I have braces so no matter what I do play trumpet cuts my inner lips so I’m not really worried about hurting my chops anymore

Been there! Even with braces, you shouldn’t experience cuts for too long. Eventually, you grow calluses. Still important to think about taking care of your chops!

@@ImPsychoReal If you practice regularly, and play every day (it doesn't need to be a lot. At least 20 minutes daily is enough for now) then yes, your lips will stop cutting. You'll always feel texture there, from the braces imprint, but they shouldn't cut. I only know this because I went through braces as a trumpeter, and have taught many students with braces. Stick with it either way, it will get easier and more fun to play once your braces are off!

There are also soft plastic braces 'covers' that your orthodontist can get for you and fix the problem immediately. they just snap over your brackets.

Also, shakes are used in orchestra or band for pieces such as Mambo from West Side Story Symphonic Dances. They are also cool for cadenzas or the end of concertos or in some solo pieces for extra effect.

Very nice explanation video! Though I have one question: what kind of mouth piece do you use? I play lead in a couple of bigbands and I'm trying to find the best fitting mouth piece that works with playing lead and gives my chops enough space for lip slurs.

Hey Mick! I use a Stork Studio Master XV6 but I've been experimenting with the Lotus XS and really enjoying it. It took me a long time to find the right fit for me, and part of it was my approach to playing small mouthpieces. In particular, I was using too much pressure, and was overblowing on the smaller mouthpieces. Good luck!

Something I've never heard mentioned by trumpet players that raise and lower their tongue to ascend and descend is that not everyone has the same roof of their mouth. I've talked to my dentist about this and he said I have a really high roof of my mouth. Some people can't even bite an x-ray film because they have a low roof and don't have room up there. But no trumpet players have ever addressed this. I've searched for it!! It seems like the air has a further path for some of us to raise tongue all the way up and when that happens the tongue moves back in my mouth. I talked to the dentist about having a partial made with no teeth to lower the roof of my mouth. Any comments?
@AdamMeckler

Interesting question. There is a professor at Lawrence University in Appleton WI who was studying the mouth cavity by planting cameras inside while people played, but it was all surrounding saxophone. I wonder if anything came out of that study that could be useful for you. I also have a high roof, and had some work done when I was young to lower it. I haven't thought a lot about this potential issue, to be honest. Good luck!
