Hi Ms. Aragon: this is just what I needed. I am an old man who started learning when I was 16. Studied on and off until I was 30, and it's been almost 40 years since I touched my trumpet. I now have 3 grandchildren who are all musical and I am determine to learn it before I leave this world, hoping to play with them. These wonderful warmup exercises you've created may help me get there. Your tone is so amazing. I don't know if I could ever make such a wonderful tone as yours.' Brava! and Thank you.
Ozier Muhammad thank you!! I love that you want to play with your grandkids, that’s so cool. I’m glad the warmup helped you. To get a more rounded trumpet routine I highly suggest you give the online trumpet lesson program a shot. Check it out at trumpetheadquarters.com and best of luck on your journey!
Señorita Aragón; thank you for so much I am 30 years old, I used to play trumpet when I was 12 but I stop playing after a left hand amputation, however I recently started to play again and I find your videos very helpful! Great work and God bless you 🙏🏼 please never stop teaching others, you are a blessing
Is there a way to put more likes on this video? It's amazing!!! I wished had a lesson like this when I started trumpet 33 years ago. I played for 3 years and because of luck of a good teacher I quit and now after 30 years I'm starting from zero again. Thank you so much Estela!! The world needs more people like you!!! I definitely will check your online lessons.
Hi Paul, how great that you want to pick it up again! I welcome you to check out trumpetheadquarters.com. Most of my students there are comeback players too. Good luck!
@@TrumpetHeadquarters I was pretty good in my day. I sold my old Mt Vernon Bach to a band directer in my old school district. I wanted it to be used . So I bought a 700S Getzen. Great quality horn. It was a spotless demo . I couldn’t pass it up. Thank you for your videos love
thanks a lot for your videos. I'm a Nigerian who learnt music and trumpet through church and i've been catching up quite well. Thanks again and God bless you
Just found Trumpetheadquarters on UA-cam tonight! You are a fantastic teacher. I totally appreciate how clearly and thoroughly you demonstrate and explain the details!!!

