let's all take a moment to appreciate the production quality here! color, framing, lighting, sound, editing, and content. Well done.
Much appreciated!
Oh - hey Dylan!
I was thinking the same thing, Dylan! The most challenging thing is to get the voice and the trumpet at great levels. Mission accomplished here!
Thanks! Trying! Studied some videos on lighting and various video making stuff. Still learning a lot!
Charlie's a world class virtuoso - and he loves to teach. That's a rare combination.
If Arban is the written bible for trumpeters, this video is the movie bible. Charlie this is the most complete, rich, clear and straight forward video I've ever seen about trunpet playing. You are such a gift to us!!!
1. Lip buzzing/mouthpiece (glissando sirens); more volume low, less high.
2. Flexibility (mouthpiece gliss. as guide)
3. Vocalises and lyrical melodies (smooth air stream)
4. Long tones (active support muscles, play soft, breath attack with clear sound
5. Technical studies (play piano)
6. Actually play music (not just technical aspect, but in a musical perspective)
7. Endurance and range
But wait! There's more!

@@jeremyrhoads6899 hahaha nice!
And then repeat after me: Our Father, who art in heaven....
Thx I’m Gona be like the lead trumpet next year so ima need to practivr
Without having completely watched it:
This is pure magic, folks and everything you need to know when it comes to fundamental trumpet playing.
Great stuff, Charlie!
Let's catch up soon!
Just as useful as your UK masterclass. I use that quite regularly in my practice sessions. Mainly the Breaking Bad Long tones and the metronome articulation exercise. The internet can be awesome if used properly.
This is just pure straight sweet honey goodness. This is a gift to a Trumpet player at any level. Been playing for 44 years and yet I still learn and learn. Thank you my brother.
Only 68k views ? For me this is like the New Testament of how to practice ;) 🙌🙌 step by step. So friendly to understand but on a professional and high level. To get this knowledge for free feels simply wrong. Thank you Charlie !!
3 years later and this is still the best trumpet lesson I have ever had. Absolute gold. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into teaching Charlie, it’s very much appreciated and has transformed my playing.
Dear Charlie, thanks a million. Your advice, yet again, is spot on. I have been watching this and several other videos of yours, and I enjoyed them all. I love the way you present your thinking and I am in awe of your kindness. I've been a trumpet player myself for close to 50 years, familiar with many of your conceptual ideas. However, it's fantastic to be reminded again and again. Much love, your friend Thomas Heberer
I began playing trumpet when I was 5yr. old. and loved music ever since - 73yr. now.
I discovered Charlie Porter's videos casually roaming Trumpet videos on you tube. Charlie is the trumpet teacher and guide I've needed my entire life!!! From the standpoint of talent, knowledge and character,If you are sincerely motivated to learn how to play your trumpet the right way, look no more - he is as good as you're likely to find - probably better!!!
Soooo good to have Charlie Porter back! One of the few trumpet players who can play and teach. Loving the Monette btw
Thanks!
He's the best on the web.
@@musicbooksexplained It seems everybody has heard of him. He is a master salesman if nothing else .
I’m just picking up my trumpet again after 30 years to play with the Crossmen 50th anniversary Alumni corps in 2024. Thank you so much for this video. There were many things I needed to hear. Thanks for helping me set up my practice routine moving forward.
After 11 years of band to the college level, 6 years of private lessons, and 2 years of comeback after a 35 year layoff, this is by far the best one hour trumpet lesson I have ever had! Thanks, Charlie, for being so gifted in communicating these basic concepts that so many others have failed to explain so clearly.
Hi Bob your story almost exactly reflects mine! ...totally agree 👍 good luck with the comeback. I really struggle with endurance and im sure theres a lot here to help with that
Me too! 25 years since I've had a group to play with. I keep my horn on my desk as I work from home and play several times per day.
@@cooganbeggs4942 Me too Coogan!
For me it was the saxophone, but I bought a trumpet for my 8 year old son and a flute for my 11 year old daughter for this Christmas. I also bought a French horn and I will learn with them so my plan is to re learn my sax after 40 plus years (59 years old) and also learn the French horn and his trumpet. We have a so so community band that I hope to join in a year or less.
