In this video, you'll learn a simple technique to help eliminate tension from your trumpet playing. Using this technique, your upper register, high notes, and embouchure, will feel more relaxed. You'll also be able to maintain resonance in your sound and articulate in the upper register more easily.
Thanks!

Thank you, Jeremy, for new and fresh information. Your sound in all registers is as good or better than all players I've ever heard. Amazing!! At 82 years old and still love practicing and playing this the trumpet, I congratulate you. You're doing it right. I have to consider doing a Zoom lesson with you, when I can muster up the courage, best wishes, Mike.
Thanks for taking your time to demonstrate your technique regarding upper register playing. At 75 I think that I am happy playing with my local band and doing the best I can with the little skills that I have. Again I applaude you for reaching out to trumpet players to help them achieve greater abilities,
Hey there, thanks for the nice comment! And I applaud you for continuing to do what you love! I have many people in my community that are your age, and these techniques are greatly helping them play with less effort in and out of the upper register. Give them a try and please let me know if they benefit you in any way. Best regards, Jeremy…
Sounds fantastic - love the concept
Thanks, Tim! I appreciate the feedback.
Great stuff, Jeremy!
Thanks, Brandon!
Fabulous, as always
Thanks, brother!
Very well done Jeremy, and wow, that’s some super important information there!
You nailed it!!!!
Hey, thank you for the nice comment!
Fantastic info! Eager to see more content!
Kyle! As you know, that video of “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” was for you, based on the question you asked me many months ago!
Cool stuff Jeremy! Thanks!
Thanks, Larry!
Thank you!
You bet, thanks for checking it out!
Sounds great Jeremy!

Incredible!
Thanks, Barry! The videos get better over the course of time!
Excellent demonstration and lesson. Thank you so much for your honesty.
Hi Frank! Thanks for the kind words. It means a lot. I have another upper register vid I’ll post by Monday and I’d love to hear your thoughts about it. Thanks!
Thanks Jeremy. Will subscribe!
Thanks, George! How's everything? Hope you're doing well and playing lots of gigs again!
Great advice here - beautiful sound you have Jeremy!
Thanks, Matt! Another one coming soon :)
Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your professional studies with us.
Thanks for the kind words, Ruari!
Hello…and a heartfull thank you for sharing those great info…can’t wait to get more…
Thanks for the nice comment, Siegfried! I appreciate it!
Thank you Jerry. Thank you for what you are doing here on your channel.
Im 77 and started with cornet when I was 12 and played it for 3 years, but stopped because my embouchure did not devellop in a good way.
Bad sound in the low register, cracking tones and poor attacks now and then. Nevertheless I could play up to high A above high C.
Offcourse I studied long tones, slurring notes, intervals, staccato and all these things from the books.
Later I v picked up the trumpet again, did all those exercises to train the embouchure, but no progress, but I played 10 years in a big orchesterI on the second chair.
Then I stopped again, because of shoulderproblems.
I v been with great trumpeters and teachers, but none of them can really tell me what I do wrong.
They observe me, listen to me and they actionally can,t tell me what to do.
Everything looks good, but I dont sound good sometimes.
There are days that a part of my register sounds reasonable for a short time. I start on a G on the second line of the staff and play softly, whispering notes untill it sounds good and full as it should be.
Then slowly higher and lower. But I also have "bad embouchure days", then ......well everybody knows about that.
Maybe somebody wants to comment on this. I really would appreciate this.
Thanks in advance
Hi Willem! I know it can be frustrating, but what I learned from William Adam helped me to overcome embouchure problems, and it will help anyone willing to try a new approach. The good news is that you can actually get better as you get older - Mr. Adam told me that in my very first lesson with him back in 1993, and he was 75 years old at the time...
I put together a Free on-demand masterclass that addresses how to do exactly that. It's about an hour long and very thorough. You can take a look here:

If you enter your email address, you'll receive the link to view it Free, and you can even book a Free trumpet chat with me to talk further. Sound OK?
Feel free to comment with any other questions!
Well Jeremy thank you for your kind and quick answer. I really appreciate that. In a few days I 'll go on Holliday and once I m back I like to have contact with you again. It's really frustrating when you see girls and boys from 10 years old playing Carnival the Venice almost perfectly. Children with a full big professional tone as if it a normal easy thing everybody can do.
Anyway Jeremy... thank you for your kind reply.
@@willemoosterom2438 yes definitely reach out, and feel free to schedule a Trumpet Chat after you register to see the free video. I was able to get my daughter playing with a really beautiful tone. She started at age 9, and using these simple techniques, sounds wonderful. If it can work for a nine-year-old and 10-year-old, it can definitely work for you, and she’s playing daily for about 15 or 20 minutes!

Thanks again Jeremy for your friendly and quick reply. When I'm back I 'll contact you.

