Sir, one of the reasons I stopped playing the trumpet years ago (besides a lack of talent) was struggling with the inability to develop an upper register. Having recently pulled the Bach out of moth balls, your advice is being employed. We shall see.
@@rickthornhill4133 that’s great. Please take a look in the section beneath the video where you can watch my MasterClass free. There’s a bunch of boloney out there about focusing solely on your embouchure. Forget that bad advice. It’s never going to help you. And those people aren’t doing anything in the “real world of music.” Well, at least I never see them around, which tells me everything I need to know.
Your sound is as pure as it gets!!! You're such a great teacher as well as an incredible trumpet player!! Thank you for all you do to get these videos out to the trumpet world! 🎺 🎼🎶🎵
As I am progressing as a new player of 6 months or less, I now have an ear for the “commercial sound backup at high register “ I never thought about before. I appreciate the skill it takes to do that.
@@jeremymilos ua-cam.com/video/B-8kLo0CQPk/v-deo.html Jeremy, I am sorry I am a neophyte and don’t know the correct music vocabulary. This is an example where the horn section accompaniment is in a higher range than the solo. At that 8 measure rest. The horns are muted but have that bright sharp swing band sound. I too love your sound. I just keep dreaming “ Maybe one day I will have that sound!”
@@paulmullins4676 Ah, now I get it. “Backing up” the soloist. By the way, that goes, sounds really fluid, and really nice. Even when I’m playing in the upper register, I’m trying to think of that type of lyricism. If you’ve ever listened to doc, Severinsen, you’ll know what I mean! Happy to recommend something if you like, just let me know!
I've been really struggling for high notes and stamina. I have played this exercise religiously for ONE week and it has already made a massive difference. I haven't even changed key. I haven't even slurred! Just repeated the C Major version over and over for between 30-45 minutes each day. I'm genuinely amazed at the difference that its made, not only to my security on high notes and stamina but also tone.
Hey Jeremy! Great question. Yeah, I think some of those flow studies can be done in the same manner. The basic idea was to play with a beautiful, full sound, from the first note, to the top note (which you hold out long), and back to the starting note, without letting up on the energy as you descend. Schlossberg #95 was written that way, so I believe that's why Mr. Adam used that one...
@Jeremy Miloszewicz awesome! Thanks! So by "hold out long" do you mean hold until you have just enough air to make it back to the bottom with a good sound?
@@jeremyrhoads6899 yep, that’s right. But most importantly, don’t play on negative air (or what my teacher would call the “grunt muscle”). If you start running out of air, take a breath when you need to. It’s a way to start building long line endurance.
Hey, thanks for the idea 😊 I like to think of using hot air for every note that I play. It tends to help the sound “float,” be relaxed, and then the range is just an added benefit.

Hey Jeremy, it's Morgenroth. I love the "rest as much as you played." We will use that in our warmups.
Hey Paul! Cool! Thanks for checking out the video. I hope to hop on a zoom chat with you all sometime soon.
Your tone is so sweet. Gives me something to shoot for.
Oh man, that’s really nice of you - thanks!

Dave! Somehow I missed this comment. Thanks so much! Hope you’re doing great.

Hi Paul! Hope you are well. I’m not 100% sure exactly what you mean by “sound back up.” would you mind clarifying for me? Thanks!

great vid. i’ll be trying this out! any tips on tone?
Yeah, just try to “float” the sound. Don’t force!

Hey Richard, that’s really cool to hear how you’ve benefited from it so quickly. Bravo!
Thanks Jeremy that was a good lesson. I tried it. I just need to get beyond the High C now
Hi! As you continue to be able to hold the top notes out, you’ll find your range will start increasing as well 😊👍
Nice sound! Nice flow !
Hey there! Thank you!
Great to hear you, Jeremy! I’m gonna go do some Schlossberg before heading out for my gig.
Go get ‘em, Tom!
Would you say that you could do the Cichowicz flow studies for the same purpose and in a similar method?

@@jeremymilos thanks for the tips! Really appreciate it!
@@jeremyrhoads6899 you bet!
Great sound man
Thanks, my friend!
beautifull! nice! thanks!
Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks you very much .
Hi Antonio! You’re very welcome.
Can u write down the notes. Lovely exercise.
I care less about my ability to play high than my ability to sound like that. That's the lesson you should be giving.
