  Hello again, Daniel. How do you feel about the use of embouchure trainers and mutes as practice tools?

• 
  @danielthomas76296 күн бұрын

  @willsoneupher4040 I've only ever used a pencil squeezed between my lips as an aid for developing compression, everything else just seems to be an expensive version of that! Stay away from any devices that aim to reduce mouthpiece pressure; too little pressure can be as detrimental to your playing as too much pressure! As for mutes, I personally don't see a benefit; I actually don't use practice mutes at all as I find the resistance messes up my face.

  @@danielthomas7629 Hi. Thanks for answering my questions. I have a P.E.T.E. I bought mostly because I wanted to build stronger embouchure muscles. I don’t use it often, but I’ve been thinking that maybe I should? Would you elaborate a bit more on building compression? I have a practice mute because I don’t want to disturb anyone, but I gotten to the point where I hate having to use it. Plus, it sucks when I’m playing through long tones trying to tune. 😂😂😂

  @@willsoneupher4040 Potentially something I can talk about in my high range vid! Compression is basically the pinching power of the lips, helps you keep your chops under control as you ascend so the hole in the middle of your lips doesn't collapse or become too open. P.E.T.E seems to be a device which pulls away from the lips, I'm not really sure what that develops, in all honesty? If you're after some easy exercises which build chop strength, check out the 'Three Daily Playing Calisthenics' at the following link www.trombone.org/articles/view.php?id=240#:~:text=The%20Three%20Daily%20Playing%20Calisthenics,and%20the%20Pencil%20Trick%20Routine. I find that the above routine is enough to keep me in shape, even if I don't touch my instrument for a few days. I've even had a week away from the instrument, only doing the above exercises everyday, and it's been enough to keep me reasonably in shape on the instrument.

  @@danielthomas7629 GOTCHA!!! I definitely look forward to seeing that video! There’s a video that warburton made explaining how to use it much better than I can. 😅You can actually use both ends of the device. One end for pulling and the other for holding in place, much like the pencil technique you said you’ve used sometimes. Thanks for the tips!!!

  Hi Dan, hope you're well. Thanks for a great video. I've been playing 40+ years, and have never heard anyone refer to this pivot before. I'm off to experiment now....!! Cheers.

• 
  @danielthomas76296 күн бұрын

  @neiljohnson1971 Glad to hear it's something new, at least! Check out the notes below, just to make sure you get it right! 1. The embouchure pivot or motion refers to moving the lips and mouthpiece together as a unit in an upward or downward direction along the teeth and jaw to change register. 2. The mouthpiece placement on the lips stays the same, but the relationship of the rim/lips to the teeth changes. 3. Avoid excessive movement, let the sound and pitch be the guide. All the best!

• 
  @danielthomas7629Ай бұрын

  I'm certainly looking into a high note video! As for clef switching, my best advice is to learn the clef from the ground up rather than transpose at sight. I tried to transpose down a fifth, but it's impossible to do for quicker music. Get a hold of bass clef parts for treble clef pieces you know, or the opposite depending on what your mother clef is! All the best,
