#1 Proven Trumpet Course To Quickly Improve High Notes, Power, and Endurance! trumpetsizzle.com
Did you know that I created what has now become the NUMBER 1 Embouchure Improvement Course Of All Time? It's true! Why not fact check it? Kurt Thompson's 16 Week Upper Register Course began in 2009 and has now (2021) been taught to well over 1000 students. Almost half of those students took the course live each week with Kurt and the other half did it on their own with the video tutorials!
FACT CHECK: When trying to determine what is the BEST anything today, look for reviews, but BE CAREFUL: Written reviews can be faked, right? Still, many times we only have written reviews to go on at places like Amazon. REAL VIDEO REVIEWS BY REAL PEOPLE that got the product or became the student is the TRUE WAY to 100% fact check something.
Currently there are tons of video reviews by students from 15 years of age up to 88 years of age that have had tremendous success with Kurt Thompson's Course! CHECK HERE: ua-cam.com/play/PL0PQUYopKD-L2Vj0awGJK9NNY96hVFaTY.html
The other method would be cash sales. NOBODY comes close to matching the record setting sales of the 16 Week Upper Register Course! NADA!
If you find someone who tries to make that claim, check out their student video reviews with the student doing some playing...THEY DON'T EXIST!
CAREFUL: Be leery of trumpet teachers, courses, programs that have a lot of celebrity trumpet players giving an endorsement! Almost ALWAYS that endorsement is paid or because they are friends with the teacher. Think about it: If Wayne Bergeron gave a thumbs up on some teacher's course, did he actually go through the entire course and test it out? YOU KNOW HE DID NOT! His friend showed him the course. He browsed through it. Said: Hmmm ok, looks good! BE LEERY when you see that. Nothing wrong with friends helping each other out, but for YOU the student, you can easily be misled by putting too much weight on these famous trumpet friends.
I am happy to have you try to find a course that competes with the 16 Week Upper Register Course. Don't bother trying to find one that supersedes it. That won't happen. However, if you can find one that has some decent competition, leave a comment. Decent competition does not mean written reviews, celebrity reviews, or even people just talking about it. It means legit music students PLAYING and DEMONSTRATING the success they had while taking the course! You find that? Let us know!
INTERESTED? You should be! Did you know you can take a small sample of the course just to get an idea if it is for you? It is only a sample. Don't expect anything from the sample, but to give you an idea of how the course is. CHECK OUT THE SAMPLE: trumpetsizzle.com/products/sample-week-11-new-revised-upper-register-course-for-all-brass-musicians-2019
Speak italiana, español, portugués? The 16 Week Upper Register Course has been fully translated to Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. Know anyone who would learn better with their native language in the subtitles? trumpetsizzle.com/collections/trumpet-lessons-translated-to-italiana-espanol-portugues
Fact check, Be Skeptical, but in the end, you will come back to the 16 WEEK UPPER REGISTER COURSE for trumpet and all brass musicians as the NUMBER 1 embouchure improvement course on the planet!
Okay Kurt, my 30 day assessment….WOW it works I can attest to that! My range increased, and my endurance is improving.
I do incorporate my warm-up which includes some lip buzzing from Max Schlossberg book no mthpc. And few things from Jimmy Maxwell’s First Trumpeter book. Especially the chromatic tonguing triplet routine and the single- and double-tonguing routine which helps bring everything into focus.
I also would like to mention the success of utilizing the didgeridoo throughout my daily routine. Something is definitely going on with that in good and positive way.
I’m searching for an order to what I do first, second etc. without over doing it. Especially when I have a gig that night or the next day. It’s baffling to me.
Thanks Kurt
Kurt today is Day 29 and yes it works!!!! 🎺 a few months ago I had high blood pressure, it's a whole lot better now! But I couldn't speak and I couldn't play my trumpet, something that I really love to do with my trumpet is worship on Alright God! Kurt God used you to help me play again & a whole lot better! Keep up the good work! God bless you more & more! Manny🎺
Fantastic Manny! Now, it is 4 years later....how good now?
