The #1 question I get from jazz students around the world is "How do I form a great practice routine?" In this video, I break things down into the three sets that are foundational to any well-rounded practice routine. These touch on everything you need to get to each day in order to build your arsenal of musical tools.

Thank you. This is an issue I've tried to refine for sometime now. I keep a daily journal of my practice sessions and have experimented mixing things up but it still not quite right. I like the categories that you've presented and the examples given. I believe your suggestions will be of great help.

Nice to hear a framework articulated that keeps from being overly prescriptive, but is specific enough to act as a tangible starting point each day. I really appreciate how you play fairly straightforward melodies with real conviction and weight, is that something you worked on routinely in isolation, or more on the bandstand?

Thanks Andrew! That's the goal 👍 I've worked on intentionality a lot on my own. I mainly do this through singing and making sure that, when I go to the horn, I'm playing only things that I can hear and sing VERY strongly. Bandstand experience has certainly helped too, of course. But a lot of it has come together in the practice room.

Is this kind of practice covered somewhere in your existing educational oeuvre, or maybe forthcoming? I’m not a brass player, so I’m not sure if this is just a natural extension of learning to play the instrument itself.

It should be more natural than it is! I talk a little about it in a trumpet fundamentals book I released in 2020, but will be going more in depth in future educational things I release. Stay tuned? :)
