  • Kennmalc, is there exercises to make my embouchure better? My buzzing is weak. I can't get the G, high E, and even high C. Please help.

  • @Huskyowner2007

    Do what I said about the silent whistle, but start inserting your tongue with the whistle;this is how the buzzing starts. Experiment with your airstream It may take time, but I'm sure you'll get it right (your sound).

  • @Huskyowner2007 Whistling. It strengthens the muscles as you hone you whistle to a silent whistle and then (slipping in the tounge) becoming the "buzz". Don't be impatient.

  • At this point, remember the old NY joke:

    "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice practice!"

    Don't be impatient with yourself.

  • @Kennmalc Thanks I have been training my embouchure with a pencil exercise. I'll try your way too. But can you show an example with a video post? What do you mean by silent whistle? Is it like buzzing? It's hard. I thought I got it but when I play it I can't hold a tone like a open C transferring it to an open G. Do you think it's something wrong the valve?

  • @Huskyowner2007

    P.S. Once you got this under control, there's no note you shouldn't be able to play, high or low.

  • @Huskyowner2007 Try the silent whistle. This is where you hone your whistling airstream( outward whistle and no fingers, ha ha) and then take it up a notch to work for a clear, neat ,

    practically soundless airstream (controlling it similar to a water hose stream). Once that is achieved, you can control your sounds (notes) with or without the mouthpiece (sans trumpet).

    Then transfer this skill through the mouthpiece and then the trumpet and you'll soon be surprised at "your" sound.
