      @@TheBlackTrumpeter I actually played low brass (euphonium) in 6th grade. I'm 22 now and I bought a cheap trumpet about 2 months ago and started trying to learn. I love brass but I also wanted a way to learn to read music that's a little easier than trying to jump right in to piano sheet music. I figure if I only have to deal with treble clef and one note at a time that should help me understand music notation better ha ha. I find that learning more instruments helps you reach a higher level of understanding of music generally.

      Haven't played since elementary- The Jazz band at my high-school has been asking me to participate. I remember the fingerings, but my tone was off for some reason, this really helped. It did bring back major flashbacks of my instructor accosting me for not keeping my posture straight while playing though! She was a tough one!

    Thank you! You did a great job describing concepts which are difficult to capture. I'm a comeback player after 18 years off. I was previously a high mouthpiece pressure player and I overblew, so the air backed up into my neck.
    I am gradually relearning the instrument with a focus on connecting all registers of the horn and maintaining relaxation and good tone throughout my whole range.
    I was nodding along when you described all the different sounds related to tension and closed airway.
    Thanks for the video, keep it up!

    Thank you so much! I noticed I had a fuller sound when I used your first tip. I think I still need to play a lot of long tones though in order to improve my tone, but these tips will have me practicing them correctly. I'm mainly a saxophone player so changing partials is the most difficult thing for me to get used to.

    All your tips about posture and positioning of the mouth are similar to singing tips. And all the tips about being relaxed and avoid tension everywhere are common to every other instrument.
    The more I learn about music, the more I feel that it's all about being relaxed.
    Great video man, it helped me a lot !

  • @KurtFishArmServe
    @KurtFishArmServe Pƙed rokem +1

    Great advice! Thank you! On the slouching or standing too tall quiz, I’m watching my tuner, which makes me adjust to playing in the correct pitch. Typically I’m way sharp when super tense before a practice or concert, so I’d say standing to tall makes you go sharp, and slouching makes you go flat.

    Hi Aaron, what a timely video. I just sat my AMEB Grade 1 trumpet exam and got the results today. I received a B+ mark (Yay for me!) and the comments included that I needed to work on my tone and that my playing was sharp during one of my pieces. I’m the grade 3 teacher at my school here in Perth, Western Australia, and I teach music to the other classes in our school on Tuesdays. I took up trumpet because I thought it would be good to have an additional instrument. Your videos are very clear, to the point, and instructional. Thank you, Aaron.
