Marcus Printup & Adam Rapa - Superhero Posture

It was great reconnecting with Marcus Printup at ITG! Aside from some playing-testing, I showed him what I feel are the most important points for improving your posture, reducing bodily tension and unlocking greater levels of comfort and overall achievement. I hope you take this advice seriously and try it for yourself, so YOU can experience the benefits in your own playing! 🎺😊

This is such great info, thanks Adam! Loving my 3xl

[@CameronJay]

Hey Adam, I love this video. I hope you don't mind but I've shared the link in the description of one of my lesson videos as I think you demonstrate and talk about this concept perfectly. Thank you!

[@kevinlewellen1037]

That is a wonderful lesson! I will work on it. Thank you for sharing this!

[@EXW9]

Playing like this you feel much more relaxed when it's time to play. In my case, even helps to get in the state of mind that I'll play with no extra pressure or stress and my air can just flow. that's good advice you're giving

[@hudsoncampos5976]

Very nice

As far as I know push-ups are doing the opposite. To keep the blades together I think it’s better to row

[@trumpetman]

I love my two Lotus pieces but I've never seen anyone do pushups like that lmao.

Painful to watch....

Hola Adam, espero que te encuentres muy bien, quería hacer una sola observación, sería muy bueno que subtitularas tus vídeos en Español, de ante mano muchas gracias y bendiciones.

[@samuelreyesrojas8440]

Ive always been told to keep my feet flat on the ground can you expand a bit on why you stay on your toes

[@alexcarter8807]

Adam Rapa is a real treasure. It's like having a version of Harry James who's able to tell you exactly how he does it (and plays circles around original model Harry James too).

[@ClassDynamix]

Which Lotus horn is that he’s blowing?

[@lotustrumpets6739]

That would be our newest model, which haven't officially made it unto the menu yet. It's basically a Lead/Solo horn with a pure silver flare at the end of the bell which makes it incredibly creamy on the soft side, and also has the capacity to get bright and shiny when you step on the gas. Hope that gives you an idea =) Henrik Grahn Lotus Trumpets

Hacer una postura que convoca mejor para tocar tompeta: una pose "superheroe". Se consta de que te paras blanceado mas en las pelotas de tus pies (no en el plantar); tmb mueves el pelvis hacia atras como para levantar un poco el culo en vez de curvarte para enfrente; y por tercera abres el pecho juntandose las escapulas (los ejercicios que le muestra son para practicar esa posicion--haces todo el ejercicio manteniendo las escapulas juntas; esto te ayuda a estirarte los pectorales y darte esa mejor postura). Con esos tres puntos tienes una mejor contextura para tocar con poder y buen aire libre. 👍

[@rickslzr4613]

Gracias Martín! Un abrazo 👏👏👏

[@trumpetrumept]

そうだよな。姿勢悪いってか癖づいてるよな。マーカスの吹き方て
