Marcus Printup Breaks Down Practice Technique on the Trumpet

[@richardcruz3695]

The long tone method has really helped my tone and my range so much! Thank you!

[@alfonsobenitez8574]

Thank you for sharing, I started learning to play the Trumpet three years ago, I will be 71 in November 2024. I am self taught and learning from people like you. I know all my notes, reading fairly. I also only have my right arm. I played my low register notes using my lips. Since I am retired I am able to practice and rest for almost three hours per day. Thank again.

[@us-Bahn]

Excellent presentation. Beautifully filmed. Nice suit. To say nothing of the persuasive arguments for working these exercises. A+++

[@thomasgill223]

Nice suit, bringing class to the lesson.

[@davidmiles4753]

Excellent advice from one heck of a trumpet player and class act. Top man.

[@MikeM91320]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I have been doing long tones off and on and now realize how important they are and how they can help.

[@TarrinLupo]

So useful, thanks so much for this.

[@bobbyg467]

Great lesson and so much good info!!!! Thanks!!!

[@mauradomashinski1323]

Love the analogy of the balloon! I'm totally stealing that! Fwiw - This elementary band teacher DOES teach her kids to do long tones! Thanks for the video! Sharing with my students!

[@alyviafleury7974]

Finally. I've been stuck at this point were I couldn't get my range or tone any better.its like I hit a wall !

[@pauldance7387]

Great teacher/ player

[@osempo]

Very cool tips and advices!

[@Dizzyphan]

We did that Goldman exercise an octave higher in drum corps horn line rehearsals.

[@us-Bahn]

That’s smart. Then play it up an octave above that. Finally down to the low octave Marcus plays it at.

[@juliojames4470]

THANK You for your explanation 🙏🙏

[@MOMdad1962]

Very solid teaching. Thanks

[@IslandStylee04]

More Vids Plz!

[@weirdoflow2050]

Omg this helped so much thank you Mr. Printup Sir.

[@benwinstanleymusic]

This has been incredibly helpful, thanks!

[@fredtyrrell6135]

I do a similar excersise for long tones, but I go from c up to b flat chromatically, rather than down. It's really working for me!

[@us-Bahn]

Not at all easy to sustain successive 40-second long tones moving up the staff.

[@bfenwick87]

Marcus, this is a very great video! I believe that your methods will be very effective, during my practice sessions. Thank you!

[@talissajanae3327]

This helped me so much! Thank you so so so much 😭💖

[@manuel-mb9wh]

fantastica clase, muchas gracias sr. Printub, ha sido un placer haberle conocido en sus lecciones y mi deseo es aprovechar al máximo sus enseñanzas. Un cordial saludo desde España

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

instructionally great; thank you Mr. Printup.

[@intrepidpooch]

Marcus Printup is the MAN!!!!!!!!!

[@NjabuloHadebe]

i first saw him playing blues walk and his solo there was AMAZING!.

[@fckuanyway2]

have been to his performance in czechia, great man with a big talent.

[@ryanguadagno3841]

This video was really helpful thanks

[@katyrebel18]

Thank you so much. I recently just got braces and you pointed out some exercises that I forgot about using.

[@1PITIFULDUDE]

Subscribed because of Marcus💪

[@alexbarha]

Thank you for this video.

[@kmac1061]

thank you for making this video.

[@rapinncapin123]

Beautiful Long tones

[@DanielSmith-ee6gm]

Great advice! The exercise he played from the Goldman book is written an octave higher.

[@bitarespect]

These tutorials by Marcus and Kenny R. are excellent, however, remember their advice is for players who are used to strenuous practice routines! I tried the long notes on trombone, up and down chromatically from a middle F, about an octave both ways, and that shot my lips for the rest of the day. Perhaps players getting used to this might want to shorten the duration of the higher notes until they build up endurance. Thank you for posting!

[@robynsteward8004]

very helpful thank you

[@superdiscount100]

lol marcus is staring into my soul. Love his playing.

[@milesspearman3134]

Thank you so much as a trumpet player trying to widen its range this really helps

[@masonhmusic]

I met this cat! Cool guy! Great musician.

[@templarexemplar35]

whenever I do the first clarke studies, my tone sounds so raspy and not clear.

[@lidinzx]

play it more slow and quiet

[@SoopSoopa]

damn!

[@bookstogobooks1641]

i now nothing about the instrument, but i can tell he knows what he talking about

[@andym28]

Using a tuner really helps

[@IAMBENNYBLANCO.]

Long tones are the backbone to brass playing.

[@richholmes5832]

I believe Mr. Printup used to play a Lawler horn but believe he has a different axe these days. Check his website and I am sure he talks about his horn.

[@user-hr5uj1wq5q]

Does anyone know what mouthpiece uses?

[@omaral-nizamy3396]

Does anyone know the notes of the goldman tounging excercise he played????

[@us-Bahn]

Doesn’t have to be an exact copy of the Goldman notes. Just riff on something close to what he did. Transpose. And keep the tongue work clean clear and fast.

[@orikivisuallab9956]

I stuggle understanding names in english. Anyone catched the name of those books and could help me writing it down? Thanks!

[@us-Bahn]

The important one is: Technical Studies for the Cornet by Herbert L. Clarke (published by Carl Fischer)

[@57dogsbody]

What make of horn is that?

[@forthewinter6341]

I believe he is playing a stomvi but I'm not sure

[@pereira1801]

Hey guys, anybody knows at which point of the practice routine should whisper tones be played? Right after the long tones?

[@WillMagid]

at the very end of your practice.. it will exhaust your chops.

[@pereira1801]

Will Magid thanks man ;)

[@monkeyman1ooo183]

omg asthma buddies!!

[@PolizomaAce]

No way he making that high c look easy

[@ezekieledo9697]

Nice one sir I wish to do better than you someday

[@JorgeHernandez-hk4jt]

what if you only do the whisper tone

[@lifetimesofamultiplemediam1003]

Propa!…

[@wernertrptube]

poor neighbours.

[@adamsluchacz5645]

Use a mute!

[@TheNuncFluens]

I don't want to sound disrespectful but why does his trumpet look like a cheap one?

[@rohnanjm]

NuncFluens Cos it doesn’t have lacquer on it

[@otmq]

Feel free to buy a shiny Chinese ISO! They come with gloves! ;)

[@blackbeltjones2903]

Lacquer makes it look cheaper imo. Like a plastic toy with shiny gold paint on it. I've only seen more matte looks on higher end trumpets.
