whoa!! Great technique--I wish I had your tongue and fingers! I am your biggest fan-- at 6'4" --probably your biggest fan physically! :) All the best!
Thanks, I was pretty into drum corps early in high school. I auditioned for the Bluecoats my sophomore year. I was able to go back to the second camp but they said I was too young, even though I sounded fine. I kinda gave up on corps and moved into the orchestral setting. Now I'm a freshman in college working on trumpet performance.
is monette mpc necessary? Nothing against them(awesome horns etc), but does it take 300 dollars to find the sound you want? Personal sound is mostly mental and the physical aspects will follow. I mean u wouldnt use a super shallow mpc like a Bach 3F for orchestra, but say if u played a 3c (not recommending it, i didnt like it, just an example) you could get any sound u want.
They are necessary if the player thinks they are. I play one and love it. It helps me to achieve the sound I have in my head easier. This kid sounds great. I say whatever he is doing, keep at it!
Wow nice job! I didn't know you put more videos on here!! You need to keep ppl informed. But you sounds very good. It's Steph by the way. lol What are you playing here? A song or just exercises?
try getting a thing called the Buzzarella, invented by Vince Penzarella, it works better then a burp and has less a risk of sliding off and blowing ur face :D
Nice playing, is that the Yamaha Xeno by chance? If it is, than we have the same trumpet. I Love my Xeno, its amazing, than I tried my private instructor's Yamaha Z trumpet and its even more amazing, wish I had bought that one... Maybe I will as a graduation present to myself and in college use my Xeno for marching and Z for symphonic/jazz.
P.S.
I Like your burp... need to get one of those to my collection of trumpet stuff.
Out of curiosity, what type of mouth piece is that?
Lip trills is something that i just started to tackle. Yours sound wonderful. You need to keep working on that circular breathing so that you don't go out of tune when you do it. It is a tendency to go flat so tighten up when you do it andsee if that helps. After a while, your muscles will build up so that you can do it comfotably without tightenting. I had the same problem.
Hey man you are really good do you have any tips for how to get that good??? I am a freshman, and I have been recommended to listen to this and you are really good!!! They said to try to have the emotion in music like you do. Any tips?
Hey, thanks for the comment. My two biggest tips I could give you is take private lessons (if you haven't already), and practice a lot. When you combine these two essential things, you will improve dramatically, that's a promise. And if you love playing, all the better. Best of luck to ya.
well, most of the time, but there is this one trumpet in my high school band who practices alot, takes lessons, and still can't play anything worth crap.
wow..you are extremely good for a senior in high school. I'm a junior and I know how hard I've worked to get where I am, and that is no where close to how good you are. You must practice a whole lot.
What kind of mouthpiece is that? I play on a shhilke 14A4A and its uncomfortable when im playing high notes then i have to drop to the lower notes. Do you have any suggestions?

I'm playing on a Monette C2 mouthpiece, it's really nice. What I would recommend for you, if you haven't already, is get the best private teacher you can afford, and talk to them. Mouthpieces are a case-by-case ordeal, everybody's mouthes are different. Try experimenting with different kinds. Good luck!
A Monette C2 on a Bb trumpet? That's interesting. You do know that the C2 is specifically designed for use in C trumpets, don't you? Obviously it works in a Bb (you play much better than me), but have you tried the Monette B2? Same basic mouthpiece, but designed for a Bb trumpet instead of a C. Don't know how much difference there is--only what I read on the Monette web site. I play on a B2 and really like it.
Yeah, I know about the c2. my prof is letting me borrow it for an orchestra and he said i could use it on the Bb, works fine for me. I'll be gettin a prana b1-1 slap soon...as soon as a work enough for the 300 bucks lol

a)watch the cracking and fracking
b)you sounded like you went flat on some notes. Remember: fast, warm air through the instrument at all times.
c) I though that was good for someone your age.
