Jazz Trumpet Solo on "All The Things You Are"

[@davideb4258]

Nice! Silly question: the keys written there (F, G7...) are for trumpet or for piano? (in short: as a trumpet player, do I have to transpose them to Bb, or are they already fine like this?)

[@JeffLewisTrumpet]

No need to transpose. They are in trumpet key. And, not a silly question! Thank you for checking it out.

I have a question regarding embouchure. I have been practicing the trumpet with no progress gotten yet. I’ve been playing for 3 years. How do you roll in lips without any lip over teeth.

[@JeffLewisTrumpet]

Sorry to hear that! Can you tell me more about what you mean by “without lip over teeth”? Also, rolling in is not for everyone.

@@JeffLewisTrumpet this issue has been going on for 3 years. I’d say I am preforming at professional level but I need some correction. The question is when you roll in your lips how do you get it to not overlap your teeth. Do I use my tongue to push it away so it does not over lap the teeth?

@@JeffLewisTrumpet no response Jeff?

[@JeffLewisTrumpet]

⁠ I would try subtle micro adjustments. Perhaps try not rolling in and see what happens or maybe adjusting your jaw position. See if that helps.
