Hi, I’m about to start marching band next coming school year. If you haven’t done marching band that’s fine but if you have do you have any tips? I play trumpet btw

My nephew plays the cornet and loves it. He is 11 and it's the perfect size for him.

My trumpet made a click sound and the valves are in the correct slot, however. it still isn't making sound at all. What do I do?

Great video.

It's been about 12 years since I put the horn down, with 50 years of playing, I'm ready to get going. Great tips on getting restarted. Thank you!

I sound more like an elephant.

My chops are covered in that dust!

Love your story about your first live listens, and I think that book is one of the best (my teacher was married to Arban, so I came to VC later in life). Sandoval often says thexsiund is not in the trumpet, it is in your head. Maybe your heart, but that splits anatomical hairs. The point is so important, thank you for a fresh perspective.

yep yep and mo yep

Thank you for this interview and the optimism it’s given my son and I. He is only 13 and trumpet has been his joy, he fell and knocked out top three front teeth. He wants to play so badly and get back to it.Thank you for this

Wise words Chris. 57 now playing since age ten. Agree with everything you say. Thanks, from the UK.😊

long time no see. hope you are well. good lesson

Inspiring!

Muito boa sabedoria! 🎺Obrigado muito!

Great to learn about slurring from this video, hope to have videos on slurring & buzzing on major / minor scales.

Wow, how can I explain it? This is the most organic , down to earth advice I have ever heard from a teacher. He does understand that life happens to everyone, and most of the time, we students get discouraged because of it. I am no longer going to force myself to sound like Miles Davis. Thank you for the inspiration, sir. ❤🎶🎺🙏🏻

It's said that more heads are better than one. Together we can cover more ground and discover much more. I've listened to versions of tunes that I liked better than others. I imitated the phrasing, tempo, etc. Yet, I never obsessed with playing it exactly like another artist.

Very well said, thank you.

I was worried you were going to say that if my sound isn't so great that I must have a bad soul! Your videos motivate me to practice more (and more efficiently).

Have taken private lessons and group classes with Chris over the years. This is the real deal for improving on trumpet! Currently involved with his Comeback Trumpet Player workshop.

Great video Chris.❤

My cousin used to play the trumpet, we were around 10 years old, so I took it and not only I managed to make a sound but I got C major in 2 minutes. May be it was cause I already played the piano for 5 years then and I understood how this sound is made somehow... :). Now 30 years later I wanna buy a trumpet and drive my neighbors crazy :D

Came for the H1N, stayed for the sympathy and of course the funny bloopers. Thank you for this video brother ✌

Thank you for all your videos.

Great video Chris, good practice =good performance

Awesome video Chris! I will watch this with my students.

My mantra was have fun and really pull out the stops and sell it! You have one shot at it when you are on stage!

Thanks so much for this video. All of it was great, but I especially needed that part near the end about comparing yourself to others, etc. That's going to help my playing and a few others things, too. Thank you!

Great video Chris this video was very helpful!

Pearls of wisdom!

6:58 AKA finessing a wrong note into a right note 😉

4:51 interesting... what is your reasoning behind mixolydian relevance for trumpet?

2:53 as a guitar main i always do this when learning a new song... but i never realized i could use this when learning a new song on something else... thanks dude

0:00 but yo why do you start with the pinky in the no no spot then u remove it... but then you slot it right back in there lol

My husband has been almost 30 years post college playing, he was an Fhorn and Mellophone player, but these tips work for that, too.

For using it with an Apple adapter (as mentioned @ 4:20) to video record with a smart phone, how does that work? Does it just use the better zoom mics and send that signal to the phone via usb while making a video or are they two distinct recordings that need to be synchronized later? Thanks

Awesome 🎉great video mate 👍🏽😎✈️

Could you teach us on Double and Triple Tonguing...Thanks Much

Thanks for this interview Chris

I read that Chet Baker lost his teeth and had to learn how to play again by adapting
