[@Jonny-xj7hj]

White Cheese it could honestly just be the instrument I played trombone for 7 years, I’m good enough to get into concert and symphonic band but that’s after years of experience and I absolutely hated playing it. I played tenor sax and learned all the notes and scales and got the hang of it in like two weeks, and outperformed people who’d been playing for years. So yea I’d say liking the instrument and having the attitude is a really big part of it. And the band director too. I wasn’t allowed to touch any other instruments no matter how good I could play them while my old band director was still in charge. While my new director wasn’t the best with some forms of teaching, he encouraged me to play whatever instrument I wanted. And I liked him for that. My old director wanted me to get better at playing an instrument. While my new director wanted me to enjoy the music, and do what I wanted to do with it and supported and gave me advice. I learned lots of things from both directors, from my old director: I learned one way on how to practice an instrument and master it. From my new director I learned: playing new instruments, how music works and knowing how to appreciate. Both directors had their ways of teaching, I learned great things from both.

To all those who question his honesty regarding progress... I think it's not inconceivable that someone with a musical background could do this. The only thing I find beyond belief is his ability to practice an hour a day for the first week... I can't imagine the untrained embouchure having that kind of endurance. (Unless he's counting KZbin watching during that time!) But however you did it, congratulations Sébastien...I hope you're inspired to work towards being an accomplished player!

[@mancooutwest44]

[@jonathantinoco3045]

Do sirens on the mouthpiece, not only do they help increase your range but its also a relaxing way of learning the high register without much tension, if you do it right, but try not to tongue and use pure air to change the note, the appature will change naturally based on the air you use. My main instrument is Bass Trombone and i can reach up to a High D with a lot of efficient practice. Also remember to stay relaxed and not tense up or pinch your embouchure or throat, it will hurt and lead to bad sound as well

Thanks! Actually it really helps to learn an instrument while already knowing one, because there's a lot of things you're already familiar with, like musical notation, music theory, scales, ear training, etc. So you only have to focus on the instrument itself, which can make you learn quicker.

Took me another month to start learning and remembering my scales. Took me about a month to choose a new trumpet, have it arrive, and then another month relearn how to blow on this new trumpet, which is way easier than the battered up horn I was gifted in the beginning.

[@joelpierson2628]

I read, somewhere below, a thread about the question does previous experience on another instrument help. Absolutely. After spending years learning one instrument, what mistakes did I make on the first instrument, and what will I do differently this time. Before buying one and plinking around on it, the previous experience will let a person plan another instrument's journey. Does playing an unrelated instrument help? It sure does. I'm beginning to learn my fourth instrument, Vibraphone. First was Drums, which helped learn the second instrument, the Flute, because of a firm rhythmic foundation. The third instrument, Saxophone, was made easier because of the fingering similarity to the Flute. Now on my fourth instrument, Vibraphone, I have the opportunity to think back to all the mistakes I made, like getting out in front of myself and having to re-visit the basics years later. Not using a metronome from the start. Not playing slow when learning new movements. Not focusing on the glitch points, as I heard in this video when he played his scales. Not playing legato on the flute and Sax. Dismissing the value of learning theory as I did on the flute. Now, on the Vibraphone, I'm starting with just the mallets learning to hold and manipulate two mallets in each hand. Starting with the weak side first. Ah yes! Experience from the drumming journey. Next, I will move to the strong side and a mallet instrument practice pad until I can play thirds and sevenths in the left hand over a 12 bar blues. Then, I will add in some coordinated independence by adding the flat 7 in the right hand. Simultaneously I will be working on major scales starting with Gb and working toward the easiest but, I won't spend too much time on scales. Only enough to learn which hand to start on and how not to get tangled up. Almost immediately, I will learn melodies. Bags Groove to start. I'd love to hear from multiple instrument players that have some wisdom to add.

[@lunganibiyela1690]

This is the motivation I NEEEDED! Doing my first lesson today. Teaching myself.

[@hersheyskwertz9315]

Don’t practice buzzing into a mouthpiece. In a mouthpiece you force the buzzing. In the horn it’s just air flow. College professor showed me why buzzing into a mouthpiece is negatively affecting people’s playing. Insert the mouthpiece in horn and play g in staff then pull horn away while you continue trying to play a g on the mouthpiece. You’ll notice you’re not buzzing but the airflow and instrument causes your lips to vibrate. Creates better sound further down the road.

[@johncruz7923]

I practiced this very philosophy for years and it really depends on your level of development and the actual anatomy of the player. My playing actually got better once i reintroduced buzzing and rim buzzing back into my daily routine.

[@aidanolesen381]

Actually, my teacher and I have worked on buzzing properly for the better part of 6 months and I've seen a huge improvement in my playing. The key is not just buzzing through your mouthpiece but having a proper sound that doesn't sound forced when you buzz. If you're forcing the buzzing on the mouthpiece, chances are that you're doing that on the horn too, so not buzzing won't exactly help or not help. Once you learn how get a good sound on the mouthpiece, that'll transfer over to the horn.

