If you want to find out what is wrong with your embouchure I suggest you setup a consultation with me at www.trumpetheadquarters.com/private-trumpet-lessons/. I can identify the problem and provide an action plan customized to your needs!
Coming from tuba, the “roll-in” part was immensely helpful!
Haha yes coming from tuba you would definitely a decent roll-in!
I was also looking for help switching from tuba to trumpet for jazz band
This advice really helped me, i was struggling to find any information about my problem. This is gold
Bass Treble so glad it helped you!!!
I was playing in the red and now I find that my range has completely reset, is this normal
Xx_blank_x X anytime you make a change to your embouchure you are going to use muscles you haven’t used before. They will be weak. So yes, it’s normal to lose range and other skills. All changes should be done under the observation of a trumpet teacher.
That's my problem too and even when I place the mouthpiece correctly, my top lip goes a bit forward and over my bottom lip.
You absolute legend! 5 Embouchure tutorials later and I'm finally hitting clean high notes, thanks a bunch! :D
farmer blaire amazing!! That’s so great to hear! I hope you will find much more help at www.trumpetheadquarters.com 🎺👌
You're simply an excellent instructor. I've taken two lessons now and they were good but yours makes more sense and are more straight forward and structured. Thank you so much 🙂👍
Best teacher ever. I learned this and have been playing so high and clear. The method is consistent. Effective teaching, not books on theory, etc... This video should be in every trumpet book and given to every new trumpet student.
Aww thank you! Just trying to spread the good trumpet word 😂
Thanks a bunch!!! I have music comp in two days and now my sound is way rounder! You've earnt a New subscriber
I like how you ended the video with Strike Up the Band in the background, and my playing has already improved, thanks for the tips :)
You're spot on about rolling the lips in. I always told my students to play on "the hard parts" of their lips and to try not to let the air push out the "mushy" parts. (I taught beginners through advanced players for 35 years so I had to dumb it down a bit for the 9 year olds.) Keep up the good work!
hightpt thank you for watching!!
YOU SAVED MY LIFE for years high notes have been the biggest struggle
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! For about 7 frustrating months now I just didn’t understand what to do with my embochure. when I got to the high notes and they would be too fuzzy. This video is such a treasure to me and I can’t thank you enough.
Awesome!!!
Haven't played since graduating high school in 1959 (first chair in the band and the "charge" guy at football games) I finally picked up my horn and couldn't' make it work unril I watched this video. A little shaky but in 10 minutes I'm playing the scale! Need a little more work but it still makes the sound. Thanks for your help!
Awesome!! I hope it’s will going well!
I DID GREAT IN THD BAND BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!
Caleb Boyd yay!! So happy for you!
This has changed so much thank you!
It really is amazing the knowledge and precision you exhibit in your lessons! There is so much conflicting information out there on tube related to embouchure!!!!!!
Peter Castellano thank you Peter. I really appreciate your kind words!
Awesome video. Like the way you bring your information to your viewers.
Solid, clear information, as always! Thank you.
Very good advice, really appreciate it .cheers
This really helped! I had difficulty reaching the C5 before this, anything lower was fine. My teacher is a french horn player and he was stumped figuring out why I couldn't go any higher. I have been looking at youtube video's for some tips and it got me thinking that I never really trained my embouchure. Using a good embouchure my range went from C4-C5 to G4-G5. It feels way more comfortable too so I think I'm going in the right direction. I guess I now need to practice more using this embouchure and get the lower notes working again.
That's great! Yes, although the French horn is very similar in many ways, the embouchure setup is quite different. I recommend you focus a lot on long tones for at least 2 weeks to establish the new muscle set and get stronger. As you go down think "ahhh" and lower your tongue to get the notes with ease. Best of luck!

Thomas B glad it helped you!
Your explanation is very good! It became a very easy way to understand the right and wrong way. I already subscribed to your channel and like every video that is great! Thank you very much!
Thank you too!!!
Hello Estela, that was very instructional!
