Do you know how what a balanced embouchure looks like? Could you observe another player and figure out if they needed an embouchure change? If not, this video is for you! We're learning from my good friend Dr. Matt Vangjel, professor of trumpet at the University of Missouri Kansas City about why embouchure changes are helpful, what the benefits are, what a balanced embouchure looks like, and more.

Great video! Many years ago Donald Reinhardt wrote lot of stuff about embouchure classification and how you should practice with your type of embouchure. I fixed my embouchure problems after moving around from a system to another during my career. Reinhardt's ideas opened my mind and made me a better teacher.

Yes, I would be curious to see a classical musician and a university teacher talk about how our unique physical characteristics determine our approach to playing. My big gripe with the university teacher I had was unhelpful admonitions to just “use more air” and other vague instructions unworthy of university level teaching. It would be nice if any teacher at the university level could explain embouchure in a way that a violinist explains the technique of bowing, which I’m pretty sure isn’t just “use more bow!”

@@cliffordgagliardo4324 I had the same problem and my professor was a famous first chair here in Italy when I was a student. The "more air" approach made me overblowing all the time and playing a concert became harder then a marathon... The funny thing is that I learned all the technique from people outside the conservatory world...

The emotional support, and setting clear as well as achievable goals is so important.

I remember hearing Matt perform when he played flugel with the Fountain City Brass Band. Absolutely superb player and he's obviously a gifted teacher, too. Thanks to you, too, Ryan, for all of the tremendous content you've produced over the years. It's so, so valuable -- I almost can't believe we live in an age where so much wisdom is so readily available. I hope students everywhere are taking advantage of these resources and getting inspired to "throw a whole bunch of hours at it" as Scott Belck says :). Thanks again Ryan & Matt!

Thanks so much for this comment! Matt is the best. I get a lot out of these interviews, I’m glad you and others do too!

I just got my braces off and my tone feels isn’t as vibrant or brilliant should I maybe change or just build tone back up?

@RyanBeachtrumpet 8 күн бұрын

I think it will take time to build back up, it’s way different when your braces come off

@@RyanBeachtrumpet Sir. I used to play upstream with a reverse pivot. I didn't go through the change until after I graduated with my master's degree. I got on the sublist for the Indianapolis Symphony and even played two services with them while I was playing upstream. The mouthpiece was also a little low too beneath the red. I also have an overbite. Although I'm confused why I got to play with a major orchestra before the embouchure change?

I haven't had a gig in months, am unemployed, back with mom and dad 😞. It has been quite rough. I've still tried to keep up with my trumpet 🎺 playing. Yet it just feels like a waste. I went through embouchure work about five years ago.

You don't want to be me sir. If I had students I personally would not 🚫 do that something like that with them. Many of them end up reverting back to their old embouchure. I had the same issue and it almost cost me getting canned from a holiday pops concert six months into the adjustment. No joke 😞 as this is not 🚫 your typical sob story sir.

@@JoeJoe-rt1fkif you were working professionally, I wouldn’t have gone through a change like that. In my opinion, embouchure changes are not worth it if you’re playing well enough with a ”bad“ embouchure. My guess is that you had some bad habits that they thought an embouchure change could correct. While that can work, it requires a heightened awareness of the habits you’re carrying into a change such as yours. I‘m sorry to hear that you’re going through rough times but there is definitely still time