Hi, I'm Brazilian. After watching many video classes, your teaching provided more practical and reliable guidance on how to learn to play the trumpet more easily. Do your classes have a translation or translator for my native language?
Great video teaching but can you please put the score(music sheet) on the screen while you play through the exercises so that we all can do it with you. Thank you much
Thank you Estella. I watched your video about proper embouchure which helped me a lot to eliminate confusion regarding that. My question is how are you buzzing the two higher notes in each sequence so effortlessly. I've been trying and I can hit the first note but the two higher notes I have to blow quite hard to hit them. And it's not effortless as the way you're doing it.
Thanks for watching this lesson. If you can buzz the first tone well, focus on that make it the best buzz you can make. I have been playing for over 20 years, and that’s why it’s effortless. Fundamentals are the KEY to success, do them daily and slowly and soon you will develop the muscle strength needs to execute some exercises. Just keep going forward, focus on tone, fundamentals and stay relaxed. Best of luck!!
Can you make a video about alternate fingerings and memorizing them? I have a hard time playing certain pieces just because I move between notes awkwardly when playing fast speeds. I love your videos and how well you explain certain topics.
Hi Carlos, thanks for watching the video. I HIGHLY advice against using alternate fingerings to play regular music. Alternate fingerings are primarily used in flexibility and other warm-up exercises to make it more challenging and develop better accuracy. Other method books also add alt. fingerings to increase difficulty. However, these valve combinations are often out of tune and should not be used as a shortcut for developing dexterity. It sounds like you simply need to spend some quality time developing your dexterity and coordination. Check out my video on dexterity for some tips. Good luck!
Dear Estela, I'm Larry, a new member. I saw online you have a new Warm up routine, but I cannot access or download it. The THQ site does not recognise me as a member. Can you please help and send me the new Warm up Routine. Thank You, Larry
Hi Larry, please send me an email at trumpetheadquarters@gmail.com with your full name and the email you registered to the course with so I can track down your membership. Thank you.
Hi, Ms Aragon, Thank you for sharing your trumpet warmup video. Very good presentation to follow. I just started learning to play a year ago. By the way, could you please share with me your trumpet make/name. Thank you.
Michael .Yee glad you enjoyed it Michael. I play on a Yamaha Xeno 8335 with reverse lead pipe and I’m also a @deniswickproducts ua-cam.com/users/DenisWickProducts and play on their American Class mouthpiece size 3C.
Hi Ms. Aragon why is it i can get buzzing sound , only when i have it in the trumpet i can buzz i can go up and down the scale with no problem but i can.' buzz , if i can don't do buzzing i will not be good trumpet player , even though i can read the music sheet and play , i am having difficult hitting my higher notes above the scale frustrating thank you
I just found your videos and really like the way you teach. Thirty years ago I was a great player. Just started playing again a few weeks ago. I am struggling with keeping a buzz on low notes like c, d, and e and tend to just blow air. I do not have this issue with higher notes. I’m not too sure what’s going on. I don’t want to develop any bad habits. Do you have any thoughts or recommendations?
Technically I am not a beginner. I just haven't played my horn since age 25 and that was over 42 years ago. I picked it up last week and ouch. But, I want to start playing it again. I was thinking I should go all the way back to square one. I recall playing A Trumpeter's Lullaby in eight grade. I went to U.T.E.P. back in my 20's and played a variety of music such as The Southern Cross, Haydn Trumpet Concerto, Bugler's Holiday, I also played in the marching, concert and jazz band. I also played, for a short time, with a Mariachi group. My sound is good for a short period of time, then it becomes raspy. I guess I need to take this in baby steps. :-)
To be honest with you, I really never warmed up when I played until I got older and then I warmed up my body as that is the machine to power your instrument. The upper register came real easy for me and it is very comfortable to play there
Hi! What's best on a Bb trumpet? To play a written C and have a tuner setup transposed to show C or to show Bb - the sounded note? I think either Bb so when singing a Bb you don't sing a C by mistake or conversely setup to show C so that you associate the feel of the note played with C so you can pick up any alternatively pitched trumpet and play their 'C'. Does that make sense?? What's the common wisdom? Thanks! :-)
Hi Steve. Honestly...I've never even thought about it, but since you bring it up I'd say it depends on your level of theory understanding. All beginner and intermediate students should set it to show the note they are playing to avoid confusion. More advanced students familiar with transposition and the concept of concert pitch can (but don't have to) set it to show the pitch that's sounding. As long as it's clear to you I don't see why it should matter or interfere with transposing in everyday life.
Greetings, Thank you for the information. Quick question about the long tone exercise. Do you keep the mouthpiece/trumpet all the time while doing the long tone exercise or do you take it off the lips for each note? Again, Thank you!
Jose Armando Pecina I take it off after each long tone most of the time, which is what I would recommend for beginner and intermediate players. Advanced players may choose not to take it off to make it an endurance exercise as well. Thanks for watching the video and take care!
Hi Ms, I am a Indian trumpeter, we don't the technique, when I touch the upper note the note will be cracked, We gave high pressure. I have been playing trumpet last 8 years, pls help me?
Clone trooper Order 66 thank you! I recommended you check out my beginner course on trumpetheadquarters.com. Hopefully it will help until you get a teacher!

Cruiser007 hi there, thank you for watching. I play on a Dennis Wick MM3C. It's a different mouthpiece than what the video shows. At the time I played on a Curry 3C. I don't see a need to be switching mouthpieces left and right so I like to stick to a 3C, an all around mouthpiece for all types of work.
I totally agree with this. I play on a Bach 3C (Elkhart version) and use it for virtually everything from big band lead playing to small group jazz and function band work. I've been playing since I was 11 and am now 60. There are exceptions but generally speaking the mouthpiece changing game is a road to nowhere (and an expensive one), the answer to problems generally lies within.
Walker Fitzgerald thank for watching the video Walker, feel free to modify this warmup to your needs by adding more resting when needed. While resting as much as you play is a fundamental learning technique to strengthen the muscles, resting a little less (half as much as you play) is also good for developing endurance.

I don't see a need to be switching mouthpieces left and right so I like to stick to a 3C, an all around mouthpiece for all types of work.
I totally agree with this. I play on a Bach 3C (Elkhart version) and use it for virtually everything from big band lead playing to small group jazz and function band work. I've been playing since I was 11 and am now 60. There are exceptions but generally speaking the mouthpiece changing game is a road to nowhere (and an expensive one), the answer to problems generally lies within.
