Trumpet Tip: Practice Slowly to Improve Quickly

[@CICORIA977]

Hi Bob, here is 46 years old trumpet newbie from Italy. I just wanted to thank you, your contents are really usefull , funny and clear even for a not native speaker. I use them to refine or study in deep what I am learning with my teacher.

I am 2 months into learning the trumpet as a mature adult, this is the music site I needed

Good tip. As an old comeback player, I absolutely have to slow down when learning new pieces of music. Not just for the playing aspect, but also for the "reading music" aspect. My progress is much better when I take the time to get it right, first, and increase the tempo later.

Could not agree more. I first remember hearing this in a Jamey Aebersold workshop and it has been the best. I’ve had some friends mock me when practicing, but they don’t mock the results.

Caught me red-handed bobby! I always just practiced at the pace I thought it should be performed, and stopped and restarted when I messed it up. Definitely time to slow it down with a metronome.... thanks again!

[@RidgewoodSchoolofMusic]

I think this approach will make your life a little easier! Let me know how it goes!

Love these tips as well as the channel/room aesthetic. Keep em coming! 📯

Thanks for this excellent tutorial. I find that in tricky passages it often comes down to the transition between two notes that can trip you up. Getting your brain and body to agree on how to get through an awkward transition takes time and repetition. The markings on my metronome between 40 and 60 BPM are worn thin. I work towards the target tempo in small increments, and often back off a little and work up to it again. (And again…) Thanks… again!

Can you do a video on how to gliss? There are videos on KZbin demonstrating glissing but none show how to actually do it.
