Expanding your Scales on the Trumpet

[@chetheflin7447]

Oh my gosh. That drone works! I can compare your intervals with the drone and can hear how you are able to center your tone and pitch on each note, playing so beautifully in tune. It makes scale/interval exercises sound like music, like a song. What a great tool. Thanks for sharing!

Very cool...like the lip bends too. What a great way to practice improvising and improve your sound, range and flexibility at the same time.

Where can I find drone tones?

[@ariah5093]

They should interview different style type musicians/teachers. Like classical or orchestral musicians. I want to see how they go about playing on stage and their daily technique to achieve that. I'm so inspired right now watching these. thank you!

How can I sustain a note on the upper register without cracking my tone?

[@JohnsonSmithson]

Strong air, strong embouchure and don't use too much pressure

[@Onlinepersonality212]

You can't, it's impossible

Thanks a lot. Nevertheless I would like you to help me out (Because I know you can) on how to increase my range on G. I've been playing the trumpet for not less than 6 years now but as I speak, I've not been able to play a third note on G in the upper register. Please help.

Play "Caruso's six notes" every day before you practice. Immediately after this exercise, rest for 15 minutes before playing anything else. Make sure you do not play too much. The second you start to strain to hit a high note, you are compromise your embouchure. Play chromatically up as high as you can WITHOUT STRAINING. You should be able to play higher notes with the same effort that it takes to play lower notes, so keep this idea in mind. If you are straining to play a higher note, you are not yet ready to play that note, but it will come eventually. So play chromatically up to the highest note you can play without straining, and then rest for 30 seconds. Then repeat this probably 5 times, and then rest for 10 minutes. This should be the only set of exercises you do that strains your chops. After these exercises, work on other ones in your current playable range, and remember to ALWAYS play softly. The Clarke studies stress this a lot.
