Mister . you change my life i was at one point thinking to leave the trumpet because could not go forward anymore , i was also the one one my band that everybody will make fun of me for not be able to sound Lauder or play higher notes but your videos save me , THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH.
Hey Jluis, that's fantastic to hear. You really need to come and try the free WindWorks trial, you'll love it. mysterytomastery.com/windworks-sign-up Cheers, Greg
hello, thank you for these videos. These videos have been the last pieces of the puzzle for me. My professor play in this exact way and although I he and I are trombone players, I believe that the approach is the same. All of the methods books and exercises and buzzing... just never made sense. Musicians talk about free buzzing and sound and all of this an yet they have SO much tension that it is completely contradicting to everything that is written, even by famous players. "Don't think about it, just do it," was something that always killed me for I am a very literal person and I need to know how things work, specially if I am going to do this for the rest of my life as well as passing down the knowledge that I have gained to others. Thank you so much for helping me better understand the concepts that were missing (such as the "aaauuuu, the use of less air and where the resonance of the note really comes form)! I hope to one day meet you and have a lesson personally.
@jonathanoropeza Thanks for these words and yes, I totally understand where you are coming from. Have you seen www.mysterytomastery.com/windworks-sign-up It is in Bass Clef for Troms and there is HEAPS of new material. All the best, Greg
@leninalvarado :-) Haha, you are too kind. There is a heap more in my new course, you'll dig it. www.mysterytomastery.com/windworks-sign-up Cheers, Greg
Greg, all of your sound advice worked beautifully for me back in September and this was all true. However, ever since a bad 2 week period of marching band performances, none of this works and my sound hasn't been the same at all. How long does it take to overcome an overplaying injury? I have 9 weeks in the summer to go as slow as I need to.
Hi Matthew, I am sorry to hear about your injury and YES, marching band can be really destructive. I can't really comment on the time period without knowing more information Have you seen this www.mysterytomastery.com/windworks-sign-up It is super cool and will get you back on track. Cheers, Greg
@ammarnehlawi Thanks Ammar, I appreciate that. If you are interested in my latest work, that I totally love, check this out. www.mysterytomastery.com/windworks-sign-up All the best, Greg
Yes I have been doing this and it really work and make sense and it really change everything but I can’t play above eb above high C any suggestion I have followed the course any suggestions?? Thank you
Hi Greg. Hope you are well. When we start on low notes will that not make it more difficult to play higher? Som advocates starting no lower than middle g or middle c. Mr. Van Cleave does. Jeff Smiley does. (Even higher) Do you have any thoughts on that? (I started low and have never been able to play what I wanted, but thats probaly a lot of other issues too) Take care. Erik Denmark
Hey Erik, starting higher requires added exertion than the beginner is not ready for and sets a terrible psychology for advancement. Please make sure you work through the FREE Largo Status Stage of the WindWorks course at the MTM site. It is explained really clearly there. Cheers, Greg www.mysterytomastery.com/windworks-sign-up
It was just a generic track provided with the software :-) Have you done the WindWorks Free Trial yet? You'll love it!!! Cheers, Greg www.mysterytomastery.com/windworks-sign-up
Greg do you hum the note for every note. so when you play a c in the stave you hum a Bb in the stave. A low G below the Stave so you hum a low F. etc thanks Gary
@buildashoe Hi Gary, I don't get too caught up on the pitch to be honest, it is more about the feeling. I talk heaps about it in the new Singing C Series in the WindWorks Course. Cheers, Greg www.mysterytomastery.com/windworks-sign-up
You have very good natural teaching skills! You should quit that rock band you're in and go back to college. J/K Yeah, I'm one of them older players you mentioned. I majored (unsuccessfully) in trumpet back in the 70's, yet was not aware of the physics & resonance involved in tone production and I thank you for finally bringing it to my attention! (OK, convince me NOT to start doing isometric exercises to build facial muscles! I can see you either built yours up or were born that way...?)
@boboala1 Very amusing! You can develop the required musculature by smart playing practices without falling into the psychological trap of "it's all about strength!!!" PLEASE Do the free Largo Status Stage of the WindWorks course. It will all makes sense! Cheers, Greg
But it doesn't look like you're keeping that ooooo when you play those notes. Looks more closed, maybe play the note and take the trumpet/mouthpiece away from your lips to give a better idea. It just looks more like an mmmmm instead of ooooo
Hey Russell, you are indeed correct. I talk a lot more about this in the WindWorks course. The aaahoooh is the starting place. It is for drawing attention to the "aperture corners" and to discover the sensation of freedom. We start low and as we ascend we change SHAPE without compromising the feeling of freedom developed at the aaahoooh stage. It's really simple to do but rather complex to explain. Go to www.mysterytomastery.com/windworks-sign-up and get started for free. You'll love it. Cheers, Greg
@russellstraight It's all about the feeling of freedom and making a great sound as easily as possible. I have a new series called the Singing C Series where I talk abut this heaps. Please try out the FREE Largo Status Stage of WindWorks. It's a FREE 3 hour course that you can do over a week (or lifetime if you already have my book) but will really get you sorted. All the best, Greg www.mysterytomastery.com/windworks-sign-up
Best lesson I’ve had so far this is great !!
@pauldance Thanks! You should check out the WindWorks Course then, you'll love it. www.mysterytomastery.com/windworks-sign-up
