3 years ago I retired from high school music teaching and thought, now I’ve got the time to practice 3 hours a day and fix my playing. Ha! A year later I discovered WindWorks. It took me 2 years just just to get past my ego and the desire to hold on to my “ competence” just to begin to understand what Greg is talking about. Is anyone else on the planet teaching so effectively about how to approach the learning process involved in reprogramming motor skills? I feel so fortunate to have access to this great pedagogue! The process is the purpose!😉😉
I too Greg keep coming back to MTM, as problems, whether golf or trumpet, most always relate to the basics. I was having a major issue with endurance, and realized I had Ah-Ooed into the red. Simple adjustment, but keep the aperture open and I'm back in control. Same principal with my golf game and now playing the best golf in 40 years, at age 75. Best to you.
I'm just now going back through the Largo section and lightbulbs are coming on now. I was in too much of a hurry to get through it all the first time through. The timing of this video is perfect for where I'm at with my redevelopment now. I only wish you were doing this many years ago, I'm an older player and get impatient to be capable of playing like I wanted to 20 years ago but was clueless then and ingrained many bad habit patterns. I appreciate the golf analogies. Thanks Greg!
Thanks greg, I watch the whole thing. It takes really a long time for me to be in that process ; try to understand, visualize, explore feelings, believe in one thing, accept to switch, that real results comes sometimes slowly, sometimes faster, progress , accept bad days and even in these days to try figure out what's going on....let it go...etc thanks for your passion to explain all visible and invisible aspects of playing (and more).
Watched whole thing wink. This is my first time watching one of your vids; probably a funny one to start with but I’ve been a cognitive neuroscience, learning, and pedagogy geek for a long time. I’ve remapped parts of my brain before that I originally thought I didn’t even possess, but managed to map and then develop to the point of becoming a paid pro. I also have been relearning trumpet embouchere as an adult who was taught the wrong way as a kid (which is how I heard about your stuff). I also do an extreme shoulder-involved sport but had a major shoulder-back accident a couple years into it. A lot of what you’re saying in the video here totally corresponds to my experience having to remap an entire side of my body for high performance again after the car wreck. It’s awesome to see such a good compilation of some of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn about remapping and learning, and which I forget all the time, and articulate, then can’t articulate any more again. To really learn stuff towards sustainable, rewarding progress, we have to learn these hard lessons about learning its self, too, over and over, from a thousand different angles in a thousand different instances and circumstances.
Well. Thanks Greg. I did watch the whole thing and I am very intrigued 🤔 Can’t wait to chat on Monday with the a daylesford brass band. In the mean time I will watch some more See you then 😉
Watched the whole clip, Im an ex golfer, it took me 25years to get to 5 hcp. So I understand process. A great psychologist used by golfers is Bob Rotella. I'm mid 50's picked horn up after 40 and trying to progress to intermediate level. It makes me smile you play a study piece, get past the tricky bit relax and go wrong.lol So music has to be helpful to our brains, to help concentration.
You are the man. I’ve know about you for years but it only just clicked like a couple of weeks ago for me that this is what I need to be doing! I’m in Chicago. How do I get a lesson if you’re available?
Hi Greg. I got the idea about process. I do like to work. I do not have a lot of hours but between 30 minuts and 60 minuts a day. I get 60 next year. Played for at lot of years. Had a wonderfull time with BAlanced Embouchure. Had sone surgery in my top lip. Never since I got that lever again...NEVER. Do still play 4th trumpet but would like the ease like before. Do clearly work too much Do you advice trying to incorperate your thoughts along my playing or take half a year off playing to learn new stuff? I guess, that both are usefull but needs different aproaches? Take care Erik Denmark
WINK... New neurol pathways... done through the process of experimentation... but channeling what just worked so well, again. Over time, you will be able to recapture something when you are RECEPTIVE at the outset. Then, as you repeat it, you start to cement it. Yes... it IS a cerebral process.
Thanks Greg, still awake and thank you for your vids. I am a consultant psychotherapist, everything you said is absolutely bang on. Cheers.

Nice 1 Greg still here! I love your passion
This is the best teaching I've ever seen in my life. Thank you so much.

Watched the whole thing and it’s starting to make sense 😉
This is winking gold.. I've always struggled to remove the ego from my playing.. thanks for this valuable message..
Hi Greg. Watched the whole thing. Thanks
Yes, i watched the complete video! Learning is also always exploring the unnown....! Trying different things and honestly judgeing about the effect!
Great stuff Greg! Really inspiring. Thanks

I enjoy your different take on things, they are not working as yet but I'm an open minded student
Great video Greg, wink
Thanks, Greg. 😉
I watched the whole video! ;)

Thanks @J-Mo Yes, I teach, just click here my friend. Cheers, Greg mysterytomastery.com/product/online-trumpet-lesson-with-greg-spence/