[@hersheyskwertz9315]

Let me preface that this is friendly chat not trying to argue. Try this for me the next time you all pull out your horn. Before warming up just insert the mouthpiece and don’t turn it to keep it tight in the horn otherwise you won’t be able to do this. Play an easy and relaxed g in the staff holding the mouthpiece with your right. Pull the horn away from the mouthpiece, if you’re buzz stops and turns into a stream of air then you’re really not buzzing as you play. You just think you are. If you continue buzzing into the mouthpiece as you pull the horn away then you’re forcing your lips to make a sound rather than using your airstream and corners to allow the lips to buzz by simply blowing air through the horn. This is why beginners have a very tubular and stiff sound by forcing their lip to vibrate. Let me know what happens.

[@stephenmisson]

I'll go with that. Been playing 66 years now, mostly professionally i.e. I got paid for it unlike now it's all for charity.

[@ColinMroczko]

It’s controversial and I’ve had mixed results with it. For me, it has helped a lot in getting a centered and resonant sound when it feels like I can’t quite get the notes to sit in the right place on the horn. However, there’s a lot more tension involved in playing the mouthpiece than the trumpet itself, so you don’t want to focus on it too much.

[@SafeTeaFirst101]

[@delinger5296]

After 1 month he plays just like I played after 3 years, because as kid I didn't really have a reason to play, so I was playing trumpet twice a week, most often 20 minutes before lesson. But the fourth year of my playing I got in to the school orchestra and realize, how bad after 3 years of playing I am. So I started to play every day and I improved my trumpet skills like never before. But the motivation was declining and after one year I played on trumpet just few times in a week. One day I was browsing the internet and discovered awe-inspiring trumpet plays, after hearing it I got the motivation again and this motivation keeps to me to this day. And that's about it. If you're playing on some musical instrument, you must have reason to play, have a motivaton and fixed goal. It's useless to press someone to play, when he doesn't want play, he won't play.

Your progress is amazing. I have played for decades and only recently I stumbled across the PROPER MENTAL IMAGE for playing high notes. It is NOT that "playing a low C is like throwing a ball 5 meters, and playing a high C is like throwing it 50 meters." The PROPER MENTAL IMAGE is "playing a low C is like throwing a ball into a pool, and playing a high C is like throwing it into a basketball net." You played a high C once. OK you have it in you. Now find your way back to it. It is about experience and experimenting. And body awareness. And to do the necessery experimenting you need endurance. And that comes with practice. And to make sure your lips get the circulation of blood needed try to reduce pressure. (And returning to that mental image: hitting the net on a free throw is a good thing. But hitting it during a match is what you strive for. And free throw = étude, match = music.)

Don’t expect to progress as fast as this guy did it is very fish the amount of time he put in and what he got back which is very fishy. I have been playing for 5 years and I’m the solo jazz chair for the state of North Carolina in high school. It takes a lot of work but the trumpet can be an amazing and beautiful instrument but all you need is the time.good luck on your journey as a trumpet player in the future and don’t let this guy discourage you because everyone has their own pace. Good luck.

I've been at it 15+ years now. I will say your improvement is very impressive - well done! Focus on that embrochure and keep the air flowing!

[@user_28373]

This needs more views!

[@inaki.rodriguez]

You already are playing much better the trumpet than me as child many years ago after 4 years practicing😅 well done!🎉💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@pixamite1]

I think you should get a round of applause for having the determination and practice discipline to hammer after it for 30 days straight. I like people who are willing to take on the challenge of things that seem impossible.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video because I bought a trombone off eBay about 3 months ago (at age 68), and I had similar progress. Although I play a few other instruments, this is my first brass instrument. Later on I'll probably get a trumpet, as I has already learned the fingering (and was watching yours so I knew which note you were playing). For fun I also bought mouthpieces for a trumpet, French horn and tuba. The former two fit into the trombone, and I can play a few higher notes using these mouthpieces but can't go down as low. I'll need some kind of adapter to be able to couple the tuba mouthpiece with the trombone--I want to see how well I can play all the pedal tones. You're doing well, and I'm sure you'll continue to learn more. I'm having a lot of fun with my trombone, and now taking lessons.

Very impressive. The first month of 6th grade band nobody knew what they were doing lol. We all sounded horrible at the beginning. By the end of the month we could do a few songs but still very messy and uncoordinated.

[@loisvs781]

I just got my trumpet for Christmas. This is very encouraging. Thanks for posting this up.

“Almost at high c” plays E above the staff

[@laurenspring1628]

Haha ikr

[@sidneydavis9827]

I thought this was one of the most inspirational videos I've ever seen. It's amazing what a person can do when they put their mind to it.

[@afloatingpineapple6170]

Please do a trombone one! (If u don’t want to rent one, I advice using a pBone)

[@paullambrichs6580]

Amazing result!!!

