Absolutely wonderful lesson,...   I'm getting back into my Trumpet after 19 years...   polished up, and 9 months deep now. loving it and loving your lesson, thank you

I've been telling my students for years: "It's like making a crescendo without getting louder." It always makes me feel good to hear somebody like Vince DiMartino say pretty much the same thing.

I'm a French Horn player and Vince's lesson applies to producing on the horn precisely as well as trumpet. Thank you Vince for the  detailed explanation I can share with students.

Vince is the GOAT! Always bringing me back to where I need to be. A true legend and inspiration!

Jesus, he sounds better on lead pipe than I do on my trumpet

Wonderful lesson from a legend! Thank you to Vince and the International Trumpet Research Center.

Wonderfully informative lesson! Thank you, Vince! These concepts will be a blessing for my students.

Anyway, I found this helpful.
I want to thank you Vin for a free lesson in a Hong Kong Teacher training institute 20 years ago.  

Here is the summary by Gemini

The Core Concept: "One Complete Blow"

Continuous Airflow: The trumpet should be treated as a single, continuous stream of air rather than a series of disconnected puffs for each note [02:40].

Support & Proportionality: Support must be inversely proportional to the amount of air remaining in your lungs. As you run out of air, your physical support must increase to maintain a consistent "tone line" [03:16].

Crescendo Through the Breath: To keep the air vital, you should feel as though you are constantly crescendoing through your breath [03:25].

The Mechanical Setup (The Woodwind Analogy)

DiMartino uses a clarinet analogy to explain the mechanics of the trumpet [09:22]:

The Reed: Your lips are the "reed." They must maintain a consistent "tensile strength"—the ability to bend/vibrate without breaking—regardless of the register [09:29].

The Facing: Your teeth act as the "facing" of the mouthpiece, providing the stable surface for the "reed" (lips) to work against [13:59].

The Ligature: The mouthpiece pressure (ligature) holds the reed against the facing.

The Goal: The only reason to "tighten" the lips is to resist the air pressure and keep the aperture consistent, not to "muscle" the notes out [11:05].

The Three Pairs of Variables

DiMartino simplifies all music into three pairs of things you can change, all of which must be supported by the same "one blow" [07:11]:

Loud and Soft: Controlled by the volume of air and the size of the aperture [08:11].

Fast and Slow: Speed is simply a matter of "events" (notes) getting closer together. The air stream (the tone line) must remain identical whether playing slow or fast [15:23].

High and Low: Higher notes require more "freely blown compression" and a smaller aperture, not more physical "force" or "grit" [19:17].

Practical Application & Warm-up

The Tone Line: Every exercise should focus on maintaining a consistent "tone line"—the audible quality of the air stream that the audience hears [15:41].

Lead Pipe Practice: DiMartino begins his day by playing just the lead pipe to focus on the air delivery before adding the resistance of the full trumpet [00:56].

Efficiency over Strength: Endurance isn't about muscle strength; it's about "what it costs to move from note to note." If a passage feels "too costly," your mechanics need adjustment [27:11].

The Machine vs. The Instrument: He views the trumpet as a mechanical device that requires consistent "fuel" (air). Only when the mechanics are a habit can you truly treat it as a musical instrument [25:56].

This has been extremely helpful. I’ve found the Bob Ross of trumpet education!

The end thought was masterful for me… the warmup helps put everything together for efficient low cost playing. Endurance is about efficient effort.

Many thoughtful points. Thank you!

I'd like to hear something about playing as we get older, I used to play 3 hour 1st part quintet gigs, not now, I'm 64 and have a hard time with a 2 hour community band rehearsal on 2ed

Wow. So sijmple yet so powerful!!

Always will be fond of my time spent with Vince at Interlochen and playing for him

Vinny!!!!  Great seeing you again after all these years!!! Thanks for the tip about the Sennheiser 441!!! Love that mic!!!!

Thank you, Vince!!! It's always good to hear this...

Really helpful.

Thank you.
Very nice.

Amazing video with info for all level players.  Thanks, Vince!!

Thank you, Maestro!
