[@wayneandrus307]

Nice centered sound and good control.

Muchas gracias excelentes ejercicios!

[@charlesarmstrong5292]

Thanks a lot, so very much appreciated.

I've found that Claude Gordon's "kick" of the top notes gets the air and speed velocity going much better, PLUS works the corner muscles better. "Let the air do the work",etc.

[@dashtrumpet]

Yes! I didn’t say this in the video, but I should have. I agree, the air does the work!

[@falgraf1]

@@dashtrumpet Do you mean a combination of tongue position and air flow (kick)?

[@jerrygiles1661]

"...lip slurs..." more than just a 'misnomer'. I was passionate about the trumpet from 4th grade-high school. 1st chair throughout. However, I had a secret problem that prevented me from progressing like others. I heard about lip slurs and began years of trying to make my lips cause a no-valve slur. Naive, yes, but who in their youth is assertive enough to ask for help?. I took the term literally. And it eventually caused to quit during college due to frustration and disappointment. In my opinion, the term lip slur should NEVER have been coined. It wasn't until I happened upon Claude Gordon principles that I heard the emphasis on use of the tongue. Unfortunately I had abandoned the horn for 25 yrs . Thank you for your beginning comment about it being a misnomer. Truly. jg

What in the world is a "no-valve" slur?

Thank you for the valuable etude. Small note: In minute 4:23, however, the finger names is noted once incorrectly.

L'exercice (très bien!) est issu de la méthode Davidson? Il me semble que j'avais travaillé ce genre de vocalise, jadis, avec cette méthode américaine, Un grand merci ! Ou est-ce la méthode Colin's plus connue?

[@dashtrumpet]

J'essai de vous repondre en francais!! Je ne connais pas Davidson, mais je veut le rechercher. Charles Colin etait un jouer Americain et son methode est utiliser ici beaucoup. Amities des Etats-Unis

[@gerardleidet4363]

@@dashtrumpet Vous écrivez très bien en français, merci. La méthode Davidson est proche de celle de Ch. Colin et de Gordon, sur les notes "naturelles" sans usage des pistons. Je cherche la référence. Amitiés de France- près de Marseille.

I do these. Howcome he sounds better? It must he his horn. I'd sound that good, too, if I were playing whatever high end horn he's playing.

[@nicholasreeber1648]

Yo some extent you might be right. But these take years to sound like that.

He's also getting a lot of help from the room. But most importantly, you gotta relax. The rest in between each cycle is important, and you have to work up to being able to have the consistency and endurance demonstrated here. It'd be nice if there were a "before" video showing how this sounds if you're a good student who is doing this, under instruction, for the first time.

[@callmemastermaster9875]

You play pretty good. You should consider a career in music.

Are you supporting with your stomach.?

[@woah6958]

Of course he is 🙄 How else would he be getting such an even sound?

[@dashtrumpet]

Yes, but I prefer to concentrate on a free, full airstream/sound.
