Hi Jason,
I'm quite late to the party in your channel, but wanted to thank you for publishing all these videos.
I specially liked this one.
I always was more than good enough on my high notes but now I'm playing lead in a big band and I gotta play many high G/A... first time I find myself thinking about how to increase my range.
My intuition tells me you are onto something with this exercise.
Me being an engineer, and gearing you have a prototype for a Air Speed Aperture Trainer of sorts... any chance you'll finally be taking on this project?
I will likely release the ASAT within the next year. We have so many new product releases planned already which are prioritized by feedback from our clients

Thanks Jason.. I'm so inspired by your story... having to have to learn all over again. I'm picking up my horn again now that I'm retired. I stopped playing back in my 20's. I continue to watch your Momentum series.. Thanks very much. Phill
Thanks Jason. I like how you demonstrate the embouchure hole getting smaller for high notes and larger for low notes rather than focusing on buzzing lips. The change in that hole size plus the same constant release of air automatically creates air speed without having to grunt and groan away with excess effort to produce the end result. Really appreciate you sharing these concepts with the world after all that you have been through. It's always so easy in life to do nothing. Congratulations on pushing ahead positively beyond adversity.
You're very welcome Brian. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more Trumpet Momentum videos.
I cannot express my appriciation of these videos enough!!
I've seen hundreds of videos with the upper register, but these Momentum videos are by far the best. They're so simple, yet soo effective.
I wasn't able to play the high C without getting a red face! I couldn't even manage a high B. But now thanks to you.. I'm playing high D's!
Now after a week of practise, I'm hitting high D's, and holding them! Still working on the E's though ;)
You've given me a boost in confidence, aswell as pointing me in the direction of playing. I can finally focus on practising intonation and precision instead of just trying to get the notes.
Thank you so much!
What a great response! Thank you and please watch for our future Momentum series being launched in the coming months. -JH
@@harrelsontrumpets I sure will!
I watched this video when it was first released and applying this information over a year later suddenly made a positive change in my playing tonight. Thank you for all of the educational-type content you've posted over the years and happy late Thanksgiving!
Matthew Rodriguez you're welcome
Thank You very much ! Clearly understandable and v e r y helpful - of high value for me - as it is for example your video titled "mouthpiece pressure" ...
Love the videos, thanks, I'm 66 years old, I played trumpet when I was a kid, been playing guitar for over 50 years. I just bought a trumpet, and starting over on it, and ya, I can't hit high notes yet. So I hope this will help, thank you very much!
Have fun on your new journey!
"A vibrating surface". I've been imagining my embouchure like this for years, well, decades now; and it's nice to hear the term used so credibly on your educational videos.
Thank you, I've been teaching these concepts since 1999 👍
This answers lots of questions!
Great! Do you have more questions that I can address in the next video?
Harrelson Trumpets Absolutely! Maybe you could discuss about tonguing!
Harrelson Trumpets Also, I would be very interested in your opinion about how to improve brilliance and projection, or dynamic variety and intonation!
Hi Jason, I was able to watch the first 2 videos in this series. It's good stuff. I like the concepts.
Thanks Bruce. I hope you're enjoying your new VPS Summit!
Love the way you think! Very informative!
Great video
You are explaining Hermetic principles, this is cool brother.
Someone just HAD to press thumbs down...hilarious!
Finally! Thanks a lot!
You have inspire me to study science.
I think this exercise could be doing with a coffe small plastic straw because the paper get wet. Thank you for share your experience and investigation.
yes, that is how we used to do this exercise before we started using wax paper and 3d printed tubes with the ASAT system!
Hi professor.when i work the high range the muscles under the nose go forward and the air enter in that area.(kind of internal air leaks) that changes my embochure when i´m playing stuff with large intervals.how can i avoid that issue (specially the stacatto in high notes)? i hope you can help me.thanks....
Hi Jason. You say you measured the air speed with an anemometer. Can we see the results of your experiment and a description of the equipment you used? Where in the system did you measure the flow velocity while playing? Through the aperture or somewhere else? Did you change the loudness of tone on a constant pitch? Was the airspeed through the aperture constant for a change in loudness? Did you have sufficient equipment to measure the changing flow velocity during the vibrational cycle? Or were you simply measuring the average flow velocity at some point?
Still awaiting your reply. Its been a month.
@@darryljones9208 Hi, I do receive 50+ messages every day so please be patient with my response time. If you have a question related to a product or service, then call us directly at Harrelson Trumpets. Yes, we did change the loudness on the same pitch. And we changed the pitch at the same decibel level. We measure as close to the aperture as possible and compare that to results at fixed distances after the aperture. Air flow measurement is achieved by capturing the air and measuring the volume vs. time. Are you working with experimenting on your own? If so, I would appreciate learning about your work and findings!
Thanks for these very insightful videos! I really like the paper exercise. However, the paper often gets moist and sticky, preventing it from getting blown out. Do you have any advice in that regard?
Don't get it wet! ;)
Thanks for the reply! But even when I dry my lips first, it often tends to stick. Maybe I am using the wrong kind of paper? Should it be rather thick or thin paper?
Have you tried wax paper? I am developing a system that solves this problem. Watch my Facebook page for info coming this summer.
No, but will try it! Thanks a lot :)
@@harrelsontrumpets Hi Jason, did you post this system yet? I was unable to find it on your Facebook page. Thanks in advance.
Hi Jason. You play with no effort, but how do we keep the same sound when changing the embouchure that much?
Tell your findings to Lynn Nicholson who says in his video that faster air makes the tone louder not higher. And the confusion is on........
Interesting. I've heard this many times from the LN crowd. Science is science, look it up :)
Look it up where? I am an engineer and a trumpet player. I have studied everything I can. I have not seen ONE scholarly or scientific analysis which makes claims that you make. show me one study where the airspeed through the aperture was measured and correlated to pitch and sound volume. You can't because it's a myth perpetuated by players and teachers who have barely any understanding of the underlying science of air dynamics. Not to mention acoustics and physics in general.
@@darryljones9208 You believe that air speed, air pressure and air flow do not change with pitch and audible volume? Please state your hypothesis so we can have a conversation. I'm happy to share how and why these conclusions were reached. I'm curious to know who is teaching that air speed (not air flow) correlates to pitch? I have not met any other teachers promoting this view point. I am surprised at the number of teachers touting that air speed is the same as air flow.
@@harrelsontrumpets yes there is confused conversation among players due to undefined or misunderstood terms. The term "air speed" is often erroneously equated to air pressure and sometimes air flow. Just as the term "air volume" is misused when referring to air flow. Another misused term is "compression". Some conflate compression with resistance but these are not the same thing.
@@darryljones9208 I don't understand why you say that air speed doesn't change pitch, or I misunderstand you? The pitch depends on how fast or slow it vibrates a vibrating surface, the herz are the amount of vibrations so 440hz means that a vibrating surface has a velocity that produce 440 vibrations if you measure it in one second, in trumpet the vibrating surface are the lips so the lips vibrate when air pass it through, so the lips are gonna vibrate fast or slow depending on how fast or slow the air pass through. Or it doesn't? That doesn't mean that the only thing that will gonna change pitch is air velocity (the size of the aperture and the tongue level also will but the effect that it has to do this its the same, faster vibrations). I'm not a physicist so, I might be wrong.
If you close the aperture as a way to reach high notes, you are eventually going to hit a 'ceiling' that you can't pass - this will happen when your lips get so close together that the air can no longer pass through (when, effectively, your mouth is shut)
Very true and this is often around triple high C
