I play pedals straight down the scale to G below double pedal C....I always end a practice session going down to double pedal C to relax my chops...Yes, pedal C to A below pedal C are fuzzy, then G on down to double pedal C and below are big and bold...like your lip bending comments--great for part of my warm-up routine...Oh, and as I mentioned a while back, we both play the same horn--I love it!!
@@ChrisDavisTrumpet No, I bought it here in San Antonio at the Texas Music Educators Assn. (TMEA) convention. Edwards was a vendor...stopped by their booth to ask about repairs for my 20+ yr old Edwards...showed me their new X-13...played one scale and was hooked!! As for good taste, you obviously know a good thing when you see/play it!!
Thanks Chris, this is a great clip and will definitely help me with air support, control and even help my aperture. Currently, I have a challenge with free buzzing without mpc.
Try the pencil technique. Put a pencil in your aperture and try to keep the end up as long as possible. This will strengthen your corners like nothing else
Thanks Kris! Man, I'm a huge fan of your channel. Everything you put out is A1. We have mutual friends and I look forward to working with you in the future.
You sound great and your explanation and demonstration are clear, but Chris... why Pedal Tones? Why? Does playing and practicing out Pedal Tones serve as an aid or technique to teach us something or improve or illiminate some aspect of our trumpet playing?
Yes it does. In short, it keeps you balanced. It keeps the face relaxed and helps to improve endurance, and these things collectively can help improve range on both ends. It’s not the only way but it is a way.
I'm a junior in high school and I'm having so much trouble with hitting the g above staff and higher. I have really thick lips and i don't know what to do anymore to reach those high notes. I've been playing for 7 years and I sound airy and I can't hit the high g. I really need help with my embouchure with thick lips. I want to do a DCI but I'm unconfident with my playing because I can't hit those notes. i don't know if it's a me problem or equipment. i am thinking of quitting the trumpet but i really love trumpet and want to do dci and college with trumpet. im not a bad player but its just im very airy with higher notes and cant hit the g but other than that i can play fast and good music just not high notes with my thick lips.
If u guys are wondering why he has a hair tie on his trumpet it is because the third valve slide as a screw so it doesn't slide off and he probably lost it or something like that so he put a hair tie so it won't fall while he is playing

Which option is your favorite and why? Is it Option 1, 2, 3, or 4? Let me know in here in the comment section.
All of them! They are all a little different & give you a wide range (pardon the pun) of embouchure exercise.
@@JVFBryant yes! and that is the goal. It's great to be able to attack a challenge from various angles. conquer it!
Kindly give me the notes for option 2 arpeggios
Thanks!

Stay with it. You need a trumpet teacher. If you can't find someone to help you locally then I will help you.
