Daniel gerona casually interviewing gems.

Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. Play no thoughtless notes whenever I pick up the horn. My mind’s ear plays every note first, determining how I will sound before I even breathe. From first to last note of every warm-up, practice, rehearsal and performance, first know in my mind’s ear how I intend to sound. Then focus to play only with that intention. I compel energetic air to pass through my vibrating lips so those vibrations resonate (match the frequency) of the horn’s vibrating metal. Tension anywhere in my body - and most especially in my face and neck and chest - is unnecessary and even detrimental. When I practice intentionally by harnessing my mind’s ear, I can improve more in an hour than I ever imagined was possible.

Hey do u still live in Lubeck?

Per is a monster player!!

This is so on the money. The uninterrupted air flow / blowing forward (lock and blow) concept resonates with me. When I'm playing in this fashion I am amazed at how much easier everything is. Stamp exercise 4b is my personal barometer for whether or not I'm playing properly. If there's minimal glitches from pedal c to high c then I know I'm on the right track.

I tried this sequence about 2 years ago but eventually lost patience and discipline at around ~175 bpm. Not too long after that I did a heavy recording sesh and took like 3 weeks off after that and when I came back I noticed my flexibility felt better than before. I could play decent lip trills in my own practice. However, never up to the standard of playing them in a live musical setting. Now that I actually am going to have to play them in real time I’ve come back to this video. Thank God for Joey Tartell.

Trumpet. Good.

I don’t understand the buzzing in trumpet😭😭

Hello Daniel, I’m reaching out to send thanks for this and your entire series. We probably all know what a “lightbulb” moment feels like, and this was one of those for me! Continued gratitude 🙏

Jordi, your curiosity generosity and bravery are amazing. Thank you so much for taking this crazy journey and sharing it with the rest of us!

Which trumpet is that one? I’m curious

Dog!

This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

Stamp??? Never heard of it! I am going to check ✔️ it out

What a beautiful even tone throughout the horn registers to die for 🎺😍

Yeah, but how exactly do you do lip trills? What do you do with your tongue? Your lips? The mouthpiece position on the lips? How are they done? Your lip trills are excellent, but there's nothing here at all on how to do them.

Wow gosh damn!!!! This was filled with cosmic jewels! Litteraly blew my whole approach away

VERY NICE VIDEO... ---- DEAR FRIENDS... THIS IS MY NEW ALBUM----- DIRCEU BRAZ TRUMPET----- - FLYING TO PARADISE ! ------ Blues for Luna ------- Blues for Luna -------- kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4u6qKiwlq6snbs...

Still love this! Not just the piece but also the playing.

Where did you buy that leather jacket in Florence?

I have to play this for orchestral audition.

Thanks for this video. It really helps knowing other people do the exact thing I do when I get frustrated at my music. I was just working on Petrouchka earlier and did just about every one of these. You sound amazing btw

Hi, did you have any problems with the dialect? I'm moving because of work and I heard there's differences between cities. Cheers from Buenos Aires.

Sick intro!!

Joey what type of metronome do you use as it seems very loud- which I like. Thanks

kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3mXoZ9uq7Zsg7c at 1.55....thats shake😃 But, Joey.... You got great tone, really good atriculation too... Come to Denmark one time🎺🎺🎺

Also on intervals......Claude Gordon was right. Kick the top notes a little louder than the bottoms. This makes the intervals feel closer together. Let the air speed do the work not your lips moving up/down.

"Lip trill" is kind of a misnomer. It's really a tongue trill. Years ago I started with Arban's p.42 did the whole section about a year or so with my teacher. Then graduated to the Colin Lip Flexibilities. One thing about the Arban's section is since it's kind of low the partials are further apart, but it's good training for the easier higher partials which are closer together.

Are you filipino?

7:36 Haydn's trumpet concerto I see xD

I'm the first person to press the like button in this video where's all the 2K people

Are u gay

Wiggly fingers "falls" at 7.30. NEVER do that!

This warm up looks amazing. David s tone is one of the best ever. What an ease across the whole range

7:12 5:00

Good English Pastor, thanks for sharing your knowledge 🎅👏👏👍👌

Genius

11:16 just great !

I've never seen a video with no dislikes, well done.

Claude Gordon was right. Kick the top notes louder than the bottoms, which makes the intervals feel smaller or closer together. The other way we end up moving lips up/down to hit the notes making the intervals feel further apart.

Thank you

To paraphrase Roy Stevens you keep the teeth aperture the same as you use air to blow in the upper partial and then you trill down to the lower note instead of forcing in the upper note by closing the teeth.

Jordi Albert is a genious TEACHER!!!!

How to get shakes when playing 4th parts where the partials are a lot further apart

Awesome video. Thanks for posting. Why would the chops be vibrating an octave below when removing the mouthpiece?
