LEARN Difficult Passages on Trumpet with THIS Approach

[@judithmorgan6070]

I’m relatively new to the Venetian cornett - great tip to relax and let the body work it out. Hope it works for learning double tonguing. Getting there slowly, which is not quite what is required!!

Thanks for checking out my video and commenting! When I was learning multiple tonguing, it took quite a bit for me to get the coordination. I struggled with it! Letting your body (or your tongue) figure it out, though......this idea should work that doing, too. Good luck with getting it! I'm sure you will. :-)

Agreed. I think its a dexterity thing especially with the A/G/F# fingering. I have similar issue. Frustrating i know. Could you isolate the fingers by moving that run up to a middle G to maintain the same fingering in a easier register? Thanks again for sharing your journey and being so real in your struggles! It helps us/me to know im not alone in the challenges.

The fingering challenge is definitely part of it and taking it up the octave is a great idea. I'll take things up or down depending on what it is. Also going back & forth between A and G by themselves, tonguing and slurring to strengthen the 3rd finger. And then add back in the F#. I think for me the biggest challenge is still playing the low F# with a nice tone and tonguing it at the speed that piece goes at. My F# still doesn't sound great! ...... Thanks for watching the video and sharing your thoughts here. And you definitely have company with dealing with these challenging things! That's something I'm seeing in the comments of my videos and I think is great! We're not the only one. :-)
