Sir, one of the reasons I stopped playing the trumpet years ago (besides a lack of talent) was struggling with the inability to develop an upper register. Having recently pulled the Bach out of moth balls, your advice is being employed. We shall see.

Can you help me I can barely crack a high c. It seems the only way to play higher for me is to use more pressure and blow harder.

Appreciate your content! I’m an amateur player playing in musicals sometimes for a little stipend, often volunteer. One trouble I have is rehearsing on my own. A lot of times we don’t have rehearsal tracks or anything that matches our music. Or we won’t have the entre act or bows to listen to. Any tips on preparing for those numbers? Tia!

Hi there, I'm really loving your videos and especially the insight in to the teaching of Bill Adam. I think I get that readiness to kick a ball or swing a bat engages your "chi" or "center". But this is my question....Is the same thing accomplished when using the "Astra Air Stream Trainer"? Does the "Air stream trainer " accomplish the same thing that you describe, but after using the "Astra Air stream trainer" you only have to "think/ visualise" the ball being lifted in its wooden cage in order to engage the "chi"? Is this the same line of thought from the Arnold Jacobs school with using the Inspiron to focus on getting the ball in the chamber floating/moving up (keeping the air moving through the bellows action of the lungs) rather than focusing on the muscles that are used to get the air moving?

I like this exercise. Never tried this one!

Can u write down the notes. Lovely exercise.

Hey Jeremy, it's Morgenroth. I love the "rest as much as you played." We will use that in our warmups.

I've been really struggling for high notes and stamina. I have played this exercise religiously for ONE week and it has already made a massive difference. I haven't even changed key. I haven't even slurred! Just repeated the C Major version over and over for between 30-45 minutes each day. I'm genuinely amazed at the difference that its made, not only to my security on high notes and stamina but also tone.

What's the deal with high notes on the trumpet? Unless they are done absolutely beautifully (which is super-rare), they sounds like mosquitoes on meth. Truly bad. I don't know why players even bother. They should stick to notes that sound good.

great vid. i’ll be trying this out! any tips on tone?

Very well done Jeremy, and wow, that’s some super important information there!

Awesome job Ruby!!! (Way to go Dad!)

Thanks for taking your time to demonstrate your technique regarding upper register playing. At 75 I think that I am happy playing with my local band and doing the best I can with the little skills that I have. Again I applaude you for reaching out to trumpet players to help them achieve greater abilities,

Thank you Jerry. Thank you for what you are doing here on your channel. Im 77 and started with cornet when I was 12 and played it for 3 years, but stopped because my embouchure did not devellop in a good way. Bad sound in the low register, cracking tones and poor attacks now and then. Nevertheless I could play up to high A above high C. Offcourse I studied long tones, slurring notes, intervals, staccato and all these things from the books. Later I v picked up the trumpet again, did all those exercises to train the embouchure, but no progress, but I played 10 years in a big orchesterI on the second chair. Then I stopped again, because of shoulderproblems. I v been with great trumpeters and teachers, but none of them can really tell me what I do wrong. They observe me, listen to me and they actionally can,t tell me what to do. Everything looks good, but I dont sound good sometimes. There are days that a part of my register sounds reasonable for a short time. I start on a G on the second line of the staff and play softly, whispering notes untill it sounds good and full as it should be. Then slowly higher and lower. But I also have "bad embouchure days", then ......well everybody knows about that. Maybe somebody wants to comment on this. I really would appreciate this. Thanks in advance

Thanks Jeremy that was a good lesson. I tried it. I just need to get beyond the High C now

I use a Dennis Wick 3C 16.75mm Cup is shallow. Still can not get highnotes past F above the pentagram. Would trying a 4C 16.50 be good?

Hi Jeremy Please send me the PDF of the Harry Glantz exercise you just demonstrated. As always you sound fantastic! Mid to high always full resonant sound I dream of having some day. Thank you again for your great short lesson videos. Larry Peltz PS Thailand is hot as always but moving into rainy season which helps to keep temps down.😂

I once had an Adam student mention that a double buzz was an indication that the body was approaching being in phase with the horn, and to best thing to do is to hear the sound out front more intensely. Did Charley or Mr. Adam indicate something similar to you?

Jeremy. Your daughter sounds great !!! Clear sound and terrific range. This makes me feel good.

Thank you!

Hi Jeremy, Great to see and hear you on this UA-cam video short. First, I'm in awe how you totally crush those Schlossberg studies, #s 97, 99, & 100. You are truly a Master. One thing, I searched my Bill Adam Tribute book for those Schlossberg studies, I couldn't find them. Can you tell me what pages they are in? I do like to use the Early, and Later Long Tones Routine as my warm ups. They're great. I hope you and your family are all doing well. Enjoying the beautiful spring season!

