Trumpet Momentum Volume 1 - How to play high notes

[@daddio6129]

This is life changing. All the books, videos, lectures etc. on success are boiled down in your straight forward distillation here. Brilliant! Thank you.

[@harrelsontrumpets]

You can take lessons with Jason with our Trumpet Momentum Subscription Series of videos here on KZbin. Visit www.whyharrelson.com/trumpet-momentum.html to sign up.

So helpful! Been looking for something like this for a while! Automatically after incorporating these ideas I gained another four notes above what I could previously play!!!

[@pebblebeach8517]

Gifted teacher listen and learn ....this is your opportunity

[@douglasjrhodes]

Potentially a life changing video, no joke! The best explanation that I have ever seen on this topic, one that finally makes sense in all areas. I love how you have correlated this to lessons in life using physics and personal experience. Actually, one of the best KZbin videos that I have ever seen, PERIOD!

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Tangotails thank you

[@donstallard7433]

What an inspirational video!

[@loganwhittington4817]

Very insightful Jason! I think it's wonderful that you're teaching in a way that combines life lessons with trumpet lessons, and I think that's often a concept that is often left out of music education. It's a shame, really, because I feel that this type of deep understanding of the way the "real" world coincides with music. Keep it up!

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Thanks Logan, learning trumpet is like learning anything. The principles are universal and sharing life experiences helps us see the relationships between variables and outcomes. I appreciate your feedback.

[@sebastianmiceli]

TOTALY AGREE! But also agree that the note start in your brain. Think about it... you start vibrating your mind and you resonate that with your body... Thas why the very hi notes, you can move it only with your mind (almost no air) like telepathy 🙊😃!! By the way, good name MOMENTUM!

[@carloscenteno59]

Your my new hero Jason. You are inspiration to me and I bet many other people. Thank you for sharing that about your personal life which explains a lot of things to me as a fan and especially as a client. Your 10 minute video just changed my attitude on patients. Thank you Jason! Best wishes to your health and company.

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Hi Carlos, I appreciate your kind comments.

[@clemensmuller4794]

Dear Jason, as a fellow science enthusiast and trumpet player I recommend that you read and watch Malte Burbas `brass master class'. It's the ultimate book for brass players who have struggled and overcome obstacles and offers the most logical and scientific approach to brass playing ever. With love

[@peairs1066]

Thanks for this clear cut direction. I had a somewhat similar mental event - hepatic encephalopathy - causing a loss of ability to form sentences, concentrate etc, from which, fortunately, a new med cured me. But I've had to relearn alot. That includes trumpet playing. What you're saying makes very good sense to me. Thanks.

[@harrelsontrumpets]

I'm happy to hear you are doing better!

[@KenNorbury]

Great stuff Jason. Really inspirational. People who talk of "luck" and stuff should realise it's all down to physics - understand the physics and you're most of the way there. Agree with your comments about teachers. Most great players I've looked to for guidance don't know how they do what they do, which is kind of counter to the physics argument, but they've definitely been not very forthcoming with useful knowledge. Of course this applies whether you're a trumpet player or an athlete. Love the trumpet in the video. Looks fantastic as well as obviously incorporating so much of your learning. Keep them coming!

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Thanks Ken :)

[@joelpereira2299]

Bravo! Absolutely correct!

[@CaptainJazz262]

You’re an inspiration to me, Jason. Thank you so much!!!!

[@harrelsontrumpets]

thanks

[@pauldance7387]

So smart sir, I love your company and philosophy.

[@jeffreycamaclang5919]

I hope to have that horn someday . . . I really really like it . . .

[@c.thompson6638]

WOW! You opened up a whole new way of thinking about playing high notes for me. It seems Zen-like. I am going to give this a try. Thanks for the therapy session. Now, how can I repay you?

[@sliestfriend2858]

I have been having some embouchure problems. Do you have any advice you could give me?

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Yes, I have dozens of videos addressing embouchure issues.

