    To boil it down to a simple statement, would it be accurate to say that the difference between using MDAS and using just a “default” aperture is that your top teeth are touching your bottom lip in MDAS?

    • @TheTrumpetProf
      @TheTrumpetProf 13 минут назад

      MDAS is making use of any small gaps or potential air channels you have between your teeth. If you don't have a gap between your top teeth, connecting the lower lip is of no benefit. I used my front teeth gap as an example of an HFA but there are multiple ways of using the system.

    • @TheTrumpetProf
      @TheTrumpetProf Месяц назад

      Yes that's right. The trumpet is always trying to vibrate your lips for you so let it take control. The trumpet won't stop trying to buzz your lips just because you are, so don't fight it! It's knowing what to control and what not to control which makes us more efficient. TP

  • @5BReiningHorses

    How do you form the inner aperture if the gap you have is in your lower teeth? Do you use the top lip with the lower teeth instead of bottom lip?

    • @TheTrumpetProf
      @TheTrumpetProf 2 месяца назад

      Yes it is possible and the principle is still the same. You are creating a narrow air channel through the teeth and using the tissue of the lips to vibrate it. Think outside the box. Forget conventional teaching. It's been around long enough to realize it doesn't hold the high note answer. Make sure you get your lower lip out the way of the gap. You'll need to lower it or roll it back or it will block the air stream TP

    When I started doing this, I started hitting high c consistently, but after about 30 mins, I’m back down to my normal range. Also it feels very unnatural, because I spend like 15 seconds setting up my new aperture, and somtimes it just doesn’t work, does this come with time?

    • @TheTrumpetProf
      @TheTrumpetProf Месяц назад

      You found it then you lost it! If you've done it once you can do it again. It probably will feel unnatural but that's compared with what you're doing right now. Remember, you don't have to use it 100% to begin with. My video is to make players aware of it and to explore it but the way you play now is always going to fight change. Continue to play as you do, but in your practice try to find high and you can eventually bring them together. I'll do more on this soon. TP

  • @5BReiningHorses
    @5BReiningHorses 2 месяца назад

    Can this still be done if you don't have a gap in your teeth? Are the two apertures being used simultaneously or are you switching between them as you go up and down in register? If switching, at what point does the transition occur? If simultaneous, then you are only controlling the pitch ever with the inner aperture?

    • @TheTrumpetProf
      @TheTrumpetProf 2 месяца назад

      If you have no gaps or air channels anywhere then it's not possible to create a second aperture. But it's extremely rare for a player not to have something they can use. The apertures are used simultaneously. One aperture creates sound while the inner aperture changes frequency. If there's no outer aperture there's no sound. If there's no inner aperture, you have to change frequency/pitch with the the same aperture as you produce sound. All great players use two apertures. They might not realize they do but that's what gives them their technical ability, myself included. TP

    @bjarterundereim3038 3 месяца назад

    If anyone could do it in just 5 minutes - why don't everyone do it? Simple question. I will tell you why. Because almost everyone will need to build the neccessary muscle in - and around their lips to be able to control the very small aperture - and the very high air pressure that you neccessarily have to build with your lungs, chest and abdomen. That takes years. You have already spent the years, and you have built all that muscle - gradually - unnoticed (or at least unremembered) by yourself. I dare you to tell me you were able to go up to he C above the line during your first year of playing. Playing scales and practice systems (like the Clarke) and work at it, and the notes will come by themselves, one half note at a time. This needs time. Years. Not minutes.

    • @TheTrumpetProf

    I need some advice. I am a young 72 yrs old who’s been playing a Bach 1.5C on a Bach 37 ML bore for over fifty years. At 69, I decided to get braces to realign my teeth and I just got them off two weeks ago. I have been surprised at the progress I’ve made in just two weeks, however, they aligned my teeth perfectly but the 1.5 just doesn’t feel the same in the upper register. I know that it’s only been two weeks but I would like to think there may be a transition size that would make the upper register just a little easier and still keep that big sound. This would be the perfect time to change as I would have plenty of time to get used to the new mouthpiece. I would not have a problem paying for the Monette mouthpiece but I also know that you can’t expect miracles from just the mouthpiece. What are your thoughts ?