Would you say that you could do the Cichowicz flow studies for the same purpose and in a similar method?

Thank you, Jeremy, for new and fresh information. Your sound in all registers is as good or better than all players I've ever heard. Amazing!! At 82 years old and still love practicing and playing this the trumpet, I congratulate you. You're doing it right. I have to consider doing a Zoom lesson with you, when I can muster up the courage, best wishes, Mike.

Can anybody play a double C? Well, if you can really play trumpet in every other sense besides big range, and you’re in pretty good shape physically, you’ve got a good shot. Even Miles later in his career, standing wrong, horn pointing down-and he still played much higher than when he was younger, even if there weren’t any double C’s. He really wanted more range.

Energy. Nobody ever had a better upper register sound than Maynard, and he didn’t pinch his chops or arch his tongue. Compression’s great if you just want to hit the notes and don’t care about a big sound.

I totally agree! 🎺👍

The other plunger will play in tune if you make a hole in it like the Rampton mute has. Clark Terry showed our trumpet section to do that along with a nickel in the hole to adjust for different timbres/intonation. I believe this is what the master of the plunger Snooky Young also did. But I would still choose the Rampton plunger over any other, the sound is great. Kenny has what looks like a pin and a penny in the hole to adjust the sound like a valve. Cool vid! Thanks Jeremy!! Always great videos.

Hi Jeremy, As Always thank you for your helpful tips and suggestions. I do a warm up including long tones and flexibility slurs, the 7 fingering sequence. But all this takes upwards of 50 minutes. Is that too much? And yes, I feel tired at the end. Also, what numbers of the Schlossberg are you playing? Thank you again for your great UA-cam short videos! Sincerely Larry Peltz

If I could play those notes I wouldn't be watching this video....

Beautiful

Very helpful- “singing” mindset.

Jeremy, What power and attack! Forever envious of you guys that hit that high stuff and master it. I am listening more to big band music and man did those backup trumpet players have power and range and effortless musicality-taken for granted by many listeners. Still in my infancy of trumpet playing now hitting 3 octaves of C.

So cool to see you playing in Phillips Hall!

Beautiful sound but your apartment must be really live......also, what microphone do you use for your home videos?

Bravo just beautiful

You have that BANG at the start of each note. You can tell you’ve studied the Doc version from Trumpet Spectacular. Bravo!

Please do the same one with you playing skills now. Would be very inspiring!

As I am progressing as a new player of 6 months or less, I now have an ear for the “commercial sound backup at high register “ I never thought about before. I appreciate the skill it takes to do that.

Awesome sound. When I was in HS, my private teacher (an Adam student) lent me some UWEC cds. Blew me away. Stay fired up!

This is lovely - thank you

I care less about my ability to play high than my ability to sound like that. That's the lesson you should be giving.

back in the '70's & '80's, Doc was at his peak-I got to hear him LIVE a few times-fantastic player to say the least. Unlike Maynard, Doc wasn't a "natural", he was like the rest of us "mortals" i.e., he had to work for it and develop it. He was obsessed with the Trumpet and equipment. In truth, I often only watched the Tonight Show for Doc & The band...miss those days...

So clean & wonderful sounding!

Exercises such as those are great - but FIRST it is necessary to learn how to play them slowly, to learn HOW to play the desired pitch. 'Muscle memory' is what needs to be obtained - through training and practice. Be able to 'hear' or 'imagine' the note's pitch and IMMEDIATELY have the 'trained reflex' of fingering, embouchure, air, etc.

In addition to the words and description - WATCH the physical actions during playing (eyebrows too) starting at 2:40 .

Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your professional studies with us.

Incredible!

Awsome👏🎼🎶🎵🎺

I doubt Ruby knows how incredibly blessed she is to have a father / trumpet teacher as she has. I'm a 75 years old working on being a 'come back player' who suffered my first trumpet lessons with my father, who was incredibly impatient with me as a ten year old boy. I dreaded going down to our basement practice room with my dad as he tried to teach me how to count by pounding my leg, and being angry with me. I did want to please him, and in my youth struggled with all kinds of issues, anger and anxiety with the horn, though I loved the sound of a beautiful trumpet. I could never have an open free sound and had zero upper register range I so desperately wanted. I so wish I'd had a teacher like you Jeremy. But here I am, 75, and haven't given up on the dream to one day play with beautiful expressive sound and range to play high C, maybe even E, but perhaps that might be asking too much. Thank you for your inspirational UA-cam videos. You're a brilliant player and teacher. Sincerely, Larry Peltz

Wow she sounds great👏🎺