This is my tenth video on trumpet embouchure that I've gone through. I've played a bunch of woodwinds and trombone, but trumpet embouchure has been killing me! This actually helped. Thanks!
I’m glad it did! I think you might be interested in more helpful tips at www.trumpetheadquarters.com. Enjoy!
Awesome instructions!!!! Many instructions don't include the WHY factor. Thank you from the bottom💯
Thanks for watching!!
Always awesome 🙏🏼❤
I had issues arrise a few months ago from overplaying and they never went away. I had heard of this term before, but I was still able to play a really healthy range, so I never looked into it. That being said, while I am going to really have to practice this change in embouchure and almost rebuild my range ground up, already I feel much better. Thank you so much for this
I’m so glad it helped!
This was the best video on youtube about playing in the red. Awesome!
So glad you found it useful David. I invite you to check out my Instagram where I post tips and more. instagram.com/trumpetheadquarters
@@TrumpetHeadquarters just followed your IG thanks !
Thanx, this is just what I needed.
So glad to hear that!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I started playing the Cornet in 1977, and I played into 1984! I finally gave up and went onto other instruments because I couldn't play high notes and I was tired all the time! A week ago Friday, i found a Trumpet at a yard sale. They wanted $5 for it! I bought it. It's a King. I didn't want too, but I did! Then last Tuesday, the 7th of December, I saw this video up top! I watched it! OMG! OMG! You are AMAZING! THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! My tone is already Improving! But the High Notes! I don't just hit them, but I play them! Like E, F, G! I've never even tried A in my life! But yesterday, for the first time in my life I played a High A and held it twice! Do you know how beautiful that is to me! I'm 54 years old! I've been broken and living on the streets for years. I had given up on life! THANK YOU!
You are so welcome! If you’d like more lessons like this one I have a trumpet course online at www.trumpetheadquarters.com. Maybe it’s of interest to you. Happy practicing!
when i go to work i take my mouthpiece with me a 5c and practice using just the mouthpiece but glad i got to see this video it helps explain now i wanna make a my own
visual mouthpiece
Great Gary!
Thank you
I have 2-3 things to say about this video:
1. I'm just now getting back into playing my trumpet and I had trouble with my embouchure. I was wondering why I sounded so fuzzy and ig "airy" while I was playing.
2. I want to thank you for showing a close up visual of what I was doing wrong. Looking at this visual and trying it myself on the actual mouthpiece changed the way I sounded, and I saw what I was doing wrong.
3. This was published last year on my birthday :D
This video was also extremely helpful ^^
Thank you!
Weeb Weeb great! I’m so glad it helped you :) check our more tips and and free resources at www.trumpetheadquarters.com. I just put out a blog on building endurance so you don’t tired too fast. Happy practicing!
Do you think a mouthpiece visualizer would have helped more? I'm not sure I could figure out where to put the mouthpiece on my lips to avoid the red part!
Thank you very much🙏🙏
Very excellent presentation!!
Thank you so muchn
Thank you so much
Very helpful thanks!
Happy I could help!
Very Good video especially to me. Thanks Estella. I am trying not to use red part for playing. But as to put piece to upper part of upper lip, I feel stuff and not easy to buzz lips.It is not easy to correct my previous habit.
Bad habits can take a long time to correct but it is possible. I hope it’s going better for you now.
Thanks a ton for this tip. Not enough embouchure videos out there. Now if you could post a video on how to use your tongue for high notes I’d love that. Thanks again.
Brandon Bangerter so glad this helped you. I’m working very hard to create a lot of help for people. If you would sign up for my newsletter you can be notified when I start offering freebies and such. Simply go to www.trumpetheadquarters.com home page to sign up!
I forgot to mention that putting the tongue between the lips before playing is absolutely essential. Thank you for showing that too. It's the "spit buzz" that's so crucial to a well formed powerful embouchure.
Hi buddy! Thank you for your tip!!! My problem was not putting the tongue beteen my lip before make buzzing!!! I suceed BUZZING today !! :)

i love it, this lesson... thannks sister
Also thank you for teaching me such a valuable lesson
It’s my pleasure!
