Sorry about the volume of the music in the beginning. I uploaded one version and had copyright issues, so I changed the music for this track, but I didn't quite get the levels right.

Many thanks, Ryan. This is inspiring me to change my warm-up. I've been free-buzzing for five minutes, sometimes just buzzing a ballad out of the Realbook. It probably helps more with pitch and intonation more than anything I incorporated some leadpipe buzzing into my warmup after a number of KZread trumpeters recommended it - but I'm damned if I can hear it doing anything for my playing. It does remind me to pull all my slides out so they don't get frozen (that pesky little 2nd valve slide). I think I'll just start pulling my slides out and skipping the buzzing, LOL. Then I'll do slow tritone triad pairs as a "flow study" in all inversions over my full range (i.e. F#-C, B-F, etc.). Then Caruso "6 Notes" with bends, extending the range. 15 to 20 minute chunks of time works better for me. Yes, of course: long tones! One thing all trumet players can agree on - not every single day, though I know I should. Sorry for going on too long here, but again, thanks for a helpful vid.

Hey, so I am very mad at myself because I was doing well with extending range(along with tone and all fundamentals), however I stretch my corners and this is limiting me. I am switching to a more efficient embouchure, well, trying to. I keep doing the old habit of stretching. I want to play without making virtually any corner movement. How in the world can I get this out of my playing.(Btw I am trying the "Corners in" method but I end up stretching even when thinking that)

I'm more of a Jazz trumpeter btw, so that's why I am mainly doing this for range especially, since I have capped out at the high D, D#

What mouthpiece are you playing?

Sorry for the negativity, but the background music at the start until 1:28 is way too loud.

Yeah I’m sorry. I guess I didn’t turn it down enough. I’m usually pretty good about making sure my audio isn’t covered.
