Very helpful information. Thank you very much. By the way, what is your view regarding lip buzzing? I was under the impression that it was absolutely essential in order to learn to play the trumpet but I no longer believe that and it's changed my entire outlook in a positive way when it comes to learning.

"Softer you play it the stronger you get it." said Miles Davis. His classical quote was published on a cover of "Sketches of Spain" in 1959-60.

Curious what horn and mouthpiece you use to get that wonderful tone. Can it be achieved with a lacquered horn?

100% agree save energy 🎺👏🎺👏🎺

Och, gewoon in je moerstaal is ook goed hoor.

Working on this idea thank you makes sense great tip 🎶🎺🎶🎺

Hi Frank, nice video! Thank you for this precious playlist! Would you mind tell me what trumpet are you playing?

Thank you Frank, I found this technique one year ago after playing wrong for 54 years.

This is invaluable information. Less pressure and more relaxed embouchure means less resistance in the instrument and thus more projection from the instrument, and hence greater efficiency and control.

His last video was posted 4 years ago and the website failed to load, I hope the guy is not dead!

Thanks Frank. Great work

Thank you. I’m a come back player after 55 years. I have a quality instrument and mouthpiece.I will follow your videos

Great 👍

I got a double lung transplant They taught me to belly breath without expanding my chest. Chest breathing is unhealthy because you don’t expand your diaphragm and don’t get proper oxygen. . Bravo Sir .Just watch how a baby breaths

I just want to say thank you!!! I'm currently working on increasing my range & stamina, and this video reaffirms what I'm working on. Cheers from the US!!

Hmmm trumpet playing is easy but it's hard to keep it easy 😌🎺🎶

Nicely done and thank you! I’ve seen dozens of trumpet videos now and this is the first time I’ve heard less is more! I’m still a little confused about the embouchure being less though.

Hallo and thanks for sharing...I agree 100% Great content and explained in a very simple and understandable way...😊 love your music on the video ..gives a happy mood..🌞

One of the best trumpet players in the world. From my hometown Ossendrecht ☺️

Gréât vidéo!

Excellent 👌

Did you say fellow "Trumpers" - gag

To put this valuable information openly in youtube is an act of love itself. Thanks so much Frank.

What kind of trumpet do you have?

This is what my teacher teaches me. It is nice to see other trumpet player talking about this. I was playing wrongly before, and I really begining to learn how to play correctly basing my playing mainly on breath support and I can tell you that the sound is so much richer, and the playing sensation is so great. 👍

Perfectly explained! Thank you.

Very on point and informative! Overblowing is the gateway to a whole host of trumpet problems. I developed a habit of doing it while playing in a loud soul band. Darn near ruined my playing. Thank you for this vlog and your book. I will try to schedule a few lessons soon!

very nice video Frank and knowledge. I posted a video that Arturo Sandoval shared on his Fb of two classes I had days go. Although I said something about the air support I focused that day more on the importance of using the same embouchure, demonstrating it from lower double C to high double C. and a lot of that has to be with what you're saying about the air. Here is kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLCHZtJ3mNW3epc.html

is too difficult to learn from you cause you go to fast and you do virtuosism that dont help the new student to learn any hingh. Sossy but you are bad teacher.

somehow your site is not opening....

thank you, thank you thank you,I knew it shouldn't be as difficult to play almost anything! WHY oh WHY do most teachers teach the wrong way?

Are you still doing lessons over skype and if so how do I sign up?

This reading and wastes too many words with what is coming next, etc. Poorly organized. Omit needless words. Unwatchable. Gosh! Smarten up, dammit!

It is bad teaching form to show us what not to do. That is an endless task and a fool's errand, a trap for a teacher. Show someone WHAT TO DO. AND DON'T CLUTTER THEIR MIND WITH BAD ALTERNATIVES. IT IS NOT NECESSARY. THIS IS TEDIOUS. FOCUS ON CORRECT AIR AND DON'T WASTE OUR TIME ON THE ALTERNATIVES. THEY ARE USELESS!!!! Bad teaching theory. If you taught boxing, would you spend two years on how not to punch? No, WHEN you could teach how to punch in two days, by avoiding the negatives. GOSH!!! Very annoying.

GUTEN MORGEN FRANK ! GRUß AUS DEUTSCHLAND.... NICE VIDEO !

My third video so far. Thank you sir, your instruction has opened my mind to the simple complexities of my instrument. Your approach has opened many doors. Thank you🙂

I liked your approach . would like to join [email protected]

I'll never be able to play that, I'm so frustrated, I think I'm gonna quit, goodbye forever trumpet!

Thank you for sharing this excellent video!

Its a fantastic instruction for our beginners!

🇧🇷

Great videos. Thanks. But "from the oyster comes the pill"(carlie parker) ? - didn't get it.

Hi Frank. Among a lot lot of different ways to play trumpet yours seame more relaxed, more "with the instrument" than others. There are a few clips of you playing - I like "Opus for trumpet" the most, but did you use the same technique then as you advocate now? Sincerely Erik, Denmark

I employ way too much air creating too much air....I needed your book

Thanks for presenting your didactics. I am tempted to buy your book.

Great Stuff man!!

Nice!! Bravo

Apologised the thumbs down caused by trying to scrolll up!

Thank you. You are the best teacher i ve ever seen.

I loved this!!! my sound changed instantaneously, and I stop getting pain in the palate playing just 5 min