This video was extremely helpful
David Valdovinos I’m glad it helped you! Don’t hesitate to post any questions.
wow all my teachers were telling me to play how your telling but i watched this now i am the best
Amazing!
I am SO glad I found this video, as that IS my problem. I learned incorrectly over 30yrs ago and also up until recently have been also playing on WAY too small a mouthpiece, sigh. How do you roll the top lip? I have to set-up by bringing my mouthpiece from top (head) down to my lips vs the other way. It helps me to remember it needs to be on top of lip vs red area.
I just purchased a new mouthpiece as my old one was fatiguing me too quickly and my upper register was very difficult. My upper register has never been very good and the reason is too small a mouthpiece. I am making slow progress on the new mouthpiece, a Stork Vacchiano 1.5E.
Amy Frechette thanks for watching Amy! What you’re doing is helpful, to slide the mouthpiece down from the nose to make sure you’re not pulling your top lip back. Side note of your mouthpiece: that’s a very shallow piece. I wouldn’t not recommend it at all for someone who is making an embouchure change, a beginner or intermediate player.
@@TrumpetHeadquarters My Vacchiano 3B was making me exhausted to play on and I had No range, even back in high school I was never a high note player. I started off on stuff way TOO small so I am trying to correct the problem. I agree I think I am going to contact Stork about getting a deeper cup. I prefer a dark sound have always loved the flugel because of the deep and mellow sound you get.
The mouthpiece I currently have was a starting point purchased direct from Stork and they said we could make changes as we go if need be. My final question is I own a Bach 7C Trombone (Euphonium) mouthpiece, do you think buzzing on it will help me w placement so my lips (mouth) aren't open? With this mouthpiece it covers your entire lip surface vs trumpet. Thanks Again.
Hey, thanks so much - great advice for us beginners! Would love to have some guidance on how to start experimenting with salsa soloing. What scales can we use? What are the basic rules? Etc. Not much on UA-cam surrounding this. Thank you again
Soloing in any genre is the same basics. The MOST important aspect of improv is being familiar with the music. Can you sing improv a salsa solo? For me that’s step one. If you can’t do it off the horn then you should start there. Listen listen and listen and then emulate with your voice. Don’t think of what scales, that’s more of a jazz habit, in salsa the scales are very common, lots of minor forms. Instead of scales think of rhythm, syncopation, and articulation. Like I said, the best way to go is to listen to salsa and learn the lines you hear. Feel free to let me know how it goes!
Estela I was searching specifically for your video on embouchure. I couldn’t find it maybe because that keyword isn’t in your title (playing in the red). Many other videos pop up, but I know you put up good content, so I like to follow you just saying. I’ll be signing up for your lessons.
Okay thank you so so much my instructors never showed me how to do it properly had some trouble everytime I was in the red they told me to play harder
i loe itu. good lesson of trumpet.thanks
Thank for the tip
You’re very welcome!
Thanks a lot for this.
You're very welcome!
Hi good explanation , excelent. I play fanfare bugle on my country and try of use all possible technic. Questions what about buzzing technic? and when play brass instrument the pressure on lip is necessary at let little pressure?.
Regards.
Cool thank you
wonderful
Thank you!
Super super super tips
Augustine violinist from Malaysia
i have been a trumpet player for more than 10years and i don't have good embouchure......i will work on this
It really benefiture
Thanks so much for this Great Video! I noticed that your visualizer has extensions coming straight out from the lip round lip piece. Other visualizers have a 2 to 3 inch holding arm. What are the advantages or disadvantages of each. I really want to get one and I want to buy the one that is easier to work with. Thanks so much!!
Jerry Eisner the visualizer I have actually goes into the receiver, like a mouthpiece. The advantage is I can use it with the exact same amount of pressure and positioning I use when I play, it can also be used to buzz if needed, though I don’t do that. The extended holding arm has the advantage of an unobstructed view.
