Trent Austin Mini-Lesson #51: Rediscovering the efficiency of the Leadpipe Buzz on the Trumpet!

[@stephenmurphy8833]

Thanks for the tip Trent. Im just finding my way with this technique. This is all new to me. None of my former teachers taught this

So glad to see all the bruising gone, and you back to the basics. I never did well with leadpipe or mouthpiece buzzing, just got a lot of spit all over everything. However, you have motivated me to go back to it and try, try again. I think for me, is because I need that resistance, am becoming more aware of how much 'leaning' I require to play correctly. This may have a lot to do with the fact I don't practice daily, to my shame. It always shows up when I have gigs close together, and go in with beat up chops. My personal salvation is nobody came to hear me as a soloist, and can always drop it an octave or play the tenor sax part down an octave. I realize you don't have that option. Anyhoo, glad to see you getting back in form, and I would never call you lazy, in any way, shape or fashion. You are the Jedi master we paduwans all try to emulate.

I watched this and get the approach but not getting the overall end result of this technique - is it just about buzzing sensation? Warming up? Tonality? High register? Air flow? Just not quite sure.

Yes to all of the above!

I dunno; thanks for the vid, Trent. To be honest, I just don't hear much of a difference in low pressure or high pressure. I don't hear that crackling buzz you're talking about here. You're a fantastic player and you're going to have a good sound whatever you're doing. That said, I've started doing a lead pipe warm up again. I have a good tone with good resonance, but I just don't hear that lead pip buzzing is doing anything for me. Sometimes I'll play a standard tune with the lead pipe out, which is a great workout for lip bends, so there's that at least.