Nice to discover another trumpet master 🎺✨ oh man your demonstration was effortless, your head wasn't exploding and neck looked normal 😃💯
Thanks for the nice comment!
Wow thanks for the advice! After the breathing exercises and paying attention to my air flow, I've made a lot of improvement to my sound quality.
That’s great! Very happy for you! I have another video I’ll post in a day or two. I’d love to hear your feedback on that, as well! Thank you!
Very helpful- “singing” mindset.
Thanks! It is a great way to eliminate most problems…
Honestly I don't think I've ever heard such a lyrical tone in the upper register as you have with Jesu. Really impressive. It seems like most players turn that range into a "look at me" laser. Thank you for taking the time to teach on this platform.
Thanks for the nice compliment, Ben! I love listening to Maurice Andre and Doc Severinsen; they are both extremely lyrical in the upper register. I think they are both amazing models to try to imitate! Feel free to click on that link in my description, and I have a longer recording you can download free if you’re interested!
I saw A Chorus Line at the Shubert Theatre in July, 1980.
That is a fun show to play! Not an easy show, either, with all the unison parts in the first number.
Thanks for this! Can you do a video on how to learn to play vibrato?
Hey, Eddie! That’s a great idea! I was recently asked that by someone else, too. I’ll try to get to it soon. Thank you!
Spot on with the air demonstration. For so many years I tried the wedge breath and it created so many problems because of over tightening in the abs which cause tension/restriction in the throat.
That’s interesting. I don’t know much about the wedge breath. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to listen! I have another one I’ll post in a day or two. Love to hear your feedback, if you don’t mind. Thanks!
@@jeremymilos Can’t wait to see it. In the wedge breath explanation, Bobby Shew talks about pinning your stomach to your spine and firming your abs as if you’re about to take a punch. That wrecked me.
Yeah, sometimes that physical approach can be counterproductive! If you're interested, feel free to check out this PDF I just created. I'll be adding the link in the description soon. highnotes.jeremymilos.com/
@@MarkMorganTrumpet The wedge breath technique has been a revelation to me. There seems to be no connection between abs and throat for me. The thing is, though, Bobby Shew learned the "wedge" technique from Maynard Farguson who learned it from yogis in India with whom he studied seriously. It's not just "abs" it's a specific chakra it's weird but it works.
@@alexcarter8807 No doubt it has been beneficial to some. I studied with Bobby for about a year and followed his guidance on it, but in the end, it caused more problems than solutions. Speaking with Jim Manley, he had the same experience.

Thanks, Eli!
Heard you \in Newsies! Amazing job.
Hey there! Thanks so much! I really enjoyed playing Newsies. I wish it were still running! Great show.
@@jeremymilos Hey Jeremy, You did an "unforgettable" performance (not "JOB!"). Do you do zoom lessons?
@@tooter1able hey there, thanks again! Yes, I do Zoom lessons - it’s been a bit busy with the show and lessons for the kiddos in the show, but happy to try to work something out!
Jeremy are you a user of the James Stamp Method? Thanks for the great videos!
Hey! Thanks for the kind words. I never used the James Stamp method and never really did his exercises, but I’m sure there’s great value in them. My teacher, Bill Adam, never had me do them, but we did a lot of other fundamentals, including concerti and études. I think a few of Mr. Adam’s students do some Stamp exercises, though!
I think it would be interesting to hear trumpet from the pit compared to what the audience hears.
Hi Reid! I have done that in my video entitled Upper Register and Follow Through. Feel free to take a listen here

Hey Bill!! Hope you’re well!
What are the background charts in this video? (sounds like Jerry hey horns)
Hi, Johnny - you have good ears! Yes, and the song is "Imagination," one of my favorites, as are the JH horns! Jerry studied with Bill Adam at Indiana - I'm so glad I had that opportunity, as well!
@@jeremymilosthanks! will go listen to the whole thing now, I have a feeling this Bill Adam guy is on to something 😂
@@johnnylow3295 He was an amazing teacher! Sadly, he passed away back in 2013.
@@jeremymilos That is so sad to hear, I was thinking about studying with him as well. I can't seem to find "imagination by JH horns at least not on the youtube at least, any idea where I can listen to it?
Hey Johnny! Try Imagination Al Jarreau. That should bring it up! The good news is that many of Mr. Adam’s students teach his concepts very effectively!
Damn…
Thanks for taking a listen!
I wish I could play that high, but no matter how many videos I watch and try to learn, I can barely even hit a high C. Very frustrating
Hi! I totally hear you because I’ve been there myself. I watched a little of your Mount Wolverine video (great work on that!) and I would equate the upper register to climbing a mountain. You’ll get there eventually, if you keep at it. Sometimes you need a guide, and I think Charley Davis is a fantastic trumpet teacher. Some videos might contradict each other which can lead to a lot of confusion. The approach I use, and the approach Charley teaches, tries to eliminate that confusion! I have another upper register mindset video I’m going to post within a week. Look for it and that might help a little, hopefully! Good luck!
So much better than that hack K Thompson
Thanks, Russell! I haven't seen Kurt's recent vids. We all have something to offer and I appreciate you taking the time to check out my video - another one on the way soon... Hope you're well!
What's the deal with high notes on the trumpet? Unless they are done absolutely beautifully (which is super-rare), they sounds like mosquitoes on meth. Truly bad. I don't know why players even bother. They should stick to notes that sound good.