[@sliestfriend2858]

Harrelson Trumpets can you link me some of those videos

[@armandogiordano1226]

Hi Jason, you are a fantastic person and a wonderful, brilliant mind. Anyway, isn't "air speed" in itself related firstly with loudness on the same pitch?

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Thank you Armando, I appreciate your kind words. Air speed is often confused with Air volume. Volume changes with loudness (dynamics) whereas speed is a constant on one specific pitch. I'll explain more in my next video.

[@aidanmsf7596]

How do you play the extremely high notes easily? I can get up to high c easily but after there I start having problems. Do you use the Reinhardt tilt?

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Watch my videos on Trumpet Momentum

[@trumpetval]

Hi Jason! You re a great man! And you re absolutely right in what you are saing!!! I live in Russia.play and teach trumpet. I say pretty much the same things to my students! And also you build great trumpets. Well- they look great! Unfortunately there is now chance to play and try it out in place where I live((

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Thank you 👍

[@erikandreasbonde551]

Hello Mr. Harrelson. True inspiration from you. Some trumpeters say, that fast air is louder notes, and compressed air is higher pitch, how does that fit into your way of understanding physics? It is also said that the vibrating surface does not change throughout range... How is that possible? Sincerely Erik

[@harrelsontrumpets]

The vibrating surface does change. Fast air does not produce more dynamic volume. Increasing dynamic volume requires a higher wave amplitude. This means more energy in the wave form, which is achieved by increasing air FLOW. This is not my way of understanding physics. The physics fundamentals I share were taught to me by a brass acoustics scientist at Yamaha. We worked through the book, "The Science of Sound" by T. Rossing.

[@golfprochen]

Can't agree more. Thanks a lot, again!

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Thanks for watching!

[@josephfunk6143]

Hi Jason! Would you be able to explain what you meant when you lost your memory? What happened? Sorry if this is personal.

[@harrelsontrumpets]

This is public knowledge. I suffered numerous strokes and heart attacks. The last one erased my memory completely. You can read more on my blogs at www.whyharrelson.com and www.harrelsonmomentum.com

[@itswitzmoab]

What happened four years ago that you had to relearn everything???

[@harrelsontrumpets]

I have suffered dozens of strokes.

[@morganrees6719]

Hi Jason I was wondering what trumpet you are using

[@harrelsontrumpets]

This is the VPS Summit Vines trumpet.

[@ultramanxk7]

Wow, this guy is trumpet version of kung fu, I like his trumpet principles.

[@elkiweee8602]

amazing story!

[@harrelsontrumpets]

:)

[@charlestom3873]

when you relearned trumpet did you still have muscle memory from playing earlier in your life?

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Yes, but only on the right side of my body. I had to re-learn the left side.

[@sci8]

Damn. That must have been weird.

[@briancusworth]

Fantastic. I had a stroke 12 years ago and I can really relate to this. Thank you

[@MultiSahil2010]

I want to learn

[@МихаилМеренков-у8х]

А поиграть???

[@bobgreen1236]

CRAZY looking horn!

[@harrelsontrumpets]

bob green the new guy 😃

[@MultiSahil2010]

wow

[@JeanWJoseph]

9:06 Major Key!

[@tooter1able]

What's amazing about you Jason---aside from your obvious broad knowledge=----is that have never ever seen you.....blink!

[@harrelsontrumpets]

that's hilarious!

[@377559]

He says you must gain as much "momentum" as possible and reduce as much "drag" as possible. I have been playing brass for 40 years, and was hoping he would tell us. But I watched this video several times and still have no idea what he is talking about. What is "momentum" and what is "drag" in the context of playing a brass instrument? I was hoping he would tell us, but there were just words. The only useful bit of information was regarding the speed of the air and the opening of the lips. But this is already well-known stuff among brass players - at the least the ones that I know.

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Did you watch all the videos in the series???

[@graceholloway5477]

Momentum means your goals and drag basically means anything that is not your goal/ is distracting you from your goal jerkwad he actually did explain in the video

[@jorgenapoles8257]

Love it gratis explanation any email that xna i reach u thanks
