Goldmine of information. Thanks Wayne and thanks for posting. I watch James Morrison’s DVD and go to my trumpet thinking yesss! And it’s the same old same old and incredibly frustrating. Watching Wayne is better for me because he shows how much experimentation is required for a mortal like me but also gives pointers for paths to follow.
This episode is life-affirming and generous. It is a heart-warming example of a music industry icon who can step down from his olympic perch and share his wisdom and experience with aspiring students as well as professionals and educators. I was touched by Wayne recounting how he dealt with isolation during the pandemic and how he reconfigured his thought processes to deal with cancer.
Wow. Amazing! I got a chance to play in community band with Wayne as guest artist a few times. What an incredible experience. Wayne is such a great guy. So glad he is doing well after the cancer.
Check out 38:45 re aperture control - this is the secret sauce of brass playing that 99% of players don’t understand, even if they are actually doing it intuitively!
Thousands of trumpet players must have watched this and, like me, just had to blow their horn after watching. But we suck (as Wayne might say) because most of us forgot to click the Like button!
Who cares what others think? Case in point: I use a shallow mouthpiece on flugelhorn. People tell me I'm an idiot. I don't care. I do what works for me. I don't need their approval or agreement. They're insecure and can't tolerate someone who breaks from the herd.
@@josephhoward8236 Thesis was about the two front teeth and how it affects range. Not sure if his thesis is findable as he died before we all got computers and started using email and the internet. Bob was a dental student but also my trumpet teacher. Thesis goes that basically when one ascends in range the buzzing surface of the top lip starts rising on it's own. When the bottom edge of the top lip gets even with the bottom edge of the top two front teeth that's where you lose your note/sound. Everybody has this,etc. People with a gap between their teeth or a large break in one of the top front teeth have an advantage because they have more lip surface to play on. So even if the lip rises to the bottom edge of the two front teeth, there's an open hole(whether a gap between the teeth or a broken tooth) thus again you have more lip surface to play on than others who don't have this. Look at players like Jon Faddis or Snooky Young, albeit Snookie's front teeth are like in an arch,etc.
My front left tooth is turned just slightly putting my high point right in the outside edge of that tooth. My mouthpiece just gravitated there and now I know why I play off to the left a bit. Maybe not as useful as a gap in the middle but I get by :)
Taking the 3rd valve slide out to hit the high g makes the second valve useless as no air goes passed the 3rd slide opening. So, fingering 2 and 3 is a waste of middle finger muscles.
If air went first through 3rd valve and then 2nd yes it would be. But Air goes to 2 and then 3rd slide. So it's not a waste of middle finger muscles. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Bergeron does not need to be " interviewed" he just rolls...and we do not need to see the "Interviewer" and his verbal grunts and affirmations..just sayin.

Class Class Act! Wayne is one of the best musicians and most delightful people I know. Glad the world has him

Wayne, that story about not setting the pace and working with students in their range really hit home. Thank you for taking the digression!!
I agree with him that Bobby Shew is the greatest brass guy of our time!! Legend of a teacher
A week or two back I watched Yamahas master class with Wayne . Education 101. Been thinking it Over every since. Now this ! Thanks Wayne.

The tribute album to Maynard Ferguson is just amazing. You can't tell that it wasn't the man himself. If not better.
What study was Wayne referencing at around 7:10 of the video?

Bob Valle's dental thesis on the front teeth is definitely true.
What is this thesis? Where can it be found?

@@Dizzyphan it’s settled, I’m ripping both of my front teeth out.
That explains why Bugs Bunny couldn’t play above the staff.
