Practicing Large Intervals to Open Up The High Register
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лип 2024
- Just a quick video demonstrating how playing intervals, directly from the "easy" middle register into the extreme upper registers, can help trumpeters to avoid playing too tight when ascending. Playing scales allows the player lots of time to over-tighten the lips as they ascend, but large quick intervals can really help the player to achieve a more open sensation in the upper register.

Thanks for your great tips and help, Charlie! I've improved my embouchure and expanded my range by watching your tutorials. You explain things so simply and clearly. You're a great teacher. Today, for the first time, I was able to squeak out a G above high C (and the other notes in between). "Today's squeaks are tomorrow's notes"! Oh, and my new Bach Strad might have had a little to do with inspiring me. Thank you again!

Charlie thank you for sharing your playing, sound, and teaching. Playing a musical instrument helps to lead ones to a more creative, fun, and active life. Nice work!!
thank you SO MUCH for all your videos charlie! you're 100% the goat of trumpet teaching on youtube and for FREE. Really, thank you A LOT
Charlie, you are such a fantastic player AND teacher, thanks for all you do man! This all reminds me of when I first heard that Bach piece you played in the empty subway with such effortless clean smooth intervals in that originally-violin melody! I've since used that for my personal practice and shared it with lots of students, one who's already passing her old teacher by, I'm proud to say! Smoothly connecting registers really IS the key, as I'm embarrassed to reminder the old days when I had two distinct embouchure settings, ouch!
These videos are super helpful Charlie! Please make more
I've tried to learn from other videos, but it seems like I learn the best from your tips! Thank you so much!
Thank you Charlie! Great tip!! Your students are very lucky!!!
Thanks for the insight into the feel, and for the demo dirt and all It really helps to connect to what I really experience attempting to make playing 'easier'.. Reminds me of Mr. Stamps advice, "Stay down going up! "
Thank you Charlie for all your videos. You are such an inspiration for me and your tips are really really helped me play better and easier. Keep up the good work !
Charlie thank you very much ! Most helpful and instructive. Thanks for sharing your talented experience
Charlie Porter you are tha' man!! I really miss taking lessons with you bro! You are an inspiration to many of us out here! Gonna go and hit that exercise up right now! Keep those videos coming man!
Very helpful; thanks. This ties in nicely with the Caruso LSL and SLS intervals I've started working on again.
Amazing like always thank you so much for your help Charlie!
Always amazing listening to you👍I am on my way and you help a lot! Thanks😀
Watching this video is like a lightbulb clicking in my head. Quarantine life has me picking up my trumpet for the first time in 10 years, and I always knew my problem with range stemmed from getting too tight and cutting off the vibration. Nothing I've tried has ever gotten me relaxed enough to start being able to hit those notes consistently until I tried this.
Awesome video charlie. Thank you so much!!
gracias por los concejos !!!!! charlie porter
Great stuff as always, Charlie! See you in two months!
Thanks Charlie. Great video!
This was really informative! Thank you!
Great aproach again with the question "how can I do it more easy"¿ Follow you for the last year and find your Videos along with Adam Rapas the best out there for me.
They helped me as a comeback Player after 30 years to enjoy my trumpet more than ever before. Practising your stuff for 8 months now (about 2 hours effective play over the day with many breaks)
Thank you Charlie Porter 😀👍
Been looking at this for a couple days and this has given me some pretty damn strong corners. Tip for people who are struggling: do it quietly so you don’t overblow!
Thanks so much for your videos!!!
Gratitud maestro bendito sea portadas las enseñanzas que nos brindan
Thank`s Charlie.Iam beginning to understand that it isent graet chops no the oppiste (relax and cordn the notes)I`m very glad for these lessons(sorry the spelling)
thank you very much!
I missed your videos...
Nice lesson. Thanks 😎❤️🎺
Thank you Charlie! For your great channel! From Russia with love!
Great stuff man!
yooooo wtf it's only been like 3 days and this has already helped so much
Excellent thanks maestro
Interesting. I'll definitely give that a try. Previously I've tried to extend my range upwards using chromatic studies but I ran into exactly the problems you described.
so solid!!!
Thanks! Always.
Wow Charlie, i can't believe that i've reached those notes!! just at the first try. wow, really great tip!!
Aniello De Sena no you didn't
Thanks, man. : )
same technique i use although i hardly have any fun material in my gigs to use those high notes
Can you explain how someone would practice going from that low f to double f without hurting their lips? I find it difficult to get many high notes out without squeezing my lips a little.
top man!
great!!
More gold Charlie! Why not establish a "tip-jar" online where we can open an account, log-in and easily add a fiver or so in appreciation for your lessons? Especially when you
add your personal advice. Not exactly like Skype lessons, but maybe a nice alternative?
Hi Charlie,firsting CONGLATULATIONS for all your CLASS,YOU help many people around word,i need your HELP, i do many thinks in the mounthpiece and free bussing,but when i going to play trumpet,i can´t doing same think,what´s the matter
Charlie! I used to play trumpet and I used to play really well, but I haven't touched the trumpet in a long time yet I want to rekindle my passion! I used to overthink everything when playing/practicing so how do you recommend I pick up the trumpet knowing I don't have the chops for it anymore?
Daniel Figueroa Don't overthink and try to sound beautiful. Only think when you need to and in the most simple "nuts and bolts" way, but never stop listening to what's coming out the bell...sounding beautiful is the undeniable teacher we should all be studying with!
Hi Charlie, first i love your videos! I can play those notes as well but i cant get the registers properly connected. around high e i have a break where i have to slightly change my embouchure. do you have same experiences or dont you have such a change? im asking cause im unsure whether its worth practicing that way or not. Greetings
Sounds great!
Wowwww...... Iwant to be like you....
How do you slur longs intervals without playing intermediate slots?
Exelent
hey Charlie, do you ever come to the Atlanta area?
Is that the same trumpet as the great Wynton Marsalis his one? :)
Does this also work for mellophone?
Good tip Charlie I have been playing for over 50 yers. I am a .pro player Your tip makes sense
Ronnie's Lists no you're not
+charlie porter do you think that i need to pactice pedal notes to increase my upper register or i just need to practice flexibility from low notes to high notes?
Josue Abdel both
How much was that trumpet?.
It is to me
But how do I get a faster airflow with the same embouchure for those screaming notes?
I'm confused about this. Faster air held for the same amount of time as slower air, would equal more air. Am I correct? I do not know much about wind speeds and volume, etc. just using my common sense.
By making the aperture smaller for air to pass through
But not squeezing!
High notes have a small aperture and low notes have a wider aperture for air to pass through.
As a result of this low notes actually use more air because the wider aperture allows more air through.
You can check this by taking full breath and playing low G, middle G and high G for as long as possible.
Higher notes can be played for longer as they need less air.
I may be wrong but I think going up an octave needs air twice as fast each octave you go up
Check out this, horn playing in MRI machine.

