Arturo Sandoval - Range and Fundamentals Master Class Video

[@tobydouglas1410]

When Sandoval said he didn't like shortcuts you could almost see the real book romance crushed in Paul's eyes

[@daisyiris]

as a trumpet player this was very helpful

[@johndooley9940]

To save you all time: Paul: How do you get the really freakin' high notes? Arturo: Preparation. *starts playing trumpet player porn.

[@jasoncostello1535]

I love this man, has such a great philosophy about how to really become great. Hard work. No shortcuts, no instant mastery, just consistent hard work and discipline

[@c1tylimits]

This is excellent Paul. As an interviewer you have done an excellent job in bringing out Arturo's enthusiasm and pearls of wisdom.

Love it. 😂

[@allenmartin2342]

This is the first I have seen this video . After watching Arturo for many years, I have always known there is something unique and an absolute master of the trumpet, but this video is not only about music, technique, work. ethic , and philosophy in attaining his level of talent. I see it also gives a view into who he is as a person. His philosophy is also about how to live life. "Be prepared", I love this and would really love a chance to see him in person for a concert.

[@suonatoregioioso4472]

2:57 Two octaves below F# ! that converts the trumpet into a double bass ! Amazing.

Once again, you did your "Paul The Trombonist" thing. You BROUGHT it: clarity, inspiration, and preached gritty hard work, all in the same short video!! I was so glad I subscribed and met you Paul. Hats off to Arturo Sandoval. Great video and content as always.

Legend has it that Arturo had Claude Gordon's books smuggled into Cuba. I had a meeting with Claude before he passed, provided by Bruce Haag when I was studying with him. I was the only trombonist in the studio and Bruce wanted us to meet. Understanding the correct way to articulate changed my playing with monstrous power and range.

[@deadeyenumber2892]

I always was a person of short cuts and would get bored of practicing every now and then. I see the only way to truly perform and get even better than i am is to concentrate and focus on the basics. I admit I pick and choose different exercises in my Arbans book, but I never fully finish a topic before getting bored of it. Thank you Paul and Artoro, now I know what to work on.

Saw Arturo in concert at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Hall. Like a pro, he made the very difficult look easy. But behind the scenes, as he shares here, It is the result of dedication and a lot hard work.

[@erikandreasbonde551]

"I AM a product of dedikation and descipline." . It does work to practice! Does this not induce will to practice? 👍☺️

[@AutumnHaunts]

It really does come with time. I played for five years and played very high notes but not until several years in. I stopped playing for over a decade and now I’m starting from scratch 💔

[@Trombonistification]

this video changed my life

[@denysquinteromusica]

Excelente contribucion... Gracias gracias gracias maestro Sandoval y Sr Paul... bendiciones!

[@mossimmo1271]

Clifford Brown according to Arturo "want to know who Cliff Brown`s hero was....Rafael Mendez". My own sentiments too. There Is no trumpet player past or present regardless of genre that leaves me with a feeling of awe well after he has stopped playing and that Mendez is in a divine realm that others visit but not occupy. As a musician Rafael a genius and as a trumpet player untouchable.

[@daveundconnie1]

I will second that, Rafael Mendez was incredible and still stands up today, although he was untouchable in his day, I would not say he is untouchable as a trumpet player today because no doubt Arturo and a few others can play pretty much anything.

[@freetidjane]

I totally agree. Rafael Mendez is like Jascha Heifetz for the violin. Perfect mastering of the instrument.

[@gigelpasat7239]

[@rubenproost2552]

Pedals are found on a (pipe) organ to play the sub bass notes. As such, I think it's a fair name.

[@tycurtin7565]

He's a legend. No doubt. Most legends, however, are not really the best teachers. Many times they don't understand the mechanics of what they are really doing to make the sound. Take Maynard Ferguson for example. He never could teach his son to do what he did.

I tried play8ng trumpet for two years would not even reach G just above stave so I stopped completely. Trying to restart sometime with correct embochure

[@jeffmckeown9639]

I bought a pocket trumpet to be a fun gimmick to whip out for a band my wife is in...I haven't played in 25 years. I'm now immersed in practicing now that I realize my embouchure was wrong my whole life. I was never any good but I'm getting more serious about "if you're going to do it, do it right." Do the best that I can. This interview is highly influential. Love this guy.

[@over50fitnessinstructor15]

Arban Arban Yes

[@karlrovey]

With Arban, it's easy to rush through the first studies, but I've come to the conclusion that it should take at least a year to get through the first studies properly.

