PATERNITY LEAVE TRUMPET WARM UP ROUTINE and FUNDAMENTALS(Fly on the Wall!)

[@clifftonmnisi.9746]

This is really a great combinations of warm ups exercises Thank you encouragement

I think the Compression System by Larry Meregilliano could serve the purpose and more !

[@moorebaroque]

Hi! I really love the video. I had two questions: 1) What drone app do you use for mouthpiece buzzing and 2) what is the hagstrom breathing tool? Thanks for sharing this!

[@tptboy1974]

Thank you! I use the TE Tonal Energy app for most of my drone work. The Hagstrom Tool is something John made to see air pressure through the mouthpiece. Bought it from him over 20 years ago.

This is very comprehensive and fantastic. Thank you for sharing this, Tony!

[@tptboy1974]

Thanks Ben!

[@wgibso2]

This is awesome

[@user-ds3yv7hu9y]

Awesome!!!!!

[@javieralcaraz5725]

Where could I buy the hagstrom breathing tool? What’s the purpouse of that tool?

[@tptboy1974]

Unfortunately, you’ll have to make it yourself with a oz/sqin gauge. It’s to keep the airspeed or compression as you articulate and immediacy of air when starting notes without the tongue.

Just great. Thanks!

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!!! Please share! 😉

Great stuff, Tony! I got finger envy now. Gonna go practice!

[@doctoraardvark190]

Nice to have you back! We've missed you. I enjoy your 2nd trumpet tutorials. I noticed you spend a lot more time buzzing on the mouthpiece than I do. Do you ever do just lip-buzzing first?

[@tptboy1974]

Thank you! I’ll try to get back to the tutorials this summer. I’m not a fan of lip buzzing for myself other than to loosen the chops in the shower or to see where I stand with fatigue and swelling in the morning. I’m aware there might be a benefit for some people especially to work the corners of the embouchure and encourage firmness in the supporting muscles.

hi @PhillyOTPT2 Been watching your stuff for a while now! would you mind explaining how you record for your videos. It's very clean and I'm curious what you use to record as well as how your room/s is/are set up for resonance. Looks like an SM58. A short video on this would be quite useful!

[@tptboy1974]

Hi Stephen…I’m recording speaking with the SM58 but playing with a Royer 121 and a Yamaha interface. The room is my basement and it is carpeted. The mic is about 5-6 feet from my bell. I turn off the other mic while playing. I’m just using the FaceTime camera on my iMac to record video which is why the video quality is a little lower than desired. Thanks for watching!

[@davidbarbero6212]

It would be interesting to know which mouthpiece you play on please?

[@tptboy1974]

I play the Ultimate Brass Prisk Models Bb, C and Piccolo Available at www.ultbrass.com

[@davidbarbero6212]

@@tptboy1974 thanks for that info.

[@saulrosa4523]

Could you make a video of what would you do in your warm up if you had to do an audition where you would play Haydn, Honegger and some excerpts ? Thank you very much for this great video !

[@ccrider5398]

Do you rest after all this before going onto repertoire? I'm sure you practice what the orchestra will be doing when you get back and you probably have a solo or two on the schedule. How do you fit those practices in with the warm up and fundamentals? Do you practice the exercises your students have trouble with so you can demonstrate them at top level? Do you also finish you day with a warm-down? Thanks for sharing all your videos!

[@tptboy1974]

Hi CC…thanks for watching…as I mention in the video, this is more of a fundamental routine I’m doing during my paternity leave so I’ll rest for several hours if not the whole day before playing repertoire. If I am warming up for a longer day of playing I consolidate much of the warmup into a 20-30 minute routine. Usually, leaving out 5-5-20’s and some of the scale patterns. I am constantly adding or subtracting the fundamentals based on what I’m playing in the orchestra or in my solo/chamber playing. Even adding exercises I recognize need work with students. I’m assuming that in the next two weeks before I go back I will be adding in more repertoire and trying to play 2-3hours a day. In that case, I like to warm up, rest a bit and do a couple sessions through the day. I do get inspired to come up with exercises to demonstrate to students and practice them to be a good example. I always finish the day with a warm down of flexibility exercises, usually Bai Lin or Irons. I’m not a big fan of pedals or low playing to cool down. Just light and quick flexibility or softer top of the staff scales. My job is to play low most of the time so I take the chance to cool down a little mid range. I hope this answers your questions well. Thanks again!

[@ccrider5398]

@@tptboy1974 I've generally stuck to a routine for warm-up and fundamentals, but I've gone from Stamp to Vacciano recently and it seems to help a lot. I followed with fundamentals from Clarke, but recently I've been going to Arbans - particularly the interval studies. I haven't done Sach's in a long time, but after watching you, I may add that back in (subtracting something else!)

[@zachcalhoon9665]

Glad im not the only one ending my routine on a silly lick.

[@weifengzhao2135]

This is the most detailed and comprehensive video about trumpet warm up routine I have ever seen! Thank you❤

[@tptboy1974]

You're so welcome! Remember, I don’t do all of this every day…but I certainly take elements from it for my warmup! My warmup is only about 20-30mins of this. Be well!
