As we seek growth as musicians, we are often told to "clear our mind" or "think less." Chris Coletti shares how simply focusing on a clear intention and setting up instantaneous feedback for yourself can help learning occur automatically. He talks about awareness, meditation, frustration, and how we can calm a chattering mind.

This is far and away the absolute best trumpet pedagogy video on KZbin.

Classical players often have these esoteric "trumpet is just like meditation" ideas, but most developing players have technical faults that require direct language and conscious correction and no amount of sitting in a lotus posture will fix them.

Way to purposely misunderstand the video. When you've taught countless lessons where simply telling the student what they need to do doesn't work, even when you know it's the right instruction, a new approach is needed. This is an example of a more oblique approach that may work with some students. Everyone learns differently.

Great explanation and teaching on mindfulness in playing. Nicely, nicely done.

[@georgemelitsis2607]

Very helpful. Thank you

[@brianmorrison7542]

Beautiful description of Zen playing

This is my 6th time watching this video and I’m still trying to decode it😅 it’s all very simple stuff but it goes by so fast I have to write things down to make it make snse

[@salsafun5697]

Feldenkrais like approach! Nice!

That posture can easily become a rigid harness. To be relaxed and postured at the same time needs guidance or luck. For a beginner, nowadays I would first go for relaxation, then for easy and full breathing from relaxation and only then ad posture to it from the perspective of the breathing.

I'm really hopeful working on this might help me get my stoopid overactive brain out of the way while I'm trying to play music. When I'm unable to execute passages that are difficult for me, it's almost always due to my brain over-thinking and tripping me up.

I can relate to a lot of what is being said here. I think it’s going to help me. Could you expand a bit on “polished decay on every note”? About 1:15 in. Thanks. Peter

If posture is consistent... then it's "natural" and you are more relaxed.

It is not Zen, it is simply Alexander's technique: habits and direction

[@trombonegamer14]

It sounds more like Inner Game of Tennis to me. Very "self 1 self 2" kind of thought

[@williemakeit2346]

Definitely reminds me of what I learned studying the Alexander Technique.

[@Mike49if]

Great advice, thank you! Is that a CarolBrass Giuffredi?

[@MarioSilva-jg5nh]

Every skill on the trumpet is learned until it feels natural then you follow the feel to improve it and stretch the ears.

[@wlonsdale1]

Canadian brass?