[@Puceter]

As much as I love Arturo I have to call bullshit on not practicing high notes! I agree if you can play everything in the Arban the range will come but his super range has to be practiced! The pitch, the notes you have to hear them in your head! So that you can hit them in the middle of intonation! Tonguing in that super range is tougher and has to be practice!

[@bd1845]

I don’t think he quite said that. He said he never ‘worked’ on high notes. Doesn’t say he never built it in with all the other things in his practice, flexibility, articulation and sound and of course his low notes. I heard him on another video that playing the pedal notes also did not help with the high register as the concept is totally different. I heard Jon Faddis would get Arban exercises and take them up an octave. Just don’t think Arturo ever did or does that.

[@Puceter]

@@bd1845 I think he is not being frank or there is a communication issue there! Like I said if you don't work on the high notes by hearing them, tonguing i that range etc you will never be too accurate with them! Yes, strenghening your chops is the best approach but think about it, what trumpet player do you know that would say they never practiced high notes? lol Im calling BS on that hahah

[@bd1845]

@@Puceter again with respect he never said he never practiced them. He said he never ‘worked’ on them. He didn’t devote what clearly mainly trumpet players do and spend hours smashing their chops apart trying to make the very high register come out. He worked out with a lot of practice what works for him through everything he had learned from the books. Bergeron has said the high register came for him very easily. So do you think Wayne never had to practice because they were easier for him? I met Arturo a few times and I do get it it’s what he always gets asked. There is a video he does with Bergeron where for him the position of the tongue (arched) works for him. I never ever got the impression from this video or anywhere he has never practiced playing high.

[@ER1CwC]

I’m not a trumpeter, but I am a singer. I think the principles he advocates for here are exactly the same as the principles a good vocal teacher would promote. If you want to expand your range and to have good high notes, you need to get middle range right first. If the middle range is aligned, then the top, as well as the bottom, will emerge naturally.

[@SynergyTappedHorn]

I agree with regards to flexibility and technique there’s no substitute for the work. Don’t agree regarding upper register development I’ve know hundreds of trumpet players that put in the work and they don’t own are indeed scared of a high D/E. The common factor in Bergeron, Nicholson, Dowdeswell, Faddis, etc is they naturally could play high notes. It’s physiological, the key is your pivot point/teeth topography. Lynn demonstrates that in current videos where he moves off his pivot or switches to a much larger mouthpiece and the notes don’t come out. Yes you have to use a proper air stream but the idea that mastering the upper register is like a great power lifter and it takes years to develop isn’t true. There’s too many examples of players that could do the equivalent of benching 400 lbs in the 7th grade. The idea of just pounding your face with years of practice leads a lot of folks to frustration and in some places quitting or just attributing what the other players can to do “freak chops”. I have a lot of experience with teeth and trumpet players and can tell you if you radically changed any of these great upper register players teeth, ie take away their pivot, they’d loose in some cases and octave or more. I’ve had to find a new pivot point at least five times since starting trumpet, Jerry Franks was a phenomenal player and educator that helped hundreds with his insights into the pivot/anchor point. I have buddies that went to him and literally in one day picked up an octave. If you don’t want to mess with your teeth then consider checking out Dr Dave’s work with the Wedge mouthpieces. It’s not magic, it’s physical.

[@odesanyaomotayo9153]

"The only thing to do to be safe is to be ready"..Thanks maestro

[@SlavicMaleChorus]

I saw his placement. He uses a lot less upper lip in the mouthpiece. "Pedal notes" the language of trumpet players world wide.

[@jwhill7]

Sig Sandoval is honest and sincere, but like most exceptional players, he really does not fully understand how he arrived at his level of playing. But you might notice, in this video, how unusually pliable and lean his lips are, almost rubbery. Some great players with very high range show very little outward movement of the facial muscles, but Sig Sandoval is quite the opposite. My conclusion: after seventy years of trumpet practice, I still don't really understand.

[@SammyBoe]

Don't smoke it decreases range.

[@brainsareus]

Cigars are not as bad as cigarettes

[@SammyBoe]

Still bad.

[@AComplexMex]

Thats his secret to high notes. He is relaxed becase of the cigar so he will be relaxed so his high notes come out. P.S. dis a joke

[@alebcay-]

He keeps dodging the question how to get high notes

[@yief3194]

He said there's nothing special to it. There are no tricks or shortcuts to developing range. Master the fundamentals of playing the trumpet and range will come naturally.

[@AComplexMex]

I would consider myself to having a natural high register but I practice my long tones to help increase and improve my range. It may seem dumb but it really works.

[@jerrykitich3318]

Just say no to high notes.
