The air compression is the key thing but not the only thing but if the air isn’t right, everything else falls off the cliff. Someone once said that brass playing is no harder than deep breathing. I think they were onto something.
When breathing in with a completely relaxed upper body, it is normal for the shoulders to rise as a reaction to the lungs filling up with air. You should not be raising your shoulders using muscles, because that causes unnecessary tension.
The advice here is very much misleading and it shouldn't be distributed and sends people off on the wrong path. Particularly the breathing. If you like me to elaborate on this you can always write to me. Kind regards, Peter
He mentioned the Spike Jones trumpet Player at the end of the recording. It was George Rock.

Spot on.
Everyone wants to learn how to play higher С 3 and I want to learn how to play lower С 2.I suggest you throw the trumpet out the window.
I love how Mike plays, but the shoulder rising thing confused me.

Cant be just about the air 🤨
It's not. They all say the same thing and it is the same standard nonsense.
@BrassBro-Science-ys7sg what should it be then? 👅? 🤨
He claims his lips don't change to play higher. RIGHT......
Well I learned absolutely nothing there...
