I will watch the rest of this video later, but wanted to express my happiness (along with the entire trumpet/music community) for your recovery! Your willingness to be transparent and so giving of your knowledge and experience is truly inspirational. Big thanks to all in the background that helped and made this possible!
The "lower jaw out" tip seems to be the key that has unlocked the next level of range for me. I've been searching for this key for about two years. Thank you Wayne!
Much of what has been said here on fundamentals has been talked about by others but the way Wayne presents it sounds fresh and with his background you pay attention closely. I have already woodsheded a couple of his ideas over the last couple of days with tremendous results. One more thing, the number one thing I have noticed the most over the last several years is how good he has become at improvisation. Don't sell yourself short in this department Wayne, people might come for the high notes but they will come away with your musicianship!

Wayne, thank you for the valuable suggestion and advice. During this pandemic quarantine, we musicians are given an enormous amount of time to re-evaluate our sound, playing, and career. I keep referring to this video and each time I find the answer to any problems I may come up with. You have changed my sound which facilitates the articulation of my playing. As we get old so does our way of making music and you have given me an improved lifeline.
This is one of the best lessons I've ever had. The aperature is King. Don't over blow. Never use more than 75% effort. Use less fuel. Makes so much sense. Thank you Wayne for sharing you insight and experience. So good. All the best to you.
On sight reading, one of the things that helped me the most early on was playing church hymns from the hymnal and having to transpose it as I played it. Really gets your mind engaged in the activity and forces you to focus.
So glad to hear you talk about the breathing issue. Cichowicz said to take the amount of breathe you need for the phrase you're going to play. And he was all about staying relaxed when breathing. But still so many teachers talking about taking the BIGGEST BREATHE YOU CAN TAKE!! ALWAYS!!!! But then they tell you to relax.... ;-)
It's so nice to hear an interview that really dives into the building of one's playing for a change rather a bio. Students and professionals really need this kind of insightful and vulnerable exposure. We had dinner in Milwaukee Wayne, so glad that you're on the mend. Thank you for the continued inspiration.
Wayne looks to be a down to earth guy. Unpretentious, even though he has a BIG Resume as a Trumpet player. This video is a pleasure to enjoy and learn from. Thank you!
Wow. This was helpful in so many ways. A lot of tips that may be the key for many of us to improve our trumpet playing. Played lead trumpet back in high school, college, but the upper register seemed unobtainable, especially when I watched other players that seem to play up there with way less effort. Moved on to other musical endeavors, but videos like this inspire me to give the trumpet another chance.
Thank you so much for bringing Wayne to us. I learned I have a lot of work to do on aperture and balancing the air stream. Amazing results already. Good job on the marketing too. I saw the promo on Facebook otherwise I would have missed out.
Amazing that he mentioned Larry Hall. Larry is an old friend of mine, though I haven't seen him for well over 45 years. We played 'Holiday on Ice' in Indianapolis together, along with 'The Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bayley Circus. I was certainly not the trumipet player Larry was. Is Charley Davis still in Las Vegas?
Trumpeter Louis Armstrong's nickname was "Satchmo" which was a contraction for his original nickname which was "Satchel Mouth", given to him because he had a mouth and lips that resembled an old worn satchel. (small piece of purse-like hand luggage) Despite this, he played trumpet beautifully as a master musician and he was an American icon and often recognized as the "Father of American Jazz". Additionally, despite the fact that he had a voice that was as rough as a long gravel road, he invented popular singing, and his intonation and singing were pitch perfect. He was an American and world treasure who was given the position of America's Goodwill Ambassador.
"One of the answers that seems to work is getting the lower jaw out". 23:59 This is a major factor when accessing the upper range with the addition of compressed air.
A lot of trumpet players have not yet discovered Wayne. Most of the really specialized things and people in life are rarely known by most of the population. If you asked 350,000,000 Americans to name three burger joints they would say McDonalds, Burger King and Jack in the Box. Fewer than 30,000 could name three gourmet restaurants.