Hey Kurt yes I’m still do it off and on 🎺🎺 Thank You. 🙏🏼
Great advise..... day one today is done.....wow....my lips are tingeling......MAN UP!
hehehehe right on!
HI everybody. I make this exercise since a few months and I can assure that it will work! I'm from Austria and independent! Don't ask, make it and you will get results. I can also highly recommend the rest of Kurts exercises! Merry Xmas to everyone, especially to Kurt
kool! Merry Christmas Stefan!!
An excellent demonstration which I'm now practising on Flugelhorn and on Cornet.
Great...check in a few weeks with a progress update
Haven't played for 30 years after studying trumpet at Volkwankschule Essen. Just started playing some Rick Brown stuff on my Yamaha Fluegelhorn and need to obviously work on endurance and getting hight. Hi Kurt, i will start with your silent C excercise tomorrow and check out the toung arch at the same time. I am gonne spend the best part of 45 min a day practicing of which 20 - 25 min will be spent on your exercises.
Well, you got some time. I have several tutorials for people in your similar situation. Here, have a gander: www.trumpetsizzle.com
it works for me ,thank you Kurt
Great
UPDATE MARCH 2017!!! I now have a consistent Triple g and almost ever day can hit a Triple C at mp to mf...JUST from doing this exercise! Previously? My TRIPLE C was just a tiny little squeak! My Triple G was also a squeak. Now I could actually sprinkle in some Triple G's and Triple C's in some upcoming studio recordings and they will be REAL NOTES...not just squeaks. Summary: THIS TECHNIQUE WORKS! ...DO IT!!! www.trumpetsizzle.com
just tried this for the first time, its a workout and it's tough, will update as i continue working on it over the next 30 days
Please do!
after 2 weeks im def noticing improvements with my endurance and how fast i get burnt out while practicing and performing, haven't noticed too much changes with my range, will update at the end of the month and onward
@@fupura5750 how about now
how the heck have 30 some odd people given you a thumbs down? Haters gonna hate! Great VIDEO! Going to sign my boy up for lessons over the phone! Thanks
Proves at least 30 losers who can't play their horn i guess, right? hehehe
im in day 20.hit c6 comfortably .thank you kurt.
Fantastic!
Thank you, always looking for things to do and to share with my students
Happy to help!
Started my 30 days callenge, 5 mins ago. I am very exciting what will happen!! Regards from Germany. ;-)
It's been a week...how goes it?
First day done and I feel way more powerful!!!
WOW! that's fast!
Im going to try this... And see what happen... Endurance is the main issues in my trumpet playing... Greetings from Lima Perú.
Great...Share your results in a month!
That's a hell of a workout. I'll definitely try it for 30 days and see how it goes.
Go for it!
What happened?
I did it for a month and the results were probably close to what you suggest. However, I also ramped up my practice to include other things, like Colin and Clarke during this time, so it's hard to know for sure what results would have been accomplished adding the whisper g alone. My first trumpet teacher exposed me to super quiet playing years ago, but he suggested playing Clarke 2 studies doing that. The idea was to play them very slowly and as softly as you could get the notes to speak. Either way, it's a valuable tool to increase endurance and give security and better tone quality. Thanks.
glad it helped
greetings, recommend doing the exercise at the end of the routine or at the beginning as part of the warm-up
Definitely at the end of the day or one of the very last things. Never before a performance or important rehearsal
Wow, this was ridiculously helpfull for me. Thanks you sir
Great, then it would be ludicrous for me not to say I am glad I could be of some help!
Gonna try this out at the end of my three 40 minute practice sessions on the last one, let's see if it works
Great let us know!
my muscles are on fire
hehehe
I'm on day 3... I am also practicing an hour prior to the 5 min lip killer....
Excited to see where this takes me....
Great...holler back in 3 more weeks
Dude! Great exercise.
+Fred Coulson II glad you like
gonna start today! getting ready to prepare for my all state solo
You got this!
