"If you blow this instrument and wait to see what happens, you’re at the mercy of what happens" Great summary of this whole episode, just wonderful stuff.
6:41 this reminds me of a story of Brad Goode, he had a class with Arturo Sandoval, and Arturo told him, 'every morning, go to your trumpet, open the case, point at it and say, "f#@k you trumpet! Today I play you, you don't play me."' hahahaha
This "pre-hearing in detail" is the key to becoming a mature, artistic player on any instrument. It is the link in the mind-body connection that is so mysterious, yet so necessary to freeing the player from technical thinking that needs to be left in the practice room. "Train it and then trust it". Practice guru Burton Kaplan's "Practicing for Artistic Success" has exercises for putting this into action and getting the control freak inside you to step back and let the ear run the show. Thank you James Morrison, what brilliant videos!
The whole hearing before playing. I've never had anyone before explain to me what I've been doing. It's true. It helps immensely. Keeps you true to the sounds you make. 🤗
His description of taking a breath and the exhale, is the best description of breathing for singers.I wish someone had told me this when I started studying!
Everything about listening to the pitch of the note in your head before you play the note I can completely relate to. In my head I know it is from my trumpet in that environment, on that day. This has helped me so much to realise how important it is :)
It is just incredible how much wisdom, how much truth there is (muscolar memory, "interfering", bad consciuos thinking and acting) into that "mystical" approach I once couldn't understand a single word of.
my cello teacher told me that before, did not understand, now I sort of understand, but still not sure if the right sound will come out (in cello string), trumpet might be easier if I mimick the sound I want. I will try. I am now learning the cornet. good job James, thanks for your tutorial.
This guy (James M) has long experience of teaching brass, and teaches with natural enthusiasm. He is sincere and genuine, no artifice - he is talking to YOU, as a great natural speaker and teacher. No B*S*, all from the heart .
Thank you for the upload! No matter what the taste of the viewer might be, this is a quite valuable series of videos. (Morisson excels in his suggestions, too).
True, but then someone plops a piece of sheet music in front of you and then you can sort of figure out a crude approximation of the rhythm, but no idea what the melody is, so then you toot each note to find out what pitch it is and then tie the notes to the rhythm and then slowly you start discovering what that tune is about.
I have to play high G as the first note of a solo in a marching band show. What's worse, I have to do it twice. Im usually consistent during practices and full runs, but so far Ive always missed it at least one time during a competition. Hopefully this stuff will help, as this week is our last competition week and next year I go off to college.
Happily I am long acquainted with and practised in ‘belly breathing’* ie count 6 inhale slowly and calmly for count of 7 hold, & then smoothly exhale using your now lifting / raising diaphragm for a count of eight. I use the same technique before the effort stage of lifting a weight during weights muscle strengthening. I also use it (with engaging the abs ie core) for proprioceptive balance awareness and execution. Also employ it when doing rehab neck exercises especially neck-chin-head retraction-extension. Finally, during those pesky tv 📺 ads, hit mute, then do last exercise incorporating belly breathing O
E bravissimo ma purtroppo non c'è la traduzione in italiano su questo tutorial è un vero peccato perché è veramente bravo sia come esecutore che come insegnante. Spero che qualcuno possa tradurlo.
I know this is a old video. But I am a saxophonist looking to play trumpet. Do you have any tutorials to learn trumpet from not having any experience from playing it?
No, I'm sorry! But it would be better to learn it from someone who already plays the trumpet (preferably an actual teacher), definitely in the beginning to get started.
Sicuramente interessante come gli altri tutorial, ma purtroppo manca la la traduzione in italiano e' eccezionale sia come esecutore che come insegnante Bravissimo, speriamo che qualcuno possa tradurlo.
"Hear the note before you play it... on this instrument, in this room.." that's why I hate brass band contests where the acoustics come as a shock. Very unsettling.

This man is a genius.
He's basically trumpet Jesus.

This is invaluable information for a beginner like me. Thank you!

Guess what you moron, you didn' t really understand that 6 years ago and not even today tbh
This man....
Amazing.

All your tutorial videos are great James - thank you very much.
Awesome! Thank you.
How does he talk with so much ease and fluency? Is he reading or just a great speaker?
He's pre-hearing what his speech will sound like before he talks.
+JohnPKnuckles hahahah made my day !

He is a legend!!
This is almost a spiritual exercise...

Imagine having him as a tutor, would be brilliant!
Yes

This we call, "feeling it real"..and then..the sound, the notes, the phrase..it's all there.
see you on Woodstock 2017 :D
hes just a great speaker

Aural visualisation like the techniques top sprotspeople use. Thanks.
As a horn player for 6 years… let’s just say I think I’ve got the pre-hearing down 😂
Yes We Are. #Classic
Kept waiting to hear him play a note . . .

this the type of teacher that won't let you play your trumpet until you know how to clean it
you talk too much...
atheobe then why tf u here? Get a teacher who doesn’t explain anything then