Trumpet Headquarters thanks for your quick and helpful reply! Your videos and your teaching are so well done!! 👍🎺
Good day, Estela,
Could you please tell me what brand and model is the one you use in this video?
I have been looking for one, and what comes more often as a result is the Warburton A.T.V.
I don't like what I see because looks to me I won't be able to properly look at myself doing the embouchure with that visualizer, as I can see you do in this video.
Thanks in advance.
THANK YOU THAT HELPED SO MUCH qwq
I'm so glad!
You helped me so much thank you🤍
You are very welcome!!
THX SOOO MUCH
You are very welcome!
This is best video
Thank you for these kind words.
What is your opinion on the Warburton P.E.T.E. embouchure training exerciser? Is it effective in helping to develop proper embouchure?
Wilson Diaz hi thanks for watching this video. I think the PETE is great for intermediate/advanced players who have a teacher. I don’t think it’s good for beginners, or for any level student to use on their own. It has potential to do more harm than good. With guidance though it IS a great tool to strengthen an embouchure that’s already well established, but not to form or develop one. FYI, I do own a PETE and I love it.
Muchas gracias.. Subtítulos para los que no dominamos el inglés?
Nelson Peñaranda gracias a usted por ver la clase. Voy a hacer este mismo vídeo en español para todos los seguidores Hispanos en la próxima semana. Subscríbete para ser notificado. Ahí nos vemos!
Great info, but i wish i had a teacher close to where i live, because right now the best way for me to sound decent is not rolling in the lips, meaning playing in the red or mushy part
da11king thanks for watching the video. Yes, it’s possible to play in the red and sound ok or decent. If you are experiencing fatigue, unclear tonguing and flexibility issues your embouchure could be incorrect. It’s not easy to make an embouchure change because at first you will not sound good, but over time you will sound 100 times better than you did before. Feel free to check out my website at trumpetheadquarters.com. Maybe the lessons there could help you since you don’t have access to a teacher at the moment. I use a forum to stay in touch and help the students. Good luck!
This helped me out a ton(e) 😆
I'm glad it helped you! Please visit trumpetheadquarters.com for ton(es) of trumpet resources :)
Am a beginner still finding it hard. Thanks
Hey ma'am thanks for the tips,I have a question,when playing the trumpet what is the position of the lower Teeth going to look like
Lower teeth should ideally be vertically aligned with the top teeth. This provides an even surface for the mouthpiece to rest, and avoid putting too much weight on the top or bottom lip. Also, the teeth should be apart, NEVER together. I encourage you to check out my website trumpetheadquarters.com for lots of free resources and a helpful free blog. Good luck!
Great helpful video, im trying to learn how to play the Shofar, lol dam and i thought playing the guitar was difficult
Giovanni Serafín hahaha the shofar is quite difficult isn’t it? Fun little instrument!
@@TrumpetHeadquarters yeah very difficult lol, i got me a kudu horn shofar, ive been practicing my diaphragm breathing, thanks for the great video very helpful. What instruments do you play Estela?
When I did it the first time, I played high G and high F really well but I can’t seem to find the embouchure anymore, what should I do??
where can i get that display?
I love your sound. Can you recommend a good book that focuses on tonguing?
Thank you! Sigmund Hering has a book for double and triple tonguing. It’s basically the section out of the Arban, which you can also use of course. Arban beginning studies #11-27 are great for articulation practice and so are all the syncopation studies. If you want to clean up tonguing you literally just use one note and practice articulation exactly the same every single time, then go down a half step. Good luck!
@@TrumpetHeadquarters Thank you for your reply. I practice one of those books almost every day. I would like to know more basic books. My pronunciation has gotten worse since I changed my embouchure.
@@TrumpetHeadquarters Thank you!
But I'm not happy with my current tonguing, so I'm just looking for a real basic book that focuses on just tonguing.
I can't understand anything other than Japanese, so I'm using translation software, so I'm on the journey to find the notes that will help me get the hang of it.
I always enjoy watching your videos!
Thank you so much.