TRUMPETSIZZLE thanks man it really did help. In Haydn my Eb was much more consistent. However the virus did cancel so last years solo will decide. Fingers crossed!
I'm on Day 2- it's working
kool
Thank you so much!
You're Welcome!
After the 30 days, is it advisable to continue doing the Cat Anderson whisper C?
Imma try it and get back to you next month!
ok...looking forward
Day one lets see! Old trumpet player
You can do it
Christmas day = day one. Wish me good luck :)
You can do it!
Hey Kurt i love your videos, u help me a lot. Why it is important to play this unpretty? Like scratchy, unstable note? Why can not it be focused and straight?
Thank you! ....because if the tone sounds good and clear or pretty, you STILL are not down to the whisper quite level Cat Anderson was wanting his students to achieve.
My day 1. i'm starting. wish me luck
You won't need luck.
THIS WORKS or I would not put it up on my channel!!!
Make a vid for me when you're done and I will put it up on my channel!
I'll go give it a try and come back to comment on its effectiveness
kool
When is it best or most beneficial to do this exercise.? (a) at the beginning of each practice session. (b) middle of session or (c) at the end of each practice session.
at the very end
Hi Kurt, can i continue play something else after this 5 minutes or do i need to stop playing for the day?
Sure play something else
After a long practice session (where I normally do my long tones...), I took the "5-minute challenge." After 2 1/2 minutes my face said, "No more!" For those asking about the pencil exercise: the pencil exercise is a great substitute if you're on an airplane or somewhere where you just can't get to your horn. Otherwise, unless you're paid to play a pencil, get the work done on your horn. It's more exacting and more focused than the pencil exercise. Okay Kurt, you're on. For the next 30 days I'm going to work this into each day's practice. Thanks! I'll post the results next month!
Kool, well keep at it, but little by little. For everyone: A technique by itself, cat anderson, pencil, or others won't get you to the promise land...THE PROCESS will! Just don't be misinformed even by some of my own videos! I do try to remind people that the HOLY GRAIL is available for all who want it, but it doesn't come with one trick or technique!
ok. Kurt ,today is my day 1,wish me luck
+Zdzisław Kaproń you can do it
is it normal the day after i practice my muscles are strained or worked out
depends
Would this exercise work better if you went up a half step each day, then down one on the fourth day and repeat (ex. Day 1 c, day 2 c#, day 3 d, day 4 c#, day 5 d, day 6 d#, and on and on)?
No, you will get worse!
not really. just take my word for it. Also, let us hear you play. send us some links to your recent vids
I suggest you take Kurt's course as too much of anything will get you absolutely nowhere fast. For example if i don't have time to practise 50 techniques or so each day of the week, i find it better to do as many shorter techniques as i can fit in than it is to blow through one Arban grand study. i work within my physiological limits, that is if my body says rest i rest since i am asthmatic and the rest is crucial to a full recovery. I no longer get dizzy or headaches after practising Kurt's course. It is a progression. Lot's of short techniques build power, range and endurance etc.
Very kind Jonathon and yes, too much of a good thing eventually backfires for us brass players!
Which note should I play on my French Horn? Just the highest i can get? Sorry English isn’t my native language
No. For French Horn, a bottom of the staff, bottom line E would be perfect!
Thank you so much for the video... I’m just starting it now. Day 1/30..
Now when the 30 days are completed what happens? Stop doing it? Wait one month then do it the next month? Do it again in a year? Or just stop doing it at all?
That's between you and your trumpet lessons teacher
Kurt Thompson have you ever revisited this for 30 days if so how long did u wait
And would you recommend pedals after?
Can this also be done on the trombone? I really need to build my endurance in preparation for my recital.
Of course
I’m starting with it today on my Trumpet. Ps. Does it work for low brass too? Would be cool if it would work out on my Euphonium too. 😁
It works for any one who buzzes their lips in a brass mouthpiece
Which one is more effective, whisper g for 20 minutes or whisper c for five minutes? And is one easier than the other
They both are effective and each has their place and purpose. If you have a decent range, the C is easier for 5 minutes than the 20 minute g
whats the difference between the whisper C and the whisper G exercise?
