Master Endurance Guide - www.trumpetlessonshq.com/mast...
This video teaches on the importance of playing softly on trumpet in order to improve range, endurance, tone and flexibility. Chris explains that many students come to him with challenges like poor range or endurance because they are overblowing. The solution is to practice softly. He demonstrates playing etudes from the Clark book pianissimo to show how practicing softly gives more control. Dynamics are relative, so you need to increase your dynamic range by exploring the extremes of both loud and soft playing. The speaker recommends a 'soft-loud-soft' long tone exercise from Caruso to improve dynamic control. Don't be afraid to let your sound get raspy at the loud dynamic or very airy and breathy at the soft dynamic - you need to find your limits. Applying this soft practice approach to Clarke studies improves endurance quickly. High notes can be played softly too by giving an extra 'puff' of air as Claude Gordon and Herbert Clarke taught. Controlling your sound with soft playing will draw the audience in, as demonstrated by the story of his friend's soft trumpet solo quieting an entire jazz club.