Hello Estela ! Thank you for this interesting video !👍 It will be helpful for me.😉 (I play the trumpet in my arrangements on my channel) Greetings from France !🙂
Frédéric Motteux super! Merci beaucoup pour ton commentaire!
I am new to trumpeting and will have my first lesson soon. When practicing the major scales, is the tongue used to blow out the notes or is it just air?
Wilson Diaz ALWAYS start with the tongue!! Breath or air articulation is sometimes used but not for playing actually music. Sometimes we use it to correct problems in students. So ask your teacher. Have fun!
@@TrumpetHeadquarters Thank you!
I’d like to have you as my teacher 😁. I’m not doing very well on my own. How much spit should I be emptying out of the dump valve after a couple of minutes ? Seems like quite a bit.
Sounds like you need a teacher 👀 www.trumpetheadquarters.com
Jokes aside, after two minutes next to no spit honestly. Everyone is a little different, but I usually empty every 4-5 mins and it’s just a few drops.
@@TrumpetHeadquarters okay. I guess I’ve just got some improving to do. 👍
Where can I find the lip gauge that you was using?
They don’t make this one in particular anymore but Pickett has one. Check it out www.pickettblackburn.com/accessories-c-105/asper-trumpet-mouthpiece-visualizer-p-954.html. You can also find the rod version on Amazon by searching “trumpet visualizer” Hope that helps!
What brand and size mouth piece do you use?Im older and starting back up. My 7 c isn’t working anymore. I’m using a Bach 10 3/4 CW . It’s much mitre comfortable but takes more wind
Hi Paul, you can find all my equipment information at the bottom of my video descriptions :) But I use a Denis Wick American Classic 3C.
@@TrumpetHeadquarters I’m caught up in mouthpiece madness.I’ll check out wick.
Shquickly is my new favorite word
I have very little of my mouthpiece in the red, I have very few problems. Are these things to develop later or cause problems?
If you are not experiencing any significant problems just leave it alone. You may just need development to iron out your current problems. If after weeks of daily and correct practice you continue to have some problems I would consult a instructor with a private lesson.
That visualizer though? Why dont all teachers know about this??
Hi Estela I'm Peruvian too I just started Trumpet kind of late but that's okay love your channel
Wow! I have Moscoso on my dad's side too! Best of luck on your playing. Feel free to ask questions on any of my videos.

james moscoso thanks, enjoy playing!
I want to learn how to play the trumpet. I can play piano and guitar and read music fluently. I dont know anything abt the trumpet. What kind of trumpet do you recommend? I looked on Amazon and theres so many kinds, its overwhelming.
Iowangal Smith if you’re an absolutely beginner I recommend you check out my course on www.trumpetheadquarters.com. I go over allll the basics of trumpet playing. Getting a book on your own can be problematic because there is high chance you could setup your embouchure wrong from the start. Start with the course and go from there. That’s my suggestion. Good luck and thanks for watching!
My friends playing always sounded muted. I figured out that she had like some of lip off the sides of the mouthpiece
Thats me for 30 years! Now, I finally want to correct the problem!!!
It's never too late to correct bad habits!
@@TrumpetHeadquarters What's my first step, purchasing a trumpet visualizer?
@@TrumpetHeadquarters Thank you for replying but my question is what would be my next step to buy a mouthpiece visualizer or start lessons with you?
Been practicing for about 2 years now, recently I notice my lower lips curls around my bottom teeth and I get bruised inside my lip. I am trying this out but my lower lip still curls in, any advice on how to correct myself?
Mmm unfortunately without seeing you play virtually I can’t diagnose what the issue is. I could make it worse by suggesting something without a proper lesson. I do private one-on-one consultations. If you are interested just email me at trumpetheadquarters@gmail.com
I love you ❤️
Hello Estela! Good nainht! How are you!
Thank you is the only video with lots of zoom that explains very well how to put the lips ...
@@md4645 thank you!!