[@wesflanagan6846]

Hi Sebastien. Awesome job dude! As a music teacher I just wanted to know how you knew what learn and in what order? How did you know what to play/practice each day? Were you following a certain book or were you just following what ever you could find on youtube? Or was it basically just learning what you wanted to learn? Especially as you started with some specific technical exercises, ie Buzzing, then long notes on the fundamentals c and G, then some lips slurs then scales... then songs.... Your thought process might be helpful for me to help out my beginner players. Thanks

[@stueyphone]

Apparently he has a music teacher

[@darrellmfume3513]

NO, I THANK YOU MAN, THIS WAS GREAT. I AM INSPIRED. Let me get back into my music.

[@ShadamAran]

For everyone complaining about how he learned some apparently difficult things in a relatively short time, let that be a reminder to you to practice diligently

[@hermanliene1546]

Been playing for almost 10 years now.. Just realised i need to practice more. I try my best to practice everyday, but school is taking alot of time. I'm 17, and i hope to play with a professional big band one day🎺🎺 Practice makes master! Always.

[@legacygaming368]

Your a natural! Nice Job! The sad thing is you are better than half the trumpets in my high school band!

[@TrevanR8501]

😬

[@TrevanR8501]

Although now that I think about it, it might be somewhat true for my school but mostly not still

[@jaykobleuthauser]

I know i'm 2 years late here but I am so proud of you. You learned more in 5 days then my 6th grade class in 5 weeks

[@sagiyoav]

Very inspiring mate,cheers

[@manuelrocha9477]

Thank you so much, you have fueld up my determination to learning to play trumpet well, and my motivation is to be able to play for God's Glory in church or wherever nedded. You have inspired me to go and practice with a fresh look at the possibilities and obtain great result in just 30 days! God bless you abundantly!

[@deedeedum1]

I’m sure you’ve found this out by now, but I suggest not pulling your fingers so far away from the valves when playing, just a good habit to start doing

[@IainPeters91]

Great video! I really needed this! After maybe ten hours of trying and failing to get much more than a fart out of my trumpet, I was losing faith that I'd ever improve. Your video showing your steady progress has inspired me! I've realised that I AM improving, but I was just being impatient and expecting too much of myself in such a short space of time. Keep up the good work! :)

[@wreams2964]

The thing he does is just one hour every day. Most people don’t do that. Also. If you really want to get the high notes easier. Work on the lowest notes down to low f sharp. That’ll make everything else sound better. Also just spend some time with a tuner and a metronome they’re very musicians worst and best friend at the same time

[@mckali9999]

Consistency makes perfect

[@djsullivan9045]

Fantastic, keep up the challenge!

[@seifenstander508]

okay, so what can i say? maybe this: thank you for destroying all my dreams! i have been playing the trumpet now for some 1 1/2 years, and i am far from what you are able to do on the trumpet. so maybe i better stop. now i see what is possible when you have got talent. i obviously don't have it. keep going! you are incredibly gifted. you can become a great player!

[@movmov9327]

He practiced for hours and for many days straight, if you do the same it’s only a matter of time for you to be just amazing! Don’t give up hope! I’ve been playing for 5 years now and I just started actually giving a crap last year and started practicing, I went from barely being able to play a high E on the staff all the way to now being able to play a double E above the staff. If you try you can do beautiful things.

[@seifenstander508]

@@movmov9327 thank you for your kind words! and don't worry, i won't give up! i will try even harder!

[@KarenJones-vb2ce]

This is wonderful to see as I am doing a similar thing. I'm on day 18 having never played a brass instrument and on a similar trajectory. I play the flute which helps. I can only manage about 30 mins and my mouth packs in.

[@elviratsvetanova2197]

Very nice, today I started learning the trumpet and thats just what i needed to see! I loved your progress, what trumpet do you use? Cheers from Bulgaria

[@SebMusicForLife]

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad that you found the motivation with my video, keep up the good work! And my trumpet is a Alysee TR-6333, I got it from eBay :)

[@skellingtonmeteoryballoon]

Fabulous 🙃🙂30 days challenge !

[@leec439]

Not gonna lie, you play that scale about the same as I do on day 9 or 10 and I’ve been playing for 4 years (not really practicing)

[@illitrait]

...join the club, Lee C. No more excuses - I seriously need to up my game.🎺

[@candace6893]

practice :) God bless you!

[@jolox.]

I got an old Trumpet made in Paris France for $5 at a garage sale. Seems to work pretty good! This video really makes me want to try and play it every day for an hour! Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@Levi_52_336]

Me - *wasn't able to get a proper embouchure until year 2* Also Me - *5 years of trumpet with only the B flat major scale memorized* Me watching this video - *hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, "not quite my tempo"*

[@musicandrc2645]

I was like you, I only knew about 3 scales with their minor, but when I got into the conservatory I suddenly had to memorize 8 scales with their minor scale so I had to learn fast and practice a lot, keep in mind that I'm not the kind of person that can memorize but I had to do it😂

[@alyssar7477]

Lmao NOT MY F***ING TEMPO
