  • where does the video skip? not that i honestly care if you think its fake, i havent even played my horn in 2 years.

  • @zuzma

    dude you are dumb, have you heard of the aborigines. or even better yet the very first wind instrument, the didge?

  • @4075640756

    yes. and what the hell does that have to do with anything in this video that makes me dumb?

  • no offence, but the several places where the video skips leads me to believe that there might be some video editing involved. Not that your lying about it, its just seems slightly less authentic to me

  • nice. i could be wrong but at 0:20 it looks like u messed up and started to cover it up. once again i could be wrong. but great job! i wish i could do it that well. ehn i start to play after breathing and switch away from cheeks i always stop for a second kind of like im tounging.

  • cool

  • i can do it with my baritone its not that challenging

  • the second c almost blew my speakers....

  • could someone help me i want to find a link to a guide to circular breathing. Please someone help i'm a noob and want to be good! :(

  • is it to hard to make circular breathing with the trumpet? how much time did it take you to learn circular breathing for trumpet?

    hey you're great!

    i'm from argentina!!!

    saludos!!! =)

  • i play the trumpet also, and good job. The only problem i saw was that you got a little flat when you did circular breath, but otherwise, nice. Oh, and i learned by using a straw and a glas of water also : )

  • please enlighten me on how you learned to circular breath with a straw & water please.

  • your chops must be dead....btw flawless.

  • thankyou

  • haha thanks! finally someone commented on all the shit that covered my walls

  • how long does it take to learn how to do that?

    by the way, that was realy good!

  • well it all depends on the individual, but really you just need to build up the muscles that are used for it. i remember i tried learning it for a bit and wasnt very good at it. i tried again a few months later and it just kind of clicked. and thankyou

  • its too complicated 4 me. Even though im a professional jazz saxophonist.

  • Play the trumpet much?

  • not sure if thats an insult or a compliment...

  • What was your point in doing this, to let people know that it could be done? People know that it can be done, what people want to know is, how is it done.please respond.

  • the point was bc i felt like it, and to show it being used. i mean the was i learned how to do so literally by going to google and typing in "how to circular breath"

    also, there are plenty of how to circular breath videos done by much more adequate players than myself already on youtube

  • yes, if one is so inclined/interested and LOOKS for about two seconds; there are plenty of great videos of instruction. This video helped me because I get to see it done with an instrument other than the one I play. Thanks for posting it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Now Behold! hehe.

  • Thanks for responding. I understanding now, and I will take your advice. But most of these video's only show that they can and not how. I guess I'm looking for a step by step (simplified) method of learning this skill. If you have any suggestions, please do. Thanks

  • i learned by using a straw in a glass of water. there no resistance, and you can actually see it happening.

    -as youre slowly breathing out through your mouth, alow the air to begin filling your cheeks

    -when your cheeks are full, begin pushing the air out of them

    -as you push the reserve air out your mouth with your cheeks, inhale thru your nose

    im not sure how clear that was, i only had a minute to type this up

  • o u make it sound easy dere's a guy o here with a bassoon who jus makes it sound so complicated

  • thankyou? :-)

  • DAMN.

  • Wish I could do that... too bad I stopped trumpet to fill the missing tuba spot. now I cant play trumpet very well :( and its impossible to do it on a tuba. its uses too much air :(. maybe I should start trumpet again...

  • NICE =P

  • anyone can circular breathing and double tougue?

  • what?

  • um, NO!!

    It's a skill that takes a long time to master.

  • nice. DCI

  • lol

  • I've been doing circular breathing for a short time, myself. Yet another weapon in our musical arsenal! You do it well, by the way. Keep at it! And, tell the truth...have you ever won any "bar bets" by wagering who can hold a note longer, and then proceeding to hold a note "forever"?! ;)

  • ha, when i was a senior in high school i schooled a bunch of freshmen who thought they were the shit

  • :-D! Playing music is the best past time!!

  • I hope to be as good as you one day! I'm a beginner, but still this is awesome!

  • great. i'm still tying to perfect this.

  • haha nice ministry of silly walks poster but yea awesome job i hope to b like you someday! =)

  • nice, never seen a trumpeter pull that off; I'm trying to myself. My question is, what's the medal in the background for (hanging on the wall)?

  • theres another one next to it. theyre my DCI world championship medals

  • Why does everyone have to criticize when they post. I don't understand. Good job man, wish I knew how to do that lol...

  • Have you noticed that you sacrifice pitch when you do it though?

  • well thats what practice is for isnt it

  • Sure is brother. Nice little slurs you added in there by the way. Most of them were pretty clean.

  • i can do that too:D

  • I play sax and I just learned how to circular breathe, woot!

  • sweet man, ya its a lot of fun

  • this is just another trumpet player trying to piss farther than the last...make some music asshole!

  • i have more videos dude, this is just me displaying some of the things that i can do, and i just did some lip trills to fill in the space between breathing. but thanks for contributing

  • do you use your circular breathing while paying in jazz band or what ever bans you do?

  • well thanks to marching corps i have a pretty large lung capacity so i dont actually use it too often. i did use it when i marched with carolina crown every once in a while and i do it alot durring slow lagato pieces in wind ensemble

  • Not to many people even come close to Rafael Mendez stile of playing.

  • Try to circular breathe and play different notes this time Like Rafael Mendez

  • Try to circular breathe and play different notes this time... Like Wynton on Moto Perpetuo!

  • Have you ever heard a recording of Raphael Mendez play Moto Perpetuo? He tongued every note. Beats me how he did that.

  • haha yeah... when I said that last comment, I figured more people would recognize his interp. then Raphaels ;) Yeah I know a trumpet player Rolf Smedvig, he took lessons from Raphael haha funny enough, Rolf made it in the Boston Symphony by the time he was 19. He's now with a group called The Empire Brass :)

  • dude! freaking teach me how to circular breathe! haha.

  • yo watch the intonation when you circular breathe...

  • ya, im working on it. thanks for the advice!

  • yeah that all has to do with embouchure strength. so like... isometric exercises (the pencil exercises, for example) or full range lip slurs (like double pedal c to double G, or pedal F to high F, etc.) and no pressure.

  • there are 6 open fingerings in the normal 2 1/2 ocvtive register. but once you get below a concert E4 you can play everything open and once you get above a concert Bb6 you can play everything open. anything below what i told you and above what i told you is in the pedal range and is open but to help tuning you can still use valves. the normal register notes that are played open are Bb4,5,6 F4 and 5 D5. those are all in concert pitch. does that answer your question?

  • I hear you circular breathing. Good job. How many notes can you get with JUST your lips (no valve) ?