I really appreciate the physiology of some of your explanations. It’s much more understanding and complete. My granddaughter’s viola teacher said in sighting reading read ahead of what your playing. Boy, it’s great being taught by one of the very top guys.
Enjoyed the video; thanks. 67 yr old trying to touch my trumpet youth. One thing I'm unclear on---what differentiates blowing the air stream faster as opposed to harder? I don't know how to instruct my body to blow faster. Can you (or another commenter) explain faster vs harder to me?
Dude?? I thought you were a total Jimmy Stamp guy and playing tuba as well? Now you're agreeing with Claude Gordon? Glad to hear that. I never studied with CG myself but was with Bob Valle 24 years and feel like I knew him, heh. I got 24 years of stories about O'Donnell, Harry Kim, Tom Holden, John Rosenberg so much I feel like they were "uncles" to me. :)
Hi Good Wayne good to see your Recovering ! I also am new Friends Andrey with a Trumpet He's a Very Good Player Met you the Band are all Russian the Band is Leonid & Friends It would be Great thing to Meet you and He is also a Tall player so are you .
"I started as a French horn player... and I switched to trumpet and... I knew... that I was destined to become a first trumpet player... and it's all I've wanted to do..." I am SURE you mean that it has been all you wanted to do SINCE GIVING UP FRENCH HORN, and that trumpet was the obvious route... LOL... Wait, I have a great sense of humor... I started on piano at age 7. Always have and still play - performed for Van Cliburn (an immense honor) - don't ask - I'm old!!! LMAO!!!! I started on French horn at age 11. I was playing with a major symphony orchestra at age 22. Holy Scheist~~~~ It took 11 FRAKKING YEARS to get there. LOL!!!!!! OK. So, after a while I moved on to tycoon dreams. Made a fortune. Lost a fortune. Got to missing brass playing (yeah, it's a very special feeling - that I am sure that saxophonists would relate to...) Decided: I did the French horn thing. Been there, done that. TRUMPET!!!!! Now? Bought an Electro-Voice RE20 mic to record my playing on a B&S Challenger II Bb trumpet with a Schilke Symphony Series M1* mouthpiece. Big. Fat. Rich. Free. HUGE. This is a GREAT LIFE!!!!! GO FOR YOUR DREAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bless you all, immensely!
As a life-long pianist I have discovered, over the years, that the type of hands one has is not important. Little baby hands, girly hands, lumberjack hands, fat hands, short hands, long fingers, sausage fingers...none of it matters. It is the mind and the heart which actually play the music.
Hi Wayne I was a the first time having my first Horn was a Olds Director a Bb with a 7c I was a basic Player no Teacher no Reading lips was having trouble Playing soar cheeks no one to Help Teacher ! But I seamed to be better Player by The Ears No one knew . Then the accident got hit in my Mouth very sad with a Baseball not Bad for 6 Years then hung up my Horn since 1975
I'm interested in one of Wayne's mouthpieces but I don't want to lose my tone on the lower range, I was looking at the wb gr studio but I would like a recommendation if possible. My range is increasing with my bobby shew jazz but seems limited . I appreciate some feedback
Question,. You said we can all do double C we just got to unlock the door. Is this the same concept as flute, no muscle or anything required but hat magic moment when your air stream is perfect and a beautiful 3rd or 4th octave rings out. So it really is a mental game, and the physical is simply endurance?

Amazing, thank you! We've added this to the description so chapter points are available on the timeline.
@@longandmcquade I need to finish the rest. Will edit once I have time.
Thanks for the effort 💪🏻

Love it: "Breathe for the phrase you're going to play". Thank you Wayne; Hope you are better; Wonderful informative dialogue.
Thanks, Long & McQuade, for sponsoring this in depth clinic! Always great to hear what Mr. Bergeron is thinking, many pearls of wisdom. Thanks, Wayne!
Wayne looks to be a down to earth guy. Unpretentious, even though he has a BIG Resume as a Trumpet player. This video is a pleasure to enjoy and learn from. Thank you!
He doesn't just look it... he is!!
I am so pleased you are feeling better and recovering well
The tip about using only 75% of your air has transformed my playing.
Master you're a Great Researcher. Blessed trumpeter you're. Thanks🙏🙏🙏🏆🏆🏆🏆🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🥉🥈🥇
Good to see you, Wayne!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge from Ralph Davella former Carmine Caruso student,
Wow. This was helpful in so many ways. A lot of tips that may be the key for many of us to improve our trumpet playing. Played lead trumpet back in high school, college, but the upper register seemed unobtainable, especially when I watched other players that seem to play up there with way less effort.