    • @TheTrumpetProf
      @TheTrumpetProf 4 месяца назад

      Hi Chris. Changes in the alignment of your teeth could be the reason for the loss in range and not necessarily the 1.5C. The teeth change the current/flow of the air against the lips which changes the way they vibrate. It's almost impossible to advise you on a mpc without seeing your teeth. I would stick with the 1.5C for now and see if things improve. If they don't, then you can look at getting something else. In my opinion the teeth are the reason players have the ability they have and any changes to the contour of them will require re-balancing elsewhere. Hope that helps. TP

No, I'm not inquiring about how to get my upper register back (I fear it's long gone--I've tried everything to get it back, to no avail.) Actually, I'm trying to figure out how to play SOFTER, mostly for church gigs. I just can't seem to play anything north of D or E without blowing fortissimo, especially if it involves tonguing (staccato). If it's slurred, I'm okay. If I back off to p or even mf, I can't produce a sound. What's wrong with me?!!!

      Could be a few reasons but I'm guessing your lips are too compressed. Practice from low to high trying to turn silent air into sound. Start at low C. White noise first and gently accelerate the air speed until the note appears. Let the process happen organically Then onto D , E , F etc If you get instant sound and no silent air try setting your further apart. Hope that helps. TP

Pulling the lower lip up to the gums of the upper teeth is very unusual, I feel like I'm starting from scratch with the trumpet.

    Hi Paul it's now nearly two months since I took an hour and a half consult with you. If you remember I have been playing trumpet since 1996/7 with the last four years laid off. What you taught me to do was no less than what you do on tour videos MDAS-wise. The difference of course is that I have my very own gap in my teeth and you found it mate you really did. The point of this comment is that I never had a solid note above the F# top line of the treble clef. I tried out all the experts on youtube with tongue positioning and buzzing (which i can not and never have been able to do properly) these guys can really play as you all know many of them are top-notch professional trumpet players who get paid in the best orchestras/bands regular and jazz, for playing high - but - none of their advice over 26 years(well 22yrs actually with the recent 4-year break) none of what they offered has been of any use to me. Despite how hard I practised and moved my tongue about and practised and practised. Eventually, after about 10 years I just thought Steve you just don't have what it takes. So just carry on sitting on 3rd cornet forever, that's the best you will ever be just do that to your best ability and be happy. However, at the age of 73, after a four-year break, I had an online consult with you Paul. We did some breath stuff which I found helpful Then I continued to do what you asked me to do with the predetermined resignation that I would fail again. . Then you had a look at my top and bottom teeth and told me exactly where to place my lip under a specific tooth and blow in the same way that I had done two minutes before but without trying to play a note, just blow. On an open embouchure without any real effort out came a D6 and then an F6. I was totally astonished (in the UK we say gobsmacked) because, in less than ten minutes of working with you, I was easily knocking out notes that I had never ever heard myself play, and in a higher register than I though was possible for me EVER!!!!!!! At the end of the consult you advised to do the work and keep practising and experimenting which I have. It is perfect, well no, because I still have to practice trumpet technique and all that articulation stuff. But the basic setup for my trumpet playing is totally different to what it was before and it works every time. I play in a community wind band I am asked - "how long before you came back to band did it take to get my "lip back in" and I just say an hour and a half. Thanks, Paul Steve

    You blurred out Adam Rappa??? That’s kinda funny to me. But honestly yes your suggestions are great and very detailed. I found that the gentlemen you blurred out Adam Rappa if he really is your friend could have told you what he does. He has a more direction of airflow technique as well as building muscle memory.

      No disrespect to Adam Rappa but in my opinion he can't play a super C like this guy. Not sure what your point is but I told my friend what to do to get this range as he didn't have it before. Nothing to do with muscle memory. The day before he made this video he couldn't play those notes. TP

    OMG im so gratefull. Ive been playing trumpet for 10 years and could play to f on top of the staff with alot of efort. I got big overbite and no one could tell me why i just cant go higher. I was in music school i had best private lessons and everyone wanted to help me but no one could. Some was saying im not practiceing enough (i was practiceing 3-5 hours a day every single day) some said i had stage fright (but i had no stage fright in my ammateur band when i didnt had to play high). My best teacher showed me everything he could, but he just had No overbite so he didnt knew whats problem. Yesterday i watched this video and today IN JUST ONE DAY im playing most jazz standards i could play shifted up an octave!!! Its not perfect like it was in lower octave but im not even tired!! This is not a problem since i was doing big emboshure changes many many times before i will get there in No time. At the moment it feels like very minor change that makes a huge diference. THANK YOU!!!

    Or you could work on pedal tones. I used the Charles Colin pedal tone stuff along with the Cichowicz flow studies, Concone and Charlier #2 and achieved a searing Double C in 5 months. Eventually got to the G above with almost no pressure. Just a thought...

