@@klaytonhilleary6157 That seems normal. Notice there aren’t time signatures or key signatures in Systematic Approach like other CG books. That is on purpose. Don’t use a metronome on SA. You might have to go slower when down in the pedals or up around double high c. The point is accuracy and taking your time to feel tongue level and the coordination of wind power. Take a listen to all the free audio of Claude Gordon on my site. The “Wind Power” lectures have various CG students playing different range studies so you can get a real idea of the tempo and rest between each key. This page has a list of all the audio with tags for various topics. You can also search my entire site at the top of the page. www.purtle.com/claude-gordon-archives

@virginiamorenodiaz1702 go ask an experienced repairman. It’s pretty normal to do.

Thanks for the response. I wish you the best with trumpet but your comment is a bit ill informed. The trumpet can’t rust because rust is ferrous oxide from iron. Copper and brass corrode but never rust. If you own a trumpet you should be cleaning it every couple weeks and would know from experience the value of that. Some of my trumpets have been cleaned this way for 40 or 50 years or more and it perfect condition. This was meant to be a very fast overview. You seem to have missed many of the other items in the video. Take a look at the description field for more helpful info. Please subscribe for trumpet info. Best wishes!

@ i meant corrode, couldn’t remember the word so i just put rust without thinking

Awesome, thank you! Please what them with others. It’s my goal to help others and hopefully eventually generate enough ad revenue from KZbin to continuously fund the hosting of my site and all the content about my teacher, Claude Gordon, and his teacher, Herbert L. Clarke. I did this video to be for anyone trying to teach online. There are so many cool new ways to teach online more effectively but you have to rethink the process. I hope this video encourages that and others share in the comments here what they have done or want to do to expand this mode of communication.

@@explodingsausage6576 I have personally played low and changed it. I know how both ways work and can play with it placed low and can demo why it is better higher. You might place it lower a d have not experienced the difference. I, like Claude Gordon, have changed lots of people to a higher placement. It’s not fun to go through but worth the time to do it. There are pros that have also done that.

@@JeffPurtle Again, you know absolutely nothing about embouchure. Low placement is dictated by teeth and lips. If you were teaching Wynton, Derek Watkins, Kai Winding, Don Lusher, etc., you would have changed their placement to be top lip dominant and ruined all of them... Case closed. You shouldn't be anywhere near a student.

@@explodingsausage6576 You obviously missed the greater context. I mention that as one of the possible causes. Of course those you mention play great. You must put this issue in the greater context of the 7 items listed by Herbert L. Clarke and elaborated and systematized by Claude Gordon. I don't know you because of your pseudoname and handle. You can see the results my students have achieved and Claude's testimonials also on my site. These KZbin Shorts are meant to be just a brief teaser of something longer to explain and address with actual practice routines, working systematically through books. Just placing the mouthpiece in a different position or changing another item won't help unless you practice a smart routine a different way to change habits. You might not know that there have been other pros that changed their embouchure even in the middle of a successful career. Here's Claude Gordon talking about this topic in a longer format and mentioning one of his students that was Zig Kanstul's son. I'm sure you know of Kanstul but there were so many others like Tom Holden and others that also made drastic changes that resulted in long term results. Thanks for your comment and I wish you lots of success in your future. www.purtle.com/audio/claude-gordon-brass-camp-1992-claude-gordon-embouchure-mouthpieces-and-equipment

​@@JeffPurtle "You obviously missed the greater context." Don't patronise me. You said "playing with the mouthpiece too low," limits someone's capacity as a player, but there are thousands and thousands of top quality players who demonstrate the falseness of that claim. A smart routine won't do anything for you if you're playing with an embouchure which is formed counter to what your anatomy needs. You and Claude judge embouchures on how they look, not how they sound, which is nonsensical and ridiculous. You claim to have taught a few students you've "changed" and that it's worked well, but let me tell you there are thousands of brass players out there who are upstream players who had their chops changed to downstream thanks to a "chop specialist" who can either no longer play, or play to a fraction of their ability. Mouthpiece placement is dictated by anatomy, that's just the way it is; following dogmatic trumpet methodologies from the 1950s is not the way forward.

Write me directly from my website and it should also send you my number as a quick acknowledgement of your email. We can talk all the details on the phone or FaceTime or Skype. I’m in Greenville, South Carolina and on the same time zone as New York and Atlanta.

Very cool. I didn’t know that about you. After college I actually bought a book called “Teach Yourself C in 21 Days” because a trumpet friend had done that with his brother. They later created a company and he’s sailing around the world now. I just wanted to do it to undergone it works and play with it all. When he was hiring he told me he hired musicians because those coming out of college with degrees and no experience were worthless. I think musicians tend to think differently and grasp these concepts easier. I have some fun things planned with AI. It’s great to hear from you. Your site was one I remember for a very long time. Thanks for your kind worlds.

