| Doing just the Leadpipe long tones can really help get you going each day. Pull out the tuning slide and buzz full sounding long tones with the air going flat out, constant air motion. Start the tones without the tongue, breath attacks only, and work for the sound to start immediatly. No hesitation. Air in and out in one motion, follow through with the air, rest at least as much as you play. Carry that full blown sensation into your trumpet, see what it sounds like after three weeks! |
