After coming back to the trumpet after 35 years, I knew I needed instruction on embouchure and correct placement of the mouthpiece, and endurance, issues that finally led to my dropping out of college music study. Thanks Paul.
I really like your tips. They are really usefull for me. I did this exercise for 15 mins and already had results. Never reached that low note before. Thank you.
Paul, thank you! I have always struggled with reducing the excess tension in my playing, and this exercise really helped a LOT. I'm absolutely blown away by how much this exercise did to help free up a lot of that excess tension, and help me learn what it's like to play a lot more effortlessly. Bravo!
Your tutorials are so easy to follow and understand,. I have so much tension in my face since having a 25 year gap in playing! This drop and land technique is brilliant, and feels so effortless. Thank you so much.
I’ve found all of the TP videos great. The tips go against conventional wisdom, or give a new take on techniques, and are excellent. I hope there will be more videos soon. I’ve learnt a lot and thought about playing in a much different way.
Thank you for posting this excellent video on pedal notes. I have read several posts on this topic but your video takes it to a new level of understanding on how to develop this helpful technique. There is nothing else like it anywhere! Thank you for all of your time spent producing your outstanding lessons on playing this brass instrument. Nathan... Brooklyn, New York
I've been using your drop and land as part of my warm up since seeing it on your other channel. It really works and it's a great quick 'lip reviver' during practise too. Transferring the sensations to other areas of my playing is the hard part...it's made me realise how much I need to work on my air pressure. More 2 pence pieces needed!
wonderful videos; new to to the trumpet @65, no expectations of Skyfall, but listening and learning in Western Canada. Thanks for sharing these best practices.
