All my work is commercial--When I practise I often ask myself "Is this something I could remove from my routine?"
Did you eliminate some of your routines and start to concentrate on "different" techniques.
Once again, thanks! |
This goes to the heart of my thoughts about trumpet- playing.
I am a believer in the inner musician. I am a musical actor who can change roles at the blink of an eye. One moment John Adams, the next Elton John.
Concentrate of the inner trumpet. Sing......it doesn't have to be done publicly, but that sound, that phrase must be activated be the soul of the player.
I work on arias and songs. I try variations of tonguing sounds. If a player can control the inflections of their playing they can do almost any type of music.
Wynton and Lew Soloff have that amazing skill.
Concentrate on sound and style, that is the key.
