This video provides advice for Comeback Trumpet Players who are returning to the instrument after an extended break. It stresses the importance of practicing regularly, even if only for short periods each day, and following a balanced routine that works on all aspects of playing rather than trying to focus on just one problem area. The author recommends starting with breathing exercises and buzzing on the leadpipe, then moving on to long tones, flexibility studies, technical exercises, tonguing practice, and finally playing music. Recording yourself and listening back critically, as well as performing often even before you feel fully ready, are also suggested as ways to improve quickly. The key points are to be patient, focus on sound production and relaxed breathing, practice all facets of technique, and perform frequently in order to progress.
Common Challenges for Returning Players
The author lists the main issues returning players face: poor sound, limited range, lack of endurance, slow fingers, and sloppy tonguing. But he cautions against fixating on just one of these areas.
The Importance of a Balanced Routine
A balanced daily practice routine covering all aspects of playing is recommended over trying to only improve one specific skill. Trumpet playing requires the whole body working in harmony.
Components of a Good Routine
The article outlines a sample 30-minute balanced routine including breathing exercises, buzzing, long tones, flexibility studies, technique exercises, focused tonguing practice, and playing music.
Tips for Beginners Returning to the Trumpet
Complete beginners returning to the instrument after a long break should start with just 5 minutes of practice at a time and gradually build up endurance.
Perform Early and Often
Performing frequently, even before you feel fully ready, will help accelerate your progress and give you valuable experience unachievable through practice alone.