The whisper quiet G is 20 mins and the C is only 5 minutes and a perfect fourth higher in pitch
Hey kurt i have questions if you will reply i will be very happy. İm doing this excercise but you uploaded a video about flex loss with isometrics. This excercise will loss our flexibility? Or going worst about non vibrating lips?
I am not understanding your question. Please try again and be more specific. Thanks.
So, playing a middle staff line C but like MEGA quiet for 5 minutes? Is that what the first part of this basically is?
yup
Can you use this exercise for say, 60 days and gain one note on your range, only using middle c? Or will this only work once for the first half step?
Everybody is different, but keep going to find out
www.trumpetsizzle.com/trumpetcourse.html Hey don't quit band just because you got braces or having other troubles. Don't give up or get depressed because I have a brand new course just for beginners and intermediate brass players. Especially for 5th and 6th graders, but equally as important for junior high, middle school and high school band musicians too. At least one thing is on your mind: YOU DON'T WANNA SUCK!!! Check out my new course at my site: www.trumpetsizzle.com/trumpetcourse.html
I've been playing off and on since 1960. Due to putting my teeth through my lower lip I've have very little blood flow and muscle control to my lower lip. I accommodated with a modified tongue compression (unknown to me it just happened when I started playing again). I've had very short endurance since then, maybe 2 straight minutes of playing tops. Do you think this will help me given the situation?
It certainly couldn't hurt to try
Could this exercise damage the tone quality?
+PopLoveIt yes
PopLoveIt this is only one exercise, you can play everything else as pretty as you want to afterwards. Besides, playing quiet never hurt anyone
This exercise becomes isometrical in nature. And as with all isometric exercises you have to be extremely careful not to overdo them. Consequences of overdoing isometrics would include: brittleness in your playing, stiffness in your chops swelling of your lips, no cushion when you go above the staff, air in your tone, poor endurance, and lack of flexibility....beware as LESS IS MORE when it comes to ISOMETRICS!
Hey it's my 20 day doing this excersise. It feels like it's working, but my lips are now feeling a little stiff. How do I fix that?
+Brandon Walker chop it down to 2 mins
is it okay if it sounds very sizzle like there's spit and waver through g and c
yup...par for the course!
So I take it you are playing the c that is the third space correct? I just started playing. Would doing this on the c below the staff work?
This is not something you would want to do if you just started playing.
Why not do hot cross buns and others a lot more instead?
How much times have you revisited this ? And how long if a break was it
i lost count.
Hello . I started today I exercise. It begins or ends playing day ?
near the end
thanks.I"m on Day 5.Аt the end of the exercise I have a bad tone, and the next day is bad. Is it normal ?
Hey kurt after im done with this excercise can i rest for 5 minutes then go on to another excercise ?
I wouldn't . do this at the end of the day
Can this be done twice a day? One session early and one later on in the day ?
i wouldnt
Rest is just as important for muscular training as the actual exercise. Stimulus/recovery/adaptation. Gotta have all 3 for it to work.
Can u explain what you're doing?
Teaching for free
Hey Curt, I sound like you at your 4min plus after my first min . I need to take a breath often . quick question, do you recommend leaving mpc on lips as you take in air . Does it matter ? Thanks .
Well Cat Anderson said it matters, but I say it won't hurt to take it off for a sec and may help avoiding STIFFITIS
Could i also do this with the middle g and would i also get acceptable results?
but of course!
Kurt Thompson thanks for the fast reply :) i will try it
Geprobeerd, nu 3e dag en het werkt.
Great
how is it done? how do I place my lips
ummmm rewatch the vid
is it okay if i just play c quiet for five minutes
depends
Yea dont move ur lips breathe in through your nose !!!
should i do this before i practice or after?
At the VERY end when you are watching youtube, netflix or some movie
can I go on with this for more than 5 minutes?
no
I don't quite get how to do that
Go back and watch if a few more times!
Would this help a bone player as well?
Sure will!
