In this video, I discuss the benefits and the myths of warming up on the leadpipe. The leadpipe serves a good purpose, but it is not a "golden key" to great trumpet playing.
Mr Adam was a wonderful teacher, mentor and I’m thankful everyday for the way he opened my ears! After my third lesson, and through almost every lesson forward 1994-2011 Mr Adam had me play the leadpipe to start every lesson and I extended to high G every time. Great stuff Milo!!!
Bill! Thanks for commenting. That is so cool he did that with you. Man, we sure were lucky to study with him! You sound fantastic, and I can’t wait to hear you again in the future. It certainly is a process - a development - and we are all getting better, little by little, thanks to him!
@@jeremymilos do you rest after the lead pipe routine, or after the long tone routine? How often do you rest?
@@frankwcrespo I studied with John Harbaugh at CWU who studied with Mr.Adam. So a little more removed but I think he would say to rest as much as you play. If you can practice with someone a good way is to trade off playing that way each of you get a chance to rest. If you are alone a good thing to do is to sing before you play. That way you get to verify that you have the pitch in your head and get a chance to rest your chops at the the same time. If you are resting an equal amount of time as you play, you don't really need to rest in between different sets of your routine.
@@FunTrumpet Yes, I rest a lot in between exercises, just enough to recover and get my embouchure back to a neutral state. I try toward achieving a very relaxed response in all registers -colorful, resonant and on the pitch -I'm more interested in achieving accuracy, and a good resonant sound. I think focusing on these aspects of playing make that I don't abuse or overplay my chops -I'm always thinking "I should have some kind of warm down routine" but I probably don't. Thanks for the feed back.
I'm amazed at how much the High G and Double C on tube sounds like you're playing it on the trumpet. Very cool!
Thanks, Matt! It's pretty cool when you can hear the overtones and keep them there. It turns the leadpipe into an instrument. I did let the overtones shift a tiny bit when I played the High G on the trumpet, just before the Double C, but I was able to correct it as I went to the Double C. Also, it was the first 5 minutes of playing for the day, so I'll take it!
Hi Matt! Hi Jeremy!
@@elijahgrajkowski2505 Great to hear from you! Hope all is well!
Ya Jeremy!! 🏆⭐️🥇😎🎺
Thanks, John! Hope you’re well.
One question. When you (Male voice) sing notes do you sing in an octave lower than actual notes on the horn or in the same register (mostly falsetto?)?
Ryo! Hey man, hope you're well. Thanks for the comment/question... I know some people do sing in the octave of the sound you're making. I don't do that, and my teacher, Bill Adam, always had me sing it an octave lower. I'd never be able to sing Charlier #2 in the same octave - even in falsetto voice. Mr. Adam had me sing in my natural octave, with an energized breath. The energy, and energized breath, seemed to be the most important thing for him. Feel free to hit me with any other questions. Hope you're well!
I have so many questions. I do play the lead pipe occasionally. I can honestly say it's been a few months since I've last done that. When I do, I'm looking for my lips to respond with the least amount of effort, and always building awareness of where that action is most relaxed and most resonant. Is lead pipe work part of your daily routine? Do you do it everyday? Would you do it as a warm down? Do you believe in doing a warm down? Thank you!
Hi, Frank! Thanks for your comment. I do play on the leadpipe every day, before playing the trumpet. I usually spend anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes playing the 1st space F and I'm listening for resonance and a relaxed sound, pretty much exactly as you described (I treat it like I'm playing a long tones). Once I hear that, and feel that relaxation, I put the tuning slide in and play long tones. I think playing the leadpipe would work well as a warm down; sometimes I do a warm down if I'm feeling a little beaten up. I don't always do a warm down, but I do believe in doing it - it just depends on how I feel.
As a Flugal Horn player I don't have a lead pipe. What do you suggest?
Hey Wayne. Interesting question. I’ve never done it on my flugelhorns, but I just tried on my Kanstul 1525, and my Flip Oaks. Both are made by Kanstul. The same idea can apply if you take out the tuning slide, put in the mouthpiece, and try it that way. The tuning slides are about four and three-quarter inches on both my horns. My 1525 is a bit shorter. Third line D, or fourth space E flat are the notes that come out most easily, depending on which tuning slide I’m playing. The next partial is about a ninth higher.
If you found a used leadpipe that has been taken off a trumpet, you could get a trumpet mouthpiece, similar to your Flugal mouthpiece, and try that as well.
I like doing this as a way to get my sound free and my air floating. If I only played flugelhorn, I would probably just use my Flügel Mouthpiece on the tuning slide and stick with a D or E flat in the staff.
@@jeremymilos WOW a ninth higher that would be E above high C. That would be incredible if I could get there. I see that note being 6 feet in front of my bell. My flugal is a Yamaha YFH631 with an 11 F2 mouthpiece. My current range is a solid B flat under high C. Thank you for the help.
@@waynewhitmore5872 yeah, on those short tuning slides that come out of the flugal, The series of pitches is different. I recently spent $30 to get an extra B-flat trumpet lead pipe that I could lend to a student. If you were able to get a similar trumpet mouthpiece and an inexpensive used lead pipe, that might be interesting! My teacher, Bill Adam, had a shorter pipe and the regular pipe for us to play on. I could send you a picture if you’re interested! Looks pretty similar to the tuning slide on a flugelhorn.
By the way Wayne, I love that Yamaha 631 flugel!!!
@@waynewhitmore5872 that Yamaha 631 Flugal is amazing. I’ve played a few and they all play great!
