Trumpet Teaching Videos

I have 4 completely different Video courses.

The 1st is a fine tuning of YOUR current embouchure. It is in 5 parts also available as 1 package.
(The parts are 15 dollars each.)

The 2nd is a complete embouchure change to a Lip Curl embouchure ie Stevens.

The 3rd is a video lesson on keeping the gig and what the audience expects from a player.

The 4th is a video course on Improv and how to make it easier.

My 5 part fine tuning course features Andrea Tofanelli, Keith Wood, Rex Merriweather, Keith Fiala and Greg Kuehn.

This Multi-Media work is the best trumpet course I have ever seen. I started this project 6 years before I finished it. (A few of the clips are from 2004 and the latest clips are from 2010) I kept changing things to make the ideas easier to learn.

These clips are from REAL lessons.
You hear and see the playing problem
and I walk them through a new technique and then you hear and see the new result.

The clips in the multimedia book have NOT been edited so you see what works, when and how it works.

It covers topics like:
Relaxing
Tension
Tongue arch
Breath Support
Lip Buzzing
Mouthpiece Buzzing
Pressure
Sound Models
Resonance
Flexibility
Range
Accuracy
Endurance
And others.

There is something in this Video Ebook for everyone at every playing level.

Part 1 Is about HOW our problems started, breaking habits, Using a didgeridoo or tuba mouthpiece to relax and find your facial set, learning to get around on the trumpet relaxed.
Part 1

Part 2 is about mastering tongue arch and tonguing. Learning to drive the trumpet with air focus from the tongue and NOT facial muscles.
Part 2

Part 3 is about lip setpoint (making the high and low range connect) and breath support for every register.
Part 3

Part 4 is about lip buzzing to correct open embouchures, mouthpiece buzzing for accuracy, improving resonance and the aperture tunnel.
Part 4

Part 5 is about practice, pencil exercise, mouthpiece pressure, sound models, and mental problems concerning range (how to tear down your brick wall).
Part 5

The complete series also has some of the music exercises used in the series, some out takes where we play doubles and triples and the series flows nicely as a means to correct embouchure or playing issues.
Complete Series

Link to buy the complete series in 1 part is below the videos.

There is also a separate course (NOT part of this series) on a complete embouchure change to a lip curl embouchure

(ie the Stevens Embouchure).

It shows how to set curl
How much is too much
How to master using curl
Learning to set and use compression
How to connect the Low, Middle and High Registers.

Lip Curl Embouchure

The other course is about gigs. Mainly about how we need to remember this is a business and that we need to sell what they WANT to buy and not hope that they buy what we want to sell.

Keep their Ass in the seats.

The other course is all about Improv. It explains a much easier way than is taught in school and tells you the difference between real life and school.

No Nonsense Improv

Because it is downloaded and because not everyone has broadband; I made the videos low resolution. Here are some examples of them. These have been shortened.

It is all about working both hard and smart.

Singing as a sound model and to open up the sound.

Stomach kick to help high notes come out.

Using mouthpiece buzzing to clean up the sound.

There is a LOT more of this but here is a short example of this clip working on the 2nd Brandenburg.