That’s right in Skype.

Thanks a bunch! I hope this helps others.

@@JeffPurtle Well I certainly learnt a lot about AV production. Good skills to have these days

Big Breath. ❤

Cleaning the threads on the top and bottom of the valve casings and inside the top third of each valve casing where there is typically a ledge where the valve guides are. Sometimes slime gets into that ledge. I also use it in the bottom valve caps.

Thank you for chiming in? See all the other responses? Thanks again! This was meant to be a very quick video to show various steps.

Do you play trumpet? How old are you? You have 1 subscriber and look like you are 10 with NO video or pictures or mention of a trumpet. Get a trumpet and a private teacher and have fun.

@@JeffPurtlethat wasnt being nice

@@bewug go look at my other videos that are all about trumpet practice and work with pros and players of any level. This video has more hits and comments from people that have little experience playing. Take a look at the other videos.

I’m not sure what 2 hours you are talking about?

Where are you located? There was a bass trombone player in Los Angeles in the 1980s named Dimitri Popodoplos that had a big band. Write me direct through my site and I might have some ideas of how to get the actual score and parts.

​@@JeffPurtle I'm from New Zealand and i'm only 16 so sadly not the same Dimitrios Popodopolos but funny coincidence haha. Ive sent you an email via your website did you get it? Thanks for the response I appreciate it

@popodopolos507 I didn’t see an email come in. Did you go to www.purtle.com/contact

I created a tag on my site for Frank. He’s in the audience for all of the Claude Gordon lectures but is more audible on the ones tagged and a recital or two is online. It’s all free to listen with an account. www.purtle.com/frank-kaderabek

Do you play trumpet? For how long?

I think I covered that. I know I did in my longer conference videos. There are some great examples and demos in the CG Archives on my site. www.purtle.com/claude-gordon-archives

Hey! Thanks. That $5800 new MBP finally got put to good work. I learned a few more things with this video in retiming clips and using the audio overdub in FCP to do the audio after the video and pictures were sort of put in a timeline.

Also don’t soak the valves fully

How long have you played trumpet? How many hours a day do you practice? How often do you clean your trumpets?

3 years and if you soak them fully the corks will soak like a sponge and it’s not gonna work well and I clean my trumpet not to often

Metal snakes will hurt a trumpet and it was from a professional trumpet repairman

@Fun_vr get some private lessons with a good teacher. You probably don’t have cork in your pads. It is likely felt for the inside tops of the valve stem and rubber or maybe felt for top of the caps that go on the valve casing. The Bob Reeves alignments use a different material. I just replaced the pads on my main Bb trumpet that I play about 8 hours a day and they were only minimally off after 8 years of constant use. You have only played 3 years. There are so many more important things you should focus on. Clean your trumpet once a week or maybe every two weeks. Waiting longer damages your horn from the rotting slime and food particles mixed with your saliva inside the dark tubing. Lots of nasty stuff grows that is far more of an issue than anything else.

Amazing player with a brilliant mind.

I will have to talk to Keith about that sometime. Colin, Claude Gordon, Irons, Staigers, Bai Lin and others also use that Bb open. Colin #14 has High F# open that is almost ¼ step flat. Smith uses notes like that I. The glissando and lip trill sections. Lots of fun stuff.

Hey Dan! You have to look on my site and listen to a bunch of tracks I paid to be restored and transferred. There are tracks never released but were played on the radio. They were on 16 inch LPs and I guess that was used for radio. I have tons of free audio on my site of Claude for anyone to listen to with a free account. www.purtle.com/claude-gordon-archives

Look at the stuff on my site and videos. Striking the valves hard and lifting your fingers high is very important and do a complete routine that improves flexibility and range and response. You might be surprised how much that matters. Never play too soft. All notes need to respond securely.

Thanks! Please share it with others. I have another batch of videos to post. Another will be of Rich too.

Definitely all brass instruments. KTM isn’t described many places. There are a couple trombone and tuba books that mention it.

Thanks! Please share the KZbin videos and links to my site as much as possible.

I would have to look it up. He and Malcolm McNab each have played around 2500 movies. I’m sure they both have played the episodes and probably the theme.

Great player! Have you read this book yet?

What’s your new single? I bet it’s great. Please share this video. Glad to have captured some of who Lee is and how he got where he is now. Cool guy.

Please share it with others.

Both are great players.

Thanks! Please share these videos with others.

Thanks! I’m sorry I missed you at ITG.

I wished I could have made it this year..! Next year for sure!!! Looking forward!! Thanks Jeff
