Re: Upper Register drills

Then just beat your chops into submission. Like every other trumpet player on the planet that brick wall is just waiting for you to bang your face into it. Some never do find the way back however.................

Intelligence is the only SOLUTION. Believe me, a period of less will amount to much, much more. Controlled, constructive practice will give you the power that you are looking for. The mob gives you everything that will prevent your improvement. The choice is yours!

In several cases I have even told my students not to perform during the building process (they were actually given no choice as I was not interested in wasting their and my time). The 3- 6 months of proper habit building turned their playing around however.
