  • Your Taking Too Long A Breath

  • @Panospanos20 I didn't think it was that long, but thanks for your opinion

  • I would also work on your posture.. If you stand as if you have a 2 by 4 nailed to your back everything will improve. Also, (and I have worked on this with many of my trumpet students) your neck being crooked works just like when you bend a water hose. It impairs the airflow giving a pinched tone and making everything harder.. Work on keeping your neck and back straight.. Sounded good though!

  • @dcouncill Thanks for your comment. This is from last summer and I think my posture is better now. I had a great time playing at a Minnesota Twins baseball game on July 6th. It was so fun!

  • Good stuff,David! I'd go with the original ending. Also, you might want to try keeping your right thumb under the leadpipe and between the first and second valves, and get that pinky out of the hook. Try that and see how it feels.

  • @jaztrumpet Thanks for your comment. I did this last summer and I now play better and with the proper hand position!

    Thanks :)

  • good for your age, but where you were taking breaths is too noticeable and you're not supposed to take breaths there. So a word of advice, try and sneak them in without any notice and you'll be great. (: Anyways, still a good job!

  • Good for your age, but pride yourself on youtube, that is very naive. And also the title of this video. When someone write "Incredible" i think of something amazing, wonderful. But that is not this video. Not bad, but nothing unusual. Bye.

  • @TheDrhotdog no he yells at all the other trumpets . he yells at me to play louder and to actually bring my instrument to class. also the tips i gave this person are the first things i learned in band class. i always put the third slide out on D and i never have my little finger in the ring

  • @Missfishy500 haha what do you know, mr.pruitt yells at you everyday for WHAT you do, get it right and then you can criticize others. haha just kidding

  • WOW! AMAZING! here is a tip though, don't put your little finger in the ring cause u are pressing your trumpet to hard against your lips. also push third slide out when playing D or it will b really sharp

  • good job 

  • kid that was cool. 

  • This was good, but I've played it an octave higher, keep practicing

  • Im not gana lie this was actualy preetty good!.

    Tryto go form the nd of the c to the high c if u know wat i mean abt it