And I would imagine it works with just the mouthpiece ,right?
yup
How to tone like that? Plsss help me. Im a filipino.
Just follow the directions in the tutorial! Also, let me hear you play my new trumpet challenge summer 2018 Danny Boy
Now I start to create a bunch of rare sounds...I think it starts to came out.
Better take this to your private teacher...maybe you need to wait on this one
Kurt will it help low notes also? Sometimes I just get air on the low notes!
hmmmmm not really
whoa. wiped out first time
anxious to get the chops back I had 40 years ago n wonder If will do damage to self if increase time or do more than once a day. I can hold tone longer than you till I Almost black out, which Prolly isn't what I want to do loll so sometimes I have to restt a little and breathe between long tones, but not yet as soft as you, so I may be doing it wrong. I dug out my old Arbans I beat up as a kid but it still scares the crap out of me some since the stroke, so saving till my fingers and chops work again some more as I don't want to discourage myself too much on this journey before i really get into it ;) lol
You need to go here because remember that old adage: A novice who teaches himself has a fool for a student!
www.trumpetsizzle.com/comebackplayer.html
you have an affilate program? i'm just a destitute old crip that wants his chops back, a stroke victim with nothing-nuthin but a buskar in a wheelie chair, but i like you and i been a trumpeter for 50 years be happy to help promote you if i only knew how, think ur awesome! thanks
Hang on Kurt ... the original adage is that "a lawyer who acts for himself has a fool for a client". I should know ...I was a lawyer (in Australia) for about 40 years - quite some years ago now. A dreadful trade!!! Now, if I take your comeback course and then your upper register course, to keep the upper register going, how much practise specifically on range do you have to do to keep it?? I would want to have F above the stave a keeper. Great videos you have.
man this wore me out - esp my corners - whew
hehe
What note should a trombonist play? Thank you.
4th line F or possibly Bb on top of the staff if you have strong chops!
Thank you
I have a doubt I found the book of cat Anderson and in the first lesson says 20 min of G, rest, and then 20 min of C, is it good to practice it like that? 20 minutes each or only 5?
I highly recommend you do not work out of that book my friend
Ha ha ha it’s hard for me, I can’t make that sound...! I trying push air from my diafragme and nothing, then with my chicks and nothing yet...
hmmm
fine Kurt,but where and how did you find uot obout it ?
I am self taught when it comes to range. I would like to watch you play something. Send us a link to your recent playing vids
Is it bad that I can’t make it sound bad?
Yes!
I'll be back in 30 days and tell you how it goes, tried it today... face did not enjoy it
hehehe alright...check back in when you can
Hard practice is not supposed sound pretty 😂🎺🎶🎺
It's not?
Well I guess it does!.🎺🎶🎺
well that actually may end up being both. the player might sound prettier with greater tone near the front of their practice but after 3 4 or 5 hours that may sound like crap
Hi Kurt my name is Alex Gonzalez I live in lumberton North Carolina and I would like to chat with you through text maybe on Facebook? my name is Alex Gonzalez on there and I have my hair up in my profile pic. If not then I will add you, I plan on working my career with playing the trumpet and have some concerns about my style of playing some of which involves rolling in the lip.
kool
why the heck does it HAVE to sound ugly?
You don't whant to blow your brains out to just make it sound pretty for 5mins you might past out.
not sure
yup
Kurt Thompson I mean I could still play it more decently while playing it quietly
I actually know the answer to this one. To play high, you need a small aperture. Here you're playing the smallest aperture you can; it barely makes a sound. This allows your body to develop the little muscles that can hold that aperture in position. Eventually you'll develop the strength with those muscles to put a lot of air through that tiny aperture. Now what I really need to do is short cut this whole process. There are 1000 techniques out there that work for 1000 people. The short cut is to find someone that knows which of those will work for me. If Kurt knows how to teach all the major embouchure methods then he could quickly tell which is likely to work for me. After that it's all hard work. But you can work just as hard going in the wrong direction and never get anywhere. I'm too old to waste time doing the wrong thing.
