Explaining Superchops Series E03 - Lower Lip Over Top Teeth and Teaching Embouchure

- Thanks for checking back in for part three of my series on the Superchops material.
In this video I talk about the idea of the bottom lip moving up over the top teeth and also I discuss the topic of what teaching embouchure is about.
I just watched the first three videos back and I'm thinking some important points were missed... Part 4 is already recorded but I'll be sure to remember to tie up the loose ends in the up-coming videos.

I just checked and I play with lower lip over top teeth. It seems a natural positon to me.
Hi Rich,. where can I get the information to start learning TCE? I have all of Callets books except trumpet secrets. I have been working with Callets books but I understand that TCE is an updated version of Superchops? Im just starting over on trumpet. need some counsel, and do you offer lessons?
I can offer online lessons if you like, and/or exchange some videos over WhatsApp (or similar app).
I could also send you a copy of my ebook, which is intended for guiding TCE beginners into practicing TCE.
Send me an email from the website linked above.
Hi Rich
I heard your speek this morning walking the dog.
The best line for me: you have to develop low and middle register first.
I was also tought that by my first teacher and have always struggeld with notes above the staff. But that was conventional playing; blow harder to ascend.
Now I know what I need to do!
Thanks.
Take care.

I like the idea of what the student should be focusing on in terms of initiating change rather than focused on as an outcome. I find that students tend to get things backwards in this regard and cause themselves a lot of suffering
Bottom lip over top teeth is not supposed to be that far IMO. I think It was intended to be barely above top teeth edges.
Yeah I get the impression that Jerry struggled with people trying to do it too much when it was little more than an observation. I heard that it’s one of the reasons he wanted to move on from the Superchops material.
When looking at the notated exercises in Superchops and the other Callet books, which would you particularly recommend practicing, and how would you approach them? I have been working from your 2 TCE books only so far (and finding them very clearly explained, BTW).
Thank you for the compliments on my books!
I’ve used quite a few of the exercises from the older books over the years. Often they’re coupled with an intention that if overlooked can leave them a little pointless. I’ll do a list and make a video about it.
Nice intro!
Thanks! Gradually improving things as we go along!! 😅
Hello! I am considering purchasing a mouthpiece for myself and I wanted to see if I could get some input.
I currently play trumpet in my school’s Wind Ensemble and Marching Band. I currently own a faxx 3C and 7C. I believe they are essentially off brand Bachs but are basically the same (they we’re recommended by a judge at a band festival/solo and ensemble). I also own a Jet Tone (Severinsen model).
My 3C and Jet Tone are amazing for high notes/marching band and the 7C is great all around whether it be in marching band or day band (in school). I really want a deep mouthpeice for a nice dark tone.
I’m torn between a Bach 1 or a Bach 5V. Are either of those a good idea? I just want to make sure that getting a very deep mouthpiece is a good idea. I know hitting high notes and flexibility will be a little more difficult but I think it’s worth it.
I don’t need a definite “get X mouthpiece” but just what you think of buying a very deep mouthpiece. Thank you!
I don’t think you should be too concerned about getting something huge at this stage. IMO it won’t help you develop - you’d be better off working on playing in pitch center with standard equipment. The 3C, for example.
I talk quite a bit about mouthpieces in general in the video I posted a couple weeks back about VennCAD and I also show you where to find a bunch of articles that I’ve written on the subject (they’re all on trumpetpla.net). There are a few in which I discuss the various reasons that people give for choice of equipment.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that a big mouthpiece is the best way to get a good sound - there’s more to it than that and the trade-offs would cost you more in terms of opportunity than you might realise.
@@BrassPractice Thank you! I’ll just stick with my current mouthpieces for now!
