Before u get mad and say all i work on is range its not all i work on its all i POST... i practice other stuff than range but i post my high notes cuz its one of the only aspects i like about practiing 😭
What am i doing wrong man im doing everythijg the tutorial tells me
I am trying to learn how to shake, but to do that you have to know how to lip trill
And lip trils are just fast slurs, but I cant get it right
I tried to practie doing the arban partial flexibility (C to g in the staff quarter note than eight, than eight trips, than sixtenths then triplet sixteens)
But i got sat down really fast and i can only play it all the way through at 30 bpm. Its so hard locking in the partials despie the notes im trying being really easy
Most importantly, how do i practice the higher ones like g to high b flat? I can litterally scream a high G but i cant do a simple g to b flat...
I just need exerscises helping learn how to lip trill high (ik you have to start low but i wanna know the progression)
And if i can do lip trills for high B flat to lets say high C, will that help my High E -> G become easier?
I can play a solid dub F -> G# (F and f# for reference, please excuse tone cuz this was after practice)
But i can play them good outside of band / context but whenever im in band i cant lock in the partials hear the note, or even if i can my endurance is stupid bad where i cram it into my lips
Im section leader now, and for next band camp I dont want to increase my range, but rather to solidify my double F and G to be stupid loud in the band and assert my dominance (i can already do that with E and F in some cases but D and C are guarenteed)
Any tips to help me get to my goal and beat this problem? I also want to know how to keep these notes thrughout the WHOLE performance / game. I reallly want to lock in so I can for lack of better words flex on ppl that i AM a screamer (one more thing,i need help locking in the partials / accuracy so i can hit it and not feel my way around yk)
Edit: I also play on a yamaha 11b4. Know this doesnt matter but I def have the chops to be able to utilize a proper lead mp. Any suggestions for one? (Warburton preferred and bob reeves not necesarily bad but to thin for my lips if that makes sense)
I am a junior (soon to be senior) in highschool, I definitely want to do band in college because ive been told by many people that i have a natural talent for this instrument (teachers, college students etc.)
but I'm not sure if I would want to take the risk and make a CAREER out of this though
When i think of professional playing, I think of gigs: Weddings, Venues, Etc. But on the other hand I think of real deal like jazz band stuff like louis downsdell and wayne bergeron
I also know that professional music is INSANELY competitive, but I don't want to waste my skills if you know what i mean too. I want to be like the cream of the crop like mitchel cooper (Who has commented on my vids before no flex lol)
But yeah, do I take the risk and go all in on trumpet majors / music majors? I want a major in software engineering currently, but all i need to know is where to find connections and how to become GLOBALLY good like Adam Rapa, Maynard, Cat Anderson, etc.
I want to become like really popular and make my own mouthpieces and stuff too, but I don't even know how I would get to that point even If i did practice until my Lips have Abs...
Edit: Forgot to mention but some dude today told me I should try to go for DCI, specifically the carolina crowns. I like DCI but I also heard its CRAZY expensive too, Would this put me on the radar more for being globally renowned? Call this ego or whatever but side note if i do join a DCI I definitely want to be the screamer / one of them dude, I could def be one but it seems kinda hard doing that for 12 hours straight
