The fact that he can do on purpose what people try not to do on accident is actually kind of insane to me. That lip control, and this was him in 2012. His buzzing videos are insane and I love every second

Charlie I haven't played in 24 years and just picked it up again. Trying to start fresh with good habits. Your videos are excellent! Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

thanx Charlie...you are a natural born teacher...I have only had one other realtime teacher that has your ability to cut thru the B.S. and pare it down so succinctly. 63 years old, retired and getting back into my horn and guitar...Peace !!!

What a great video. Such a simple approach to explaining how trumpet playing works. Sure wish someone had explained it to me this way back about 40 years ago, when I was struggling to figure out how to play a trumpet. This is going to help a lot of wanna-be trumpeters. Well done, Mr. Porter!

There are KZfaq channels "clickbait". Then there is Mr. Porter. A breath (no pun intended) of fresh air. I’m already his student however, he doesn’t know it yet. It’s my goal to get to an intermediate level so I may ask for formal lessons. I bought an Olds ambassador, a Monette Prana from the factory and a new Bach Strad leadpipe and your plethora of books on the channel. You’ve created a monster…I now own 10 horns I can’t play a melody, BUT I make great music/sound. You rock brother. I just wish you’d re-visit your channel as it seems you are disconnected from it these days. Oh the price of earning a living.

Very good video Charlie, It's so good to hear someone who knows what they are talking about and also being a great player.We as trumpet players are always over complicating things. I also like your Video on Pedal tones and have somewhat adapted it to part of my playing. Air and Vibrations that's what it's all about :)

I always wondered how guys could slur intervals and partials like that using the horn. All my instructors had me practice intervals but never HOW, mechanically. I used to spend hours every day practicing slotting every note individually and reaching a physical limit.There's a hard limit when your mechanics are wrong. Man, I wish I had this video back in college, i might have gone on to be a professional trumpet player

Thanks for the help! I'm going into my senior year of highschool and I've spent the past 3 years as 4th Trumpet in Jazz band, mostly because I didn't have much of a will to practice. And I've had enough of 4th, and now during summer break I've started practicing again and these videos have helped me out a TON with explaining essentials and explaining what is a bad habit that many people have. I've for the most part been pushing my trumpet into my lips hard, and they've always hurt so much after rehearsals. Now, its just time to set the good habits into being natural for me, and I'll be set!

Charlie, in his Trumpet Method (3 books), Vizzutti has the glissando on mouthpiece as part of his warmup. He gliss from G in staff up one octave and then down to pedal G and play the pedal stronger.

Charlie thankyou very very much for your videos (especially this one). As a music grad I always wanted to learn a new instrument and gave the trumpet a go for a year with very little progress until......your videos man ! now can hit a high D and starting to play with others, great stuff. your info on smaller aperture, lip slurs and tongue arching for high has saved my bacon. the only real issue I had of late was not FORWARD arching and so bottling up the air pressure (now solved with keeping k tongue for some passages). I may not get to pro level but who cares at least its enjoyable to play now. Your a genius Charlie, congrats !