How do I know if my mouthpiece is too big or too small? I notice that my lips get tired and shake when I’m playing high gs
You won't know if it's too big or small for your needs right now if you're beginner (aka playing for 0-3 years). Why? Because the first few years of playing create big changes and adjustments in our lips and embouchure. We strengthen new muscles sets we didn't use before and slowly acclimate our lips, facial muscles and even teeth to endure the weight of the trumpet. The best thing any beginner can do is to start with a standard mouthpiece size 7C or equivalent. This is comfortable for the large majority and playable for a wide variety of lip types and shapes. Some exceptions of course are for those with extreme overbites and things like that, but otherwise, focus on developing your embouchure on a standard mouthpiece and SLOWLY developing your range. High notes don't matter if your tone, rhythm and flexibility are lacking. Without those, the high note will always be difficult!
Dịch tiêng Vietnam được không bạn
My range was completely reset and I have to start from zero again. Is this normal because I’m kind of mad that I have to start over and form a better embouchure.
Ahhh frustration; the #1 step in an embouchure change. YES, IT IS NORMAL, but rest assured it’s not permanent. Think about it this way, you are using a new muscle set now, and they’re weak, so you will need to shape and strengthen them. Focus on LONG long tones in your attainable range to rebuild. Hold each note as long as possible. A couple times a day and that’s it. Good luck, doing an embouchure change without a teacher is difficult, but not impossible. Best of luck!
Hi can I ask a question? Ahm... I determined to play a trumpet but i have a problem. I have a rabbit teeth a big one. Do you think this can be a hindrance to play trumpet or this can be cause a reason to not play with it coz i want to try out in a band.
I hope you can answer my question thanks alot!
Usually problems with range show up if the upper lip is a lot shorter than the front top teeth, which would also be the case with long front teeth. I can't advice you properly without actually seeing you play of course, like a doctor who can't diagnose your illness without seeing you in person, but many players have success by placing the mouthpiece lower on the lower lip. It may or may not work work you. The relationship between the teeth and lips is important for trumpet playing and a balance is ideal, but you can sometimes be successful. I recommend you find a very good trumpet instructor either in person or online to examine your case. Hope that helps!
Thank you very much❤️
I don't think i played in the red but my bottom lips keep sticking out, this is my one and only problem, I cant play really well because of it, what did i do wrong?
Ive been playing since i was 8 am now 37 just play for self enjoyment these days and i like to bugle for scouts. I am actually not able to play if i'm not in the red zone. my comfort zone is in the red zone.
Hi thanks for your comment! Like I say in the video there is definitely a small percentage of people it just works for. And I’m so glad you know what you need and what works! A good example would be Gary Alesbrook too who I love. Fantastic tone and versatility.
I don’t know if u still respond but if u do, my notes all sound the same so is that just my trumpet or me. Because even when I fixed mouth (which was wrong) it still sounds the same so can u help me thank you 😊
Elaborate pls. The same tone? The same pitch? The same how?
The same tone Srry
@@rhice8829 ok so ...if the tone isn't a desired one then there could be an embouchure problem. If the tone is good though, then you've got no problem. If you're saying the actual notes are the same, like you can't play different notes, then again there is likely an issue at the embouchure. If you're interested, try my online course. It has a free 3-day trial. I provide tailored support to my students through the student forum where you can post videos of your playing. Unfortunately I can't help much without actually hearing/seeing you play. Best of luck!
Thanks! My cheeks where hurting when I played now they dont
Evie Irvin music to my ears!! Glad it helped you!
Do you happen to know a youtuber who does flugel orientated tutorials? I know trumpet and flugel are almost the same practical wise, but I learn a lot by ear. I now feel i play the flugel too loud and i struggle with playing soft. Playing soft is so difficult.
I do y really know any good channel specifically for that. Do u have the same problem on trumpet? And what mouthpiece do you use on flugel? And finally, what material is the bell of the flugel?
What's your recommendation for beginner trumpet player?
Start correctly! The bad habits you form at first are the hardest to break. I have a beginner guide you can use at www.trumpetheadquarters.com/free-beginner-trumpet-warm-up/. Enjoy!
