I took a long break (ten plus years) from playing the trumpet and now I try to practice as much as I can. I love playing now because there is no pressure to be perfect. As a bonus my kids are showing interest in playing an instrument so I call this a win win! Great video and I will definitely use these tips!

Welcome back to trumpet, Juan, and congratulations on your children showing interest in a musical instrument! 🎺♥
...you've got my attention. Thanks. Subscribed.
I have 71 years, learned to be a drummer and decided to learn trumpet in my retirement years. Sir your tips are spot on. Picked up a used Conn 1000 B that is in pretty good shape and both of us are working to learn Taps. As a retired vet I want to be there to give deceased Vets a respectful send off. Thank You so much for your instruction it is well received here.
Excellent advice here, Chris. I LOVE the bowling analogy! Consistency is the #1 thing that separates great players from very good ones. I also appreciate your guidance on managing the practice session and using tools (on/off the horn, fingering/singing/playing, recording practice for feedback/self-critique, developing sound concept modeling/listening to excellent recordings, play/rest etc). And making a PLAN for practice that includes fundamentals/performance prep/time management is critical. What do I want to accomplish in this practice session and why? Is this both a realistic and an urgent goal? To what degree can I improve this specific thing in THIS practice session or in this week or this month or year? I’ve adapted a tool that many companies use to grow their business capabilities; SMART = Specific - Measurable - Achievable - Relevant - Time to quantify progress/goals. Specific - example; consistent execution of a note, phrase, or piece at a specific tempo/volume/articulation/sound quality, etc. Measurable - practicing with recording/metronome/tuner provides immediate objective feedback. Achievable - set realistic goals for every practice session - and for weeks/months/years. Relevant - goal must matter to master/execute a technique/skill, piece, performance. Time-bound - deadlines for performance/audition/jury, but also my personal goals (for x period). Btw, Rex Richardson is a BEAST on this. His consistency/intensity/focus is off the charts! Again, great stuff, Chris - sharing what works (or doesn’t 😝!) helps so many of us!

@@ChrisDavisTrumpet It amazes me that when I learned trumpet us kids just sat in a room with 3 or 4 other kids and played. No instructions at all. No music theory. No techniques. You play the mouthpiece that came on your horn. We just played together and after a few years played at school functions . That was when I was in grade school. Now I am 72. Not having played for over 50 years. How things have changed.
Hello Chris, how are you doing? Well, Chris what kind of mouthpiece do you use, l mean what size, could you tell me? Tank you
