videos of this type would be fantastic. Seeing your pedagogy in practice is very much appreciated.
This is a great analysis for educators but also for those that are self-teaching as it's an approach that breaks down elementes of trumpet playing into it's most important components and from there you can build up, thanks for sharing !
I saw this video in my recommended section, and the student is playing the same concert piece I'm trying to practice playing. This is awesome playing from him
The improvement was incredible in this short video. Also seemed like he warmed up a little and his nerves calmed down as the video progressed. Keep it up!
Yeah, his improvement is one of the reasons I wanted to share. I did ask him if he was on with me sharing our lesson on RUclips, so maybe he felt a little nervous thinking about that.
I would also have him play the 1st 2 sixteenth note sequences in order for at least 6 times in a row.... so he gets the pattern DOWN. Then move to the next 2 sixteenth note sequences (1st half of the next bar). Continue to do this through to the end. Rinse and repeat so you REALLY get the pattern down. AND make sure you have PLENTY of AIR... which is the reason why I suggest repeating each sequence of bars at least 6 times. SO MUCH of what we do is related to how we "meter out" our air.
So true - each note we leave sets the stage for the one that follows! And the leaving and entering of each note well and fully-expressed is what makes music!
You mentioned playing in small spaces and how that can affect our approach/make us forget to project. I play in a pit orchestra and it’s small and packed with players making it even harder to project. I wonder if you have any tips for approaching this situation. TIA!
Yeah, that’s a tough situation. I’d start by making sure you have a clear picture of what you sound like when you’re projecting, and then focusing on making that sound, and not forcing anything past that.
To further the point of projection, Maynard Ferguson said when he was playing with Kenton, he’d play to the exit sign in the back of the hall to project his sound
In my original reply our google friends translated thicket tone. What was meant was "richer" tone. Why does one person possess such a richer tone than others? It is the mouthpiece placement on lips? Is it the airstream? Certainly not the instrument.
I understand now. I think the biggest factor in how different people sound boils down to the sound each player hears in their own head. This is why listening is so important. Hearing other great, beautiful, rich sounds will work its way into your ear and massively influence the sound you make. Also, making sure your sound is in the center of the pitch so it rings is important. Having enough air support to create a full, stable sound in all registers and dynamics is a big factor too. Hope this helps!
Not being so metronomic with my playing, but being lyrical/musical instead between each note. Not to mention being accurate stylistically with my articulations!

Can definitely be stressful. I’m also grateful my student is so willing to share.

I’m glad this video resonated with you so much. Thank you for watching!

Sounds good, I will definitely get more videos like this on the channel
This was a great video, Ryan! Thank you for sharing and please thank your student for agreeing to participate!
I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

I’m glad you got so much out of the video, thanks for watching!
I‘d love to watch more videos like this!
I appreciate you letting me know! Thanks for watching.

Good timing for the video I guess!

Love it more please.
You got it, thanks for watching!
New follower here.. can't wait to scan the rest of your channel. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤ Now I have to go shake the rust off 😂
Welcome, I'm glad you're here!
Awesome. Thanks to you and your student for sharing this. Great practicers make great teachers and that's definitely the case here!!
Thank you for watching!
Fantastic! Thank you so much!
My pleasure!

Yeah, this would be a great strategy, totally agree!

This is a great quote. Making sure you’re set up well no matter where you are headed.

@ it’s definitely hard not to overplay in that situation. It’s quite loud! I use earplugs and try to play as easy as I can

💯 to the back of the hall
@@RyanBeachtrumpet no one projected more than MF

Please can you teach me a song with key c
Why the tone difference? I've played next to other trumpets and they have a ticket tone. Been searching out the reason why.
Do you mean why do my student and I have different tone?
@RyanBeachtrumpet yes

As a college trumpet student, I can relate lol
What do you feel you most relate to in this video?
Not being so metronomic with my playing, but being lyrical/musical instead between each note. Not to mention being accurate stylistically with my articulations!
Well, at least you didn't sell your Bb. :)
It’s the best Bb in the world, no way I’d sell it
