Hey Jon, very useful and helpful videos - loving them. Could you possibly make a video or talk about some of the things/concepts that you learn’t from your time studying with Rolf Smedvig? Thanks so much.
Interesting video, hadn’t heard it talked about as a triangle before and was pretty sceptical - then I went to practice and it worked really well visualising it like that, better tone, intonation and the notes really jumped out of the horn. Can’t wait for part 2!
Where is the second part? This was a great presentation. Thanks. Btw, what if you tend to play flat (and lifeless) naturally and the slide is already further in?
John, surely the trumpet will go sharper if you play it a lot. The trumpet gets warmer and that effects pitch. The shorter the trumpet the more temperature effects the pitch. If you don’t play it it goes cold which lowers the pitch. I was surprised that you didn’t talk about that. Loving you videos by the way.
Hi Mark and thanks for watching! I do agree, but took it for granted that people would have already understood that. 😃 This being said, our concert hall is quite cold and I can get through a 90 minute Mahler symphony without moving my slide with the exception of mute changes. Thanks again! 🙏
@@dantespeakdigital modern concert halls of course are normally air conditioned but humidity is present in most other situations. Are you still playing in the far East? I'm an old friend of Hans Petter Stangnes and live in Norway. He talked about you a lot when he spent time out there. All good!! 😎
Great stuff, and you communicate it perfectly. Thank you
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
brilliant! thank you for sharing this information.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is fantastic information! Thank you, sir!

Hi Ben!! I'm thrilled to hear this!! I will try and get part 2 up soon! Thanks for watching!

Hi and thanks for watching! I have had to have horns cut down before. But more recently I will just shift to a smaller mouthpiece which always works.

I can live with sharp. Flat is unacceptable. "I'd rather be 2¢ sharp than out of tune".
Precisely.
Tell that to violin players in a classic orchestra 🤣
The truth is often we go more than 2 cents sharp.
But did you practice with a milkshake straw, Jon?
🤣
I've heard of this idea before, but you explained it in the easiest way possible. Now, I think I can give it a try. Thank you :)
Thanks for watching!
