You’re the finest most exhaustive trumpet teacher on KZbin ...no one is close, it’s appreciated.

[@Rufftips]

Paul Dance thanks that is very kind

[@MrWastingmytime59]

Thanks Jon. You have some of the best instructional advice on the net. Thanks for taking the time to put this stuff up. It has helped my playing.

[@wesleymerckx2044]

I like the laid back, easy going attitude he displays as he goes about it "with us", as if there's no fourth wall. Much appreciated.

[@aldrincornelia6458]

Thanks John for your valuable advice, much appreciated👌

[@alexsandr5]

Thank you so much! What you do is very interesting, useful and informative!

[@seifenstander508]

hi jon, great video! and i am pleased to see that professionals do the same as i in the morning! start somewhere low and search for a good, relaxed, effortless, full sound. only difference to you: i unfortunately stay low. :-) thank you and best wishes, gerd

[@MrJacker751]

Good evening John, I want to start of by thanking you for all the videos. They are grails on this platform. I am going into college and will be studying music education but i also want to be part of the music ensembles. I’m looking forward to getting a stomvi trumpet soon.

Love the videos Jon! I send my best!!!

[@Rufftips]

Michael Galea thanks brother hope all is well

[@bobthecob8501]

I love the idea of starting with low notes and getting them full. The only problem I have is that I force them and get into actually practice too soon

[@bobbyg467]

COOL!!!

[@MrArlington900]

Thanks Jon. However, I just don't have that kind of range. I will do it though, but I just won't do it so high. Remember, play softly.

[@HanspiStamm]

I like the vocalisation concept. Let the lips be your vocal chords when playing.

[@jppirr1031]

the warm up scale was it a minor scale you were working on sounds great !!

[@Rufftips]

Jp Pirr Diminished scale most of it was a diminished scale some of it wasn’t Best, Jon

[@jppirr1031]

Sounded good i have to learn those !!

[@thatwontwork9046]

Thanks for being so uplifting and positive! (Thanks for not being Kurt Thompson) also, I'm wondering, and you may have answered this in the video I'm just in the middle of it now! But, let's say I've developed a nice (slightly lengthy) warmup that I like, and works for me. If I have two practice sessions in a single day, let's say, 30 mins each, separated by the whole day, like one in the morning and one in the evening, should I do my entire warmup for both practice sessions? Or would you suggest a shorter, abbreviated one for the second session in a day? Thanks, great video!

[@Rufftips]

Joshua Girard I think an abbreviated one will work later in the day. We are typically more stiff early in the day. Best Jon

[@Rufftips]

Joshua Girard Sorry about that that was supposed to say that an abbreviated one will work

[@thatwontwork9046]

Ah i see, thanks!

[@parkerjohnstone7399]

Another great video! Thank you so much! Quick question: if you have say an hour to play on a given day (resting as much as you play), is it better to break it up into three 20-minute sessions, or just play one 1-hour session (given that everything's feeling good)? I'm assuming the first session would include a slow easy warmup, but the sessions that would follow would include a much briefer warmup. Thanks in advance.

[@Rufftips]

I think that 20 min sessions are fantastic if you have the time throughout the day. If you only have an hour block I would consider two 25 min sessions with appropriate resting during the session and put a 10 min break in between the two sessions. This certainly can be a flexible practice frame work. On some days: 20 min, 5 min rest 15 min 5 min rest 15 min. Always rest as you play, take the moment off the chops to recover. Hope this helps. Best, Jon

[@parkerjohnstone7399]

Thanks so much for the reply Jon! I'm a comeback player who jumped in way too enthusiastically on my return - not making much progress until I started playing less - a lot less. Funny that. I had another "reset" recently after cancer surgery (which laid open part of my face and embouchure) followed by a dog attack (which pierced my lip just outside of my mouthpiece "ring"). These events have caused me to start over a second time. I'm trying to approach my playing each day without preset expectations -- just feeling and following what I've been given that day. No longer do I attempt to adhere to a strict plan of so much Arban's, Colin's, Schlossberg, etc... I just see where I am and try not to overdo. If a warm rich sound doesn't show up after a gentle warmup, I put the horn down and rest... something that's been very hard for me to do. Thanks again for sharing your expertise with all of us!

[@Rufftips]

Wow that is a lot of events. I am glad you are still hanging in ther. I like your approach I think it will serve you well.

Hey Jon :)

[@haroldhollander3330]

Hi Jon. I am a come-back player who stopped 30 years ago after finishing college as a non-major. What tips do you have so I can most effectively get back to playing in a community orchestra? Thanks, H

[@Rufftips]

Harold Hollander I would start with this advice on this video and move into developing a very solid practice routine and is not a daily diet but a weekly diet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXjHdYKJa7Nql9k
