STACCATOS, dynamics, TENSION, music AND MORE! How to play Clodomir's Study #3

[@rickrangno3229]

Hi Deanna!! I stumbled upon this video by accident and was so pleased to see that you’ve gotten back up on the trumpet horse again! This was a wonderful presentation that I enjoyed thoroughly. I enjoyed watching how you walk the viewer through the task of preparation….you exhibit the joy of self discovery and it’s infectious! Onward and upward…I’m already looking forward to the next instalment!

Hi Rick, It's so great to “see” you here. Thanks for watching my video and your feedback! I really appreciate your kind words. And, yes, finally brought my trumpet back to the forefront! It’s so good to be playing again more regularly. My next instalment is in the works! Thanks for commenting here. Cheers, Deanna

Hey, thank you for doing these videos! I played trumpet for three years and took a break for a year. Now I'm starting to play again and to get my sound even better than when I stopped. It's really inspiring and helpful to watch you on your journey!

Hi, thanks for watching and for commenting, too! You're most welcome for the videos! They're fun to make and, as you probably can tell, I love talking about trumpet playing! 🙂 I wish you all the best as you go forward with your playing. Cheers, Deanna

With staccato I tend to split notes like the study you were playing on this video ie silences in between. Where is the tongue after each staccato note? Does it tongue stop ie place tip of tongue immediately after the start or suspended and gently articulates against the teeth quickly moves away and so on?

Hi Craig, it’s a great question and timely! I’m just finishing up the Clodomir #5 video and in the next one after that, I’m actually going to be talking about tonguing in general and staccatos specifically. That video is already about half done and shouldn’t be too long coming out after #5. So… if you don’t mind waiting, I’ll be able to answer your question better by showing and talking about it in video format. Cheers! Deanna
