claude gordan: Systematic approach to daily practice. this book will give you the wind power, lung capacity, and air control that you're lacking. but only if you practice it diligently

I'm a Sophomore at Prospect High School and I also play the trumpet. It's sounds very nice. Just try to use more air on the fast notes. If you ever come to Prospect in Illinois and go to the band room this year, my section leader is an amazing player . Or you can find him on Facebook and ask him. His name is Robby Pittman

You have heart and feeling, and that is half of it.

You should try not to stop the air when you double and triple tongue. keep pushing it so that it sounds like doo doo doo doo rather than tee tee tee tee. Keep up the awesome job tho...

[popnlocker77]

I disagree. Certainly, he should push the air more. Message to the player - Starting at 3:44 by the way, you might do better to TRIPLE tounge that. But as for the doo doo doo, it definately doesn't have to sound like that. It can be ta ka ta, but you should push the air more.

Your control is good, but you need to be careful on the beginnings of notes. They sound a bit fuzzy. In the faster parts the notes are much less clear. Try using more warm air.

There were also a few times where it sounds a bit pinched.

You did a good job of not blaring though, which can be a difficult thing for trumpet players.

All in all, you did well. The last few notes made for a good ending.

You are very good for your age.
