Hey Jon! I've loved following your journey. Perhaps if you still wanted to set deadlines for yourself you could upload an excerpt or playing video and a typical Jon Talks video on alternating weeks? Your discussion videos are awesome, but then again, we also love just hearing you play!
Sam, thanks for watching and I'm glad you've been enjoying my videos! Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely change it up a bit and have some videos that are quick to crank out and others that take a little longer to get right. Glad you can tolerate my playing in service of mouthpiece demonstration :)
Great work, Jon! Congrats to you and your colleagues on a fully tenured section!! That’s a great feeling. And bravo to your management for keeping y’all on the payroll!! Enjoy your “break,” as busy as I’m sure it will be.
Nooooooooo- never take a break from trumpet! Jokes aside- Jon is my colleague in the symphony and a ferocious support to everything we do. Rest well and safely over the festive season, my friend, and give my love to Courtney who is also a ferocious advocate for teaching and the arts. I can’t wait to be onstage with you again!
Tom - thank you so much for the kind words! Your support is always appreciated. Hope you had the happiest of holiday seasons and indeed I hope to see you at work again soon.
Hy. Thank you for all the information. Congratulations. Do you have any advice on how bring and keep my jaw forward? When I play the best, my jaw is a bit forward and teeth alligned,but on long phrases or 2 octave intervals repeated for example the law is comming back and embouchure collapses,need excess of pressure etc. Any advice on how to push the jaw and keep it forward? Exercises/Tips? Thank you for your time.
This all makes sense to me (your explanation of your jaw usage) - but I would be careful of overusing your jaw muscles. TMJ is a very common disorder among brass players I believe partially because of these less familiar jaw muscles. I would see if there’s a way to refocus your attention away from the physical action of playing and more towards your ideal/goal sound and interpretation. Thanks for watching and commenting - great to hear from you!
Sure. There are many Bb cornet designed specifically for British Brass Band style playing use, like those made by Besson, York, Yamaha Neo series etc. These are all very fine instruments! In American orchestras though, there is a preference for a certain kind of cornet sound which has most of the acoustical characteristics of a cornet but with probably more projection built in. Common orchestral type cornets are the Getzen 3810 C Cornet, the Yamaha 9435 C Cornet, or even an array of Bach Bb and C cornets.
Jon, you are doing a super job! Your videos answer so many questions! Thank you and your wife for your hard work! 🎺👍
Truly, it's my pleasure!
Congrats on a great channel!
Thanks for your support, Josh!

Love the channel. But bummer, now I don't have anything to look forward to every Tuesday. LOL.
Thanks for giving us trumpet nerds a place to hang out.
Don't worry, there still be lots of content coming! Thanks for watching, commenting, hanging, and being part of our new little community. :)

Thanks so much, Doug! It is a great feeling indeed. I had a wonderful and mostly restful break, and now am ready to get back at it. Best wishes!

Merry Christmas Jon! I'm looking forward to more videos next year!
Thanks, Cliff! Hope you had a happy holiday season, and yes more videos coming!
We need to get you over the hurdle for subscribers, so you can make that sweet RUclips ad revenue coin.
Lol - We'll get there eventually, Chris! Thanks for your support. :)
Now this is a good RUclipsr!

Jon on one of your previous vids you mentioned a orchestral cornet. Could you explain the differences of that a other cornets?
Sure. There are many Bb cornet designed specifically for British Brass Band style playing use, like those made by Besson, York, Yamaha Neo series etc. These are all very fine instruments!