@@Shazar789 actually, theoretically you don't need to change how small the aperture is. Aperture size is related to the volume of how loud you play. Tongue arch is used to to increase pitch because it accelerates the air in your mouth. What's taught is that you have your teeth at the bottom alligned with your teeth. You make an "ah" sound with your tongue when playing lower notes, then you make an "ee" sound with the tongue when you get higher. Be sure to keep the tip of the tongue on the bottom of the teeth though. Don't get tighter with the lips though because it can be forceful , and can affect your endurance. When playing higher, it can help by rolling in with your lip slightly. Tongue positioning can help you unlock the upper register with practice.
@@JordanScanlon I for myself still don't get that tongue arch for faster air....I always end up tighten my lips
Hey Charlie, I've played trumpet for 6 years and a few weeks ago I've noticed when I play the second octave F it comes out as if I was tired, although I can play every other note fine. Higher and lower. Is there a way to fix that. It's the second octave f before it is over the staff... It's hard to explain. If you understand what I'm saying, is there something I can do to fix this?
Staring Intensifies I have this exact issue and I've been playing almost the same time as you
Advice needed for a novice, I took the trumpet up 3.5 years ago and I am gradually getting better with lessons from Ireland own Shauna Hooke also watching, listening, taking advice with and from Charlie , I am gradually getting better but I have found lately as I am able to practice longer theses days that especially after I try to expand my range to the higher scale I suffer from cracked or split lip inside my mouth and it takes at least 2 days to clear up. Is there something I am doing wrong or is it just part of the journey of becoming a trumpet player. ? Any suggestions or ideas what to do to prevent this are welcome
Joel Kolehmainen Thanks Joel , so it's common to get sore while practicing I'll take your advice on board and try to be aware if I am pressing to hard next session
You should do mouthpiece buzzing holding the mouthpiece in your left hand as your left hand should not be as strong as your right hand. therefore you will not be able to press as hard against your lips and your lips will not press against your teeth. Use as little pressure on the mouthpiece as possible.
Donal Ryan ok sounds like a plan , I think I'm trying to hard and expecting to much I gotta remember our lips where not designed for blowing trumpets but I really love the instrument and hate when I get blisters and can't practice.... Appreciate the advice Cheers
I have seen advice for buzzing lips with only the mouthpiece. "Hold it with the left hand"...."hold it with two fingers to reduce pressure". Here is what I evolved to. I have found buzzing my lips with the mouthpiece has great results to prevent fatigue and other benefits. HOWEVER...I only use my thumb to hold the mouthpiece. I balance the mouthpiece on the "Pad of my thumb"...with my thumb pad facing the sky. This method maximizes minimal pressure on my lips. At first my buzz was very "airy". In time, my lip muscles adapted to create a strong buzz, with almost zero pressure. It is almost impossible to create pressure on the lips. Pressure on the lips restricts the blood flow to the vibration part of out lip. When our lips are fatigued or "shot"...we have pressured the lips so much, it reduces the blood to arrive to our "vibration flesh". This is very useful to students who are wearing braces. When I began this method, I took a giant leap with my endurance and quality of sound.
Please help

ok but what good is it if your tone is leaving much to be desired?
I used to take lessons with Charlie Porter he used to tell me on high notes to back off the air .I would then get the note to squeak ..those notes later on become stronger .But you must play them till they become yours..hope this helps you.
My body is not responding 😂😂😂