    • @TheTrumpetProf
      @TheTrumpetProf 6 месяцев назад

      Hi and thanks for your comment. IMO pedal tones and flow studies are not the reason for your success in the upper register and I suggest they have indirectly unlocked an air channel between your teeth. Pedal tones will relax the lips and contribute to faster vibrations. Flow studies can help relax the throat, open the energy channel to the lips and change the settings inside the oral cavity but neither of those things will be directly responsible for giving you the sort of register you describe. Again IMO if I gave 1000 students pedals and flow studies to significantly improve their upper register I would say less than 1% would find success (possibly the same way as you have). If I gave 1000 students MDAS, 99% would significantly improve their upper register and the remaining 1% would need a second lesson on it. The high note/endurance problem still exists and has always been the most difficult area of trumpet playing to solve. If it was as easy as high tongue/flow studies/air compression/buzzing exercises/pedal tones, then everyone would be doing it. But they're not. The opposite is true. The majority of players can't do it. TP

      Good points. Not to be argumentative but my teacher, Nick Drozdoff in Chicago was also a blistering lead player. He didn't use the method you're describing. Also to my eye I see more great lead players than ever and they have seem to have emerged without using your system. I'm not sure what your point is. My point is that I went from a mere E to over a Double C using the tried and true method of pedal tones, tone production and technical etudes. You do make good points, but there are many ways to get to the upper register.@@TheTrumpetProf

      @@marshalmcdonald7476 I get what you're saying and it's great to hear that you've developed your range successfully but as I said before, if that really was the answer, everyone would be doing it. I'm not convinced because I simply cannot figure how this approach by itself can increase lip frequency beyond 1000Hz. That's always been the problem with brass pedagogy - little or no explanation. If it worked for everyone who tried it I could accept there's at least something in it but it doesn't. With any system I want to know who it will and won't work for and why. That would show a deep level of understanding by the creator/developer of the system as well as saving players a lot of time! But unfortunately that information is missing in every system I've ever tried or seen and that's why I'm skeptical. The other big issue I have with methods and systems in general is the lack of reference to the upper/lower teeth. Air flow is changed by the contour of the teeth. Squeaks (or tiny currents and jets of air) are created by an individuals dental "landscape". All great high note players I've ever seen have them. Looks to me like Nick Drozdoff too. But using them and having them, brings me on to my MDAS system. You rightly say the players you mention didn't use the method I'm describing. That's because it didn't exist until now. But that doesn't mean they weren't getting huge high frequency benefit from an inner aperture. They just didn't realize it and therefore put there ability down to something else. With respect, to say pedal tones are a true and tried method of producing high frequency is in my opinion ambiguous. Any player who can access double C's has an air channel they are using somewhere. I'm guessing you do too? Thank you for your comments. I really appreciate you taking time to share your experiences. TP

      I'm between mpc's at the moment. I made another slight change to my set-up and am using a 3C replica I picked up online for £8! I'll look at AR, Monette and GR soon but my general advice is always to go for the smallest diameter mpc which gives you the best sound.TP

    High notes are not "faster" vibrations, they are MORE FREQUENT vibrations. And we ALL tension the lips to play higher, that is what controls the frequency (not the "speed") of the tone.

    • @TheTrumpetProf
      @TheTrumpetProf 6 месяцев назад

      Great teaching is not about "perfect" vocabulary but EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION of ideas. And we ALL may tension the lips to play higher but the WAY we do it (avoiding muscular tension) controls efficiency.

      @@TheTrumpetProf well one can not avoid the requirement of muscular involvement to play. But reducing effort and increasing results is indeed worthy goal. And precision in use of terms actually increases effective communication. For example: Use of the term air "volume" is quite prevalent in brass parlance when FLOW is the intended meaning. That is imprecise and blurs effective communication.

    As I relax the top lip I feel it is now responsible for the vibratiion while the lower is less so (not absolutely sure about this). Almost as if the top lip is playing the equivalent part of a sax reed while the lower is the surface of a reed mouthpiece it vibrates against. The larger mouthpiece of a trombone, for example certainly feels like both lips are moving equally.

    • @TheTrumpetProf
      @TheTrumpetProf 4 месяца назад

      The ratio is often different depending on the way a player sets up. High mpc placement gives less lower lip mass so the upper lip is the dominant vibrating force through most registers. Low mpc placement often means the lower lip dominates the lower register and the upper lip the higher register. For me lower placement is more efficient but it depends on the dental structure and lip size. TP
