Aperture part 2! Using Tom Hooten's "Embosure" and Lynn Asper's visualizer to develop a more effective, efficient embouchure and aperture.
Through sheer dumb luck, dogged curiosity, and a little universe juice, I learned some incredibly helpful things at the last International Trumpet Guild conference that I wanted to share with all of you; chatting with Tom Hooten (www.tomhooten.com) and Wiff Rudd (wiffrudd.com), I am coming into a new understanding of the trumpet embouchure that is addressing a life-long challenge for me as a trumpeter: the "clinch." (Clinching or bracing my throat when I go to start a note.)
This is NOT a paid advertisement (probably should be, ha!). I've just stumbled into something that is really helping me as a player, and wanted to share it with all of you.
You can find Tom's Embosure here: embosure.com
And Lynn's visualizer here: www.trumpetbook.com
It's so good to be back!!! Please keep those questions coming! Here comes season 2 . . ..
