Warm-Ups #1 With the HornTrader

One of my favorite personal warmups which encompasses arpeggios, firming the corners with false fingerings, ear-training, and mixed articulations.
More to come. Email me at [e-mail] for a PDF of this lesson.

I use to play by ear when i was 40 years. Sold my instruments and I am 68 yo, decided to learn to read and play a Jupiter 600 that I found in a pawn shop in excellent condition, I happened to only have my right arm, but I just saw a Haitian young man that plays the trumpet, I am also a legal immigrant like him. I am a licensed HVAC retired contractor. I remember when I went to school for Air Conditioning the guys there asked me. Why you want to learn air conditioning? I knew where there were coming from. What they don't know that they can kill your body, but never your spirit and the will to achieve any goal in your life. This gentleman is amazing. Thank you for taking the time to show us. I practice every day as many time as possible, I bought this trumpet 2 months ago and i love playing it.

[@HornTrader]

Thank you for sharing your story. Keep your practice routine up. Thank you. For the kind words.

Hi Johnny, Thanks for your kind words............... I play on the Selmer Chorus 80J and I use the HornTrader signature Mpc HT3CS28 for Commercial style of playing. Best Steve

[@HornTrader]

[@HornTrader]

Thank You Antony All the best for 2018

[@billnowling]

Great stuff, Steve. Thanks!!! I'd be interested in a copy of your Warmups for guys who hate warmups when it's ready. I like the approach. A little like Thibaud, which I've been working through of late: fluidity.

[@antonymouedine9960]

Thanks Sven! Stay tuned to the HonTrader!

[@jakepatterson8815]

Hi, i really enjoyed this video, and i was wondering if i could get a copy of the PDF sent to me?

[@JohnMichaelTrumpet]

Hi Steve, I enjoyed watching all of your videos. I hope to have skills like you someday, you are quite an inspiration. I'm curious, what horn do you play on? And what is your favorite all around horn? Thanks!

[@cmhurryit]

This morning I got up and did my regular routine, read the news, etc... got ready to start working out and I'm sore this morning people don't think about the physical practice, but I said to myself, "Self, what it is you need to do before you start practice is hear a little Bobby Hackett." So Dreamsville is what I listened to, now this how workout sounds like Dreamsville to me, funny how the ear works.

[@HornTrader]

Chad Macgargle I love Dreamsville!

[@cmhurryit]

All day I've worked on arranging it from Db major to I guess it's the C blues scale (C, Eb, F, F#, G, Bb; I guess that's C? I don't know.). I took all the 5th's and made them either 1's or 7's, put some diatonic patterns in a little differently, then changed the key. It's not exactly right but I'm working on it. It's been fun.

[@olisielteixeira5562]

Muito bom !! Parabéns.!!!

[@HornTrader]

Obrigado meu amigo!

[@HornTrader]

The horn I'm playing a Selmer Chorus 80J I have two and I just love them. I have a 1955 Selmer model 25 ( Large Bore ) coming in this week. It is a shame that Selmer manufacture make trumpets anymore. I will post more false fingering etudes in the coming warmups. They are very good for your corners, mastering hard articulations, as well as playing some passages in-tune. Stay Tuned to The HornTrader! Steve

[@adilsonmartins3189]

oi bom dia ! muito bom esse arpejhos , queroa melhorar minha tecnica.

[@henrywhite8944]

Do you have warm-up exercise books out and how much

[@antonymouedine9960]

thank you for saying..the more time on the horn..the better..

[@SKBottom]

You are great! Funny too.

[@HornTrader]

If you can't have fun, What's the point?

[@Sebaoboe]

Hi horntrader, you still have those pdfs?

[@judgemintz]

Loved it! You looked a bit like Mao in the opening shot - and a bit philosophical today. I've been practicing on the driveway - the neighbors haven't complained so I must be doing something right?

[@hulkhogan503]

What is a good way to remember my scales??

[@mtbevins]

It is a nice looking horn. It is too bad they stopped making their trumpets. I did try a Selmer TT last year when I was in NY for work. They gave me a 14.A4A to use and was just too shallow for me. I really did not get a good test drive. Do you find the larger bore horns more difficult to control? I have found I seem to have more control on my smaller bore cornet than my ML Bach. Do you find this to be true or an indicator I need to practice more? :)

[@pauldance7387]

Wish I had you as a teacher

[@HornTrader]

Well you can! I teach via Skype and Face Time Check my teaching link out. www.horntrader.com/6-trumpet-lessons-the-horntrader Best, Steve

[@HornTrader]

Judge, As you know all to well. Sometimes people need more than just skills and dry drills to make trumpet practice interesting. I'm trying to make lessons @ HT as user friendly as possible. Nothing like practicing outside! Bring a hat and some sun screen. Stay Tuned to The HornTrader, Steve

[@christophac7]

Next to the "flag" option you should see "interactive transcript" button. It's youtube's attempt to take the audio from your video and put it into written text.

[@ricaard]

Such a hot player, you sunburned yourself!

[@HornTrader]

Pass the Aloe Vera I don’t want to peel

[@ricaard]

@@HornTrader 🤣🎺🤣

[@ricaard]

Hey, what horn was that, by the way?

[@HornTrader]

Trumpet and mouthpiece combinations are like a doctors prescription. My Mpc is essentially a Bach 3c with a 28 hole. The Selmer 80J horn is .461 So there's a good balance. When I do symphonic work or require a warmer sound I use a Bach Mt Vernon 3. and my horn is a large bore. I can't play shallow Mpcs so maybe a smaller or tighter drill on your cup will help you. the folks @ Kanstul have a copy of my Mpc on file. Call them up and ask for Jim New. Hope that helps......... Cheers, Steve

[@mtbevins]

Which horn are you playing on Steve? It looks like a Selmer TT? You are master of the alternate fingerings. I have never really used them but watching you I have started to learn them. I have to admit sometimes the A above the staff fingered with 1 and 2 is a crap shoot. I think fingering it with just 3 seems better. I just think it is funny I have never been taught that before after all of these years. Thanks for posting your videos.

[@antonymouedine9960]

steve thank you for answering..just write my dayly routine tyler nettestad...

[@djsullivan9045]

Steve, Do you have any Methods DVDs or ? Thanks.

[@dillardsteve1680]

Hi DJ Send me a n Email and I send a PDF of this exercise. I plan to have a method book out this summer. Stay tuned To The HornTrader. Steve

+donizete alves neto Fique ligado no HornTrader!

[@googeeish]

You could make even a plastic trumpet sound great! Is there really much difference in professional horns? Or is it all just a matter of preference? Thanks!

[@HornTrader]

+googeeish Thanks for your Kind Words. A professional instrument does make a difference Mostly pitch./ The tone and "BLOW" are pretty much up to the players discretion. Stay tuned To The HornTrader!

[@icemanlee666]

+HornTrader with that in mind would it be a good or bad idea for a beginner to have a pro trumpet if they could afford it or would it be more difficult to control and what trumpet would you suggest for a beginner if they could stretch to the price of a pro horn, love your videos and your playing so many people on KZbin videos don't sound at all musical in the high register yet you always sound beautiful I love that classic sound you have it's definitely something I aspire to