These exercise routines and that "circle concept" behind it have been extremely fruitful for my playing, so I'm very grateful for your tutorial! One thing I have noted is that it gets even more effective when you add pedal tones to the "circle".
Dear Charlie, If you keep giving such wonderful lessons on youtube we won’t need private sessions! Thank you
Haha! Thanks ;)
Yep, I’m another comeback player, and this video is brilliant. Just wish I’d had Charlie as my teacher, or his videos when I first learnt. Thank you Charlie.
I’ll have to save this one and come watch it several times. There is a lot here.
Charlie is a national gem.
The best trumpet tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you Charlie so much.
Taking lesson from a Grammy award winner is gold. That grammy cought my attention so I stuck around to here the whole lesson 👍🏽
I hope we all appreciate the value of these amazing videos from Charlie - a true trumpet legend. We could literally spend our entire life trying to find this information. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

Fundamentally sound, insightful and clearly articulated concepts put into practice. Your gifts of teaching and performance are second to none. Thank you Charlie for sharing your gifts with the world!
Charlie - I love your videos! However....... I taught beginners for 37 years in public schools. I started my career teaching brass to buzz their lips outside the mouthpiece. We would buzz long notes and simple songs. The result was that students would pinch their lips together too much and would end up with pinched sounds.
After a couple of years, I switched to mouthpiece buzzing, which is more like what you do when you play the trumpet and ended up with much better results. I don't believe in buzzing without the mouthpiece for anyone, but if you use it, players that have played for awhile would get better results than beginners.
I hope you can do more teaching about trumpet .Thank you very much
I have played woodwinds for years and recently decided to learn and have fun with brass instruments but not making as much progress I anticipated . With all due appreciation for all the talented teachers encountered on CZcams and other venues, Mr. Porter has to be among the very best, not only for the breath of knowledge of the trumpet and music, but an amazing ability to transmit lessons in a clear, understandable and relatable manner. Moreover, he has an extremely effective and pleasant way of communicating that retains one's interest, facilitates comprehensive learning and motivates proper practicing essential to becoming a good trumpet musician.
Watching Mr. Porter's videos and applying his methodology and techniques has significantly sped up my progress on the trumpet and
am enjoying it more as I now can play some easier tunes. All the best to Mr Porter and many thanks for the sharing and mentoring!
I play the trumpet since 11 years now with privat lessons and I’m not able to buzz my lips like that, never saw it like that. Now I’m frustrated since I can’t figure it out, but you did a great job!
Thanks Charlie ! A gem as usual. Much love from Douala
I'm 15 minutes in on this video, and I swear I already understand more about playing trumpet and getting a more polished sound than I did through all of elementary, middle, and high school playing. I've been getting back into playing music (piano, guitar), and wanting to reconnect with trumpet (I still have my old instrument from high school!) has been on my mind. This video is the first one I clicked on when looking for some direction, and it will clearly be something I revisit a lot in the coming months!
Charlie, I've done this for a few days and already I am achieving better clarity overall in my trumpet playing.
Thank you so much for this!
What a brilliant video. I practiced trumpet the wrong way for way too long and gave it up out of sheer frustration. Now playing trombone and using the techniques Charlie has talked about in his videos. One year into trombone and my technique has already passed 20 years of trumpet playing. I used to think you just had to put in the hours, nope, quality over quantity!
Great video. Thank you for removing my semi-guilt for including the need to play music, too. My practice always includes tunes I dream (and have succeeded!) in playing.
Just wanted to give you a big "thank you" for your video's. I'm re-learning the trumpet after quite some years and your video's help me a lot!
I think this is a great summary of the videos that he's made before. it does a good job of connecting all Charlies foundational concepts in his earlier videos.
You are a Gift to the world of Trumpet Players!! Your incite, experience and presentation are an inspiration! Thank you for so generously sharing your knowledge and expertise with us!!🎺
Charlie this is great. One topic I wish you touched on is how you rest throughout a practice routine? Maybe also do a video on coming back to the trumpet from taking a break. I know I'm having a hard time being consistent and motivated during the pandemic because all my gigs are gone for the foreseeable future. Might be a good topic for another video.
Thanks so much for all the great videos. Love these!
