How I wish someone had told me sooner, you have to experiment and figure it out for yourself and search wait for the best sound and then build on that, no one has the same lips! Thank you Jeff!

Finally someone who doesn't impose an embouchure as the one and only ''correct" way to play the trumpet. Way to go

@@JeffLewisTrumpet Totally agree with Miguel. Most trumpet teachers (and their disciples) are absolutely wedded to the method they teach, usually because they also sell that method exclusively. Herbert Clarke was said to have changed his embouchure entirely multiple times in his career, particularly as he got older. Doc Severinsen says trumpet playing only got hard for him when he turned 50, noting at 92 years young, he still plays brilliantly and was quoted in an interview not long back saying he was now using lip buzzing as a key component of his practice routines, which was something he only ever did very briefly in his warm ups as a younger player. The entire Claude Gordon brigade have kittens when anyone mentions mouthpiece or lip buzzing, yet the James Stamp crew swear by it. Check out the late Clarke Terry's comments on this video as to how he thought players should learn to play trumpet, kzitem.info/news/bejne/xotpqqyYh5x9iWk That's entirely the opposite view to most methods that teachers preach now days, but who could argue that whatever Clark Terry practiced certainly worked well for him? So Bravo to you Jeff - a rare, balanced view approach to embouchure. We all have different faces, we all seek different results from our engagement with the horn. Find out what works best for you as an individual, and most importantly Make Music you enjoy as the outcome of your practice efforts.

Thank you so much! When I moved to mellophone and tried to go back on trumpet, my embouchure was completely wrecked. This video helped me hit high c’s again !!

I'm started to learn trumpet by my own. I'm a 51 years old young player and I'm using your lessons alongside some books and other KZitem. So thanks a lot to share with us. I appreciate your way of giving advises, and the different options we have then to experiment by ourselves to thing THE one that's works fine. Some says do this do that no way this is the truth. Well honestly I lost some time at the beginning, ok six month back only, to try to force myself with technique not appropriate for me. So thanks again and greetings from France.

Great video Jeff. I'm trying to comeback after 40 years away. I had a smile embouchure and ran into the limitations of the "Farkas". Your videos, site, and approach are super helpful. I learned on classical music which didn't inspire me. This go around, I wanna learn to play jazz. Please keep up the great work.

I’m a trombone player, but I still really enjoyed this video! I have already set a sound I like, but this video was very cool and made me think about different things I can tell my students who are struggling with sound and perhaps do a little experimentation myself just to work with different timbres of sound.

Began with a curled under set up but found limitations to it. My brass repair man suggested trying unfurled approach. It took some time to adapt to the whistling lip formation but after some time all my embouchure complaints vanished. My sounds is much better, my endurance is far better and my range has improved.

I play F horn and I always wanted to experiment with playing with a more rolled out embouchure, I sound much better although it feels less "stable" and slippery too me. Also I always here "don't play on the red of your lips" and I don't really understand what that means

Playing "in the red" refers to the red part of the lip resting on or out of the mouthpiece as opposed to inside the mouthpiece in regards to the top and bottom lip.

Only on KZitem. Things are going pretty well right now I so I don’t want to mess with it yet. I probably will try it in the future just to be familiar with it. You?
