The single best trumpet advise ever! - Page 5

The best trumpet advise ever. I am not sure if I have any as good as yours but.

The best horn players can only play a few notes, and still make every one amazed - Mr. Doyle, Jazz Band Director (Pianist), I also got the same quote from my dad who is a guitarist as well as my private instructor. Best peice of improv advice I EVER recieved, it doesn't hold true on all instruments.

Worst advise:
Your out of tune. Change your embroucher - Dylon

Second Best advise:
Every note should be a new adventure. - Mr. Doyle, again Jazzcentric

Every day Best advise:
Loudness is not the same as full.

In a word "Practice"

"Practice" wow that is amazing advise (not being sarcastic). I never thought of it as advise more of a logical step, but ok.

"Music is for listening."

Many people have told me to "sing with the horn" at various times in my life. I never really quite understood what that meant. Then I was playing duets with Richard Steffen one day in the early 1990's and he explained (indirectly) that it meant to hear in your brain what you wanted to come out the end of the horn. I guess to most of you that seems obvious. I had been a good trumpet player mechanically for years, but struggled with musicallity and intonation. I would listen all the time and adjust. Then I discovered that if I just got the tubeing of the horn close to the right length and audiated (sing in your brain) things pretty much took care of themselves. I've also discovered that conversely, if I get distracted and stop audiating, I get myself into trouble spots.

"Focus the air at your lips."

I'm not quite sure what it means, but if I am having trouble air, I think this to myself and it works wonders.

The best advice I ever got was from my college days, "play pretty"... I think Doc is a prime example, even when he's pushing the limits it's always damn pretty.

Play the notes to their full value.