Phenomenal stuff, Charlie! Thanks a lot! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for be back
Thanks Charlie ! A gem as usual. Much love from Duala

You will forever be my sensei. I listen to your album on spotify daily. I cant believe how much you've helped me for free! Everything you said has made a big impact on my playing.
Thank you Charlie. For a "young" trumpet player (4 years), this is Gold! I appreciate you!

Hi , all the way from Belgium ! I restarted playing the trumpet after many years but this time i want to do it properly ! This is really useful
and I never heard it so well explained . Thank you so much and pls keep on posting !!
Best explanation I've heard on how to improve. Great help!
You went into the fundamentals of practice in general. Luckily i had already learned those in general but it is great to keep in mind and not forget. Thank you very much for the reminder and that is stuff everyone should learn for everything in life!, i hope my first trumpet arrives soon!
Wow Charlie...you've given us the "gold" yet again my man ~ many thanks 🖖🏾
Another fantastic video by Charlie Porter with real instruction to be better. Thank you Charlie!
Hi Charlie,
Thanks so very much for yet another great video filled with great information and delivered in a masterful and clear way. Big fan of your playing as well.
Fantastic advice! Thanks, Charlie!
thank you for this vido. Fundamental! So appreciate your work and tutorials.
Thank You for sharing so valuable knowledge
Charlie, it is terrific of you to share all this professional experience and knowledge, this would have been unavailable years ago when starting to learn and play in school bands and school orchestras. Thanks for sharing, so much appreciated.
These videos are gold. Thank you.
I'm so glad I found this video. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
Stumbled on this at just the right time. Playing forever, repeating same mistakes. Rut. Great stuff. Thank you.
I appreciate your teaching Charlie thank you so much
Woww Charlie one of my best lessons I ever saw!! Thank you so much for that
Champion
Busking is just off the table these days, I was making really decent money. But you know what? I love the trumpet even more! My goal is to attain mastery, and then pass on what I know, like you are doing.
Great lesson, great value advise, bravo!!! Thanks
Such an amazing video family thank you
Charlie... we appreciate what it takes for you to produce these teaching videos... Very helpful... You have a heart of a teacher, wanting to pass on what you have learned... Kudos!!
Brilliant teaching! Every brass player should watch this.
I was a student of Jimmy Stamp for 4 years in college. Good that his foundational principles are being passed down. Now to play like I did 45 years ago after decades of not playing. Thanks for the video.
This is so helpful, thank you! The hose metaphor is really helpful for a beginner like me who tends to force the high notes.
Beautiful wisdom, Charlie!
love the new production
Maybe the best trumpet lecture on the net! Thank you 💛
This is incredibly valuable content. I really appreciate it.
I appreciate the absolute gold of advice for so many trumpet players, lots of musicians would want money for this info, so the least you guys could do is like and subscribe
Wonderful masterclass! Thank you for making & sharing this video, such a rich resource of all the basic fundamentals. I feel like I owe you $$ for having had a personal lesson!
What a great video! Thanks so much Charlie for sharing your knowledge with us. Now I'm going back to work ;-)
Best trumpet lesson ever.... Thanks very much Charlie Porter
Thanks Charlie, you're so cool man, you've made my practice so much easier and smoother and fun. Legend x
Great tips! Nice work.
Totally awesome lesson, you are a legend Mr Porter! Such great practical tips to get the most from your practice.
You're a blessing to the horn world. Remain Blessed!
Charlie thank you thank you thank you. You are sharing truths in such a clear and precise way. So many will benefit.
Fantastic Charlie ! There is the way......! Thank you.
Sir, great vidio. Really good explanation about fundamentals, embrochure, sound, range. Very helpful. Thanks for this master class
I'm a sax player and I learned a lot from this video! thanks a lot for such a great video with so many great advices.
You are the best teacher ! I deeply appriciate you .
This really is a masterclass, it's inspiring how you make it look so easy too! Your violin bowing anology reminded me of Eddy Chen's lesson (before twoset) on intonation; he suggests that practising muscle memomy is not enough to play in tune but that practising hearing (or singing) the notes in tune is your best chance of consistently playing in tune. And so it is for playing high on trumpet, if you know the sound your body can find the slot better. Someone else famous (sorry don't remember) has suggested playing regular tunes 8va (15ma for you!?) to increase range and I think this really works, and probably because you are hearing the notes clearly in your mind.