Thanks so much for this livestream. Super helpful! Thankful that his health battle has been resolved.
Fantastic information from a truly admired master. Thank you for all you shared here Wayne. Best wishes on your continued recovery.
As far as I am concerned this fellow is top shelf. Sal Cracchiolo who played with Tower of Power always spoke highly of Wayne.
What a great modest man, FASCINATING vid. Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much for bringing Wayne to us. I learned I have a lot of work to do on aperture and balancing the air stream. Amazing results already. Good job on the marketing too. I saw the promo on Facebook otherwise I would have missed out.

Thanks for sharing this to such a wide "eco-system". Regards from The Netherlands.
Thanks 🙏 a lot: Trumpeters and the Trumpet is Are Godly. Greetings from Germany!! 👍
Thank you too!
Maravilha de aula. God bless you 👍🏽🙏🏽🎺
Insightful and wise. Thank you Wayne.
Best wishes Wayne. Thanks for sharing this insight
Hugely useful and modest with it

This was great, Thanks guys, thanks Wayne.
His hair is impeccable

Glad you like it!

Yeah Wayne! Great stuff as always!!
this is gold!
Gold indeed!
This is Clark Kent. But you know him as Superman!
So good.
Is it true that pedal tones help players play in the upper register.
Wayne mentioned a new version of the 8335LA was in the works. Is there a release date set?
"I started as a French horn player... and I switched to trumpet and... I knew... that I was destined to become a first trumpet player... and it's all I've wanted to do..."

YA ESTOY MIRANDO EL TRADUCIDO
Anyone know why he moves his third finger to the second valve sometimes
Hi Wayne I was a the first time having my first Horn was a Olds Director a Bb with a 7c I was a basic Player no Teacher no Reading lips was having trouble Playing soar cheeks no one to Help Teacher ! But I seamed to be better Player by The Ears No one knew . Then the accident got hit in my Mouth very sad with a Baseball not Bad for 6 Years then hung up my Horn since 1975
I have a question for Wayne and was unable to attend live. Is it possible to get his email address?
Email questions to us at socialweb@long-mcquade.com and we'll forward it to Wayne. Thanks!
Wayne how would you play altissimo high G on a trumpet.
I'm interested in one of Wayne's mouthpieces but I don't want to lose my tone on the lower range, I was looking at the wb gr studio but I would like a recommendation if possible. My range is increasing with my bobby shew jazz but seems limited . I appreciate some feedback
Long tones!
Do you play pedal tones on a trunpet.
Wayne how do you play the higher notes above high C
33:06 Keep the mouthpiece on your lips. That sure sounds a lot like Caruso.
Sorry for your french horn, but the vandals acted on personal orders of the Trumpetgod Himself.
PUES SI TODO ESTA MUY BIEN, PERO NO HABLO INGLES
Hindi tenslisn pppp
Oh lead trumpet screecher. I don't like that sound. Breath and ideas more dark less brassy.
Too much talking at the beginning
Try skipping ahead.
I know a few trpt players that could use a good clinic. Is Betty Ford still in operation?
Question,. You said we can all do double C we just got to unlock the door. Is this the same concept as flute, no muscle or anything required but hat magic moment when your air stream is perfect and a beautiful 3rd or 4th octave rings out. So it really is a mental game, and the physical is simply endurance?
Like Joe used to say about certain lead players:
The higher he goes, the higher he goes.
I don’t want to say lead players have big egos, but I understand during sex they yell out their own name.
