let's all take a moment to appreciate the production quality here! color, framing, lighting, sound, editing, and content. Well done.
-
If Arban is the written bible for trumpeters, this video is the movie bible. Charlie this is the most complete, rich, clear and straight forward video I've ever seen about trunpet playing. You are such a gift to us!!!

1. Lip buzzing/mouthpiece (glissando sirens); more volume low, less high. 2. Flexibility (mouthpiece gliss. as guide) 3. Vocalises and lyrical melodies (smooth air stream) 4. Long tones (active support muscles, play soft, breath attack with clear sound 5. Technical studies (play piano) 6. Actually play music (not just technical aspect, but in a musical perspective) 7. Endurance and range

3 years later and this is still the best trumpet lesson I have ever had. Absolute gold. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into teaching Charlie, it’s very much appreciated and has transformed my playing.
-
Without having completely watched it: This is pure magic, folks and everything you need to know when it comes to fundamental trumpet playing. Great stuff, Charlie! Let's catch up soon!
-
I actually play flute and sax and this is pure gold. I have never seen any sax player with such a concise sound concept. Of course there is a lot that needs adapting but the idea of an essentially unchanging embouchure is absolutely priceless. It takes some serious work and commitment but it’s absolutely worth it.
-
This is just pure straight sweet honey goodness. This is a gift to a Trumpet player at any level. Been playing for 44 years and yet I still learn and learn. Thank you my brother.
-
Only 68k views ? For me this is like the New Testament of how to practice ;) 🙌🙌 step by step. So friendly to understand but on a professional and high level. To get this knowledge for free feels simply wrong. Thank you Charlie !!
-
I began playing trumpet when I was 5yr. old. and loved music ever since - 73yr. now. I discovered Charlie Porter's videos casually roaming Trumpet videos on you tube. Charlie is the trumpet teacher and guide I've needed my entire life!!! From the standpoint of talent, knowledge and character,If you are sincerely motivated to learn how to play your trumpet the right way, look no more - he is as good as you're likely to find - probably better!!!
-
Soooo good to have Charlie Porter back! One of the few trumpet players who can play and teach. Loving the Monette btw
-
Yep, I’m another comeback player, and this video is brilliant. Just wish I’d had Charlie as my teacher, or his videos when I first learnt. Thank you Charlie.
-
Dear Charlie, If you keep giving such wonderful lessons on youtube we won’t need private sessions! Thank you
-
Dear Charlie, thanks a million. Your advice, yet again, is spot on. I have been watching this and several other videos of yours, and I enjoyed them all. I love the way you present your thinking and I am in awe of your kindness. I've been a trumpet player myself for close to 50 years, familiar with many of your conceptual ideas. However, it's fantastic to be reminded again and again. Much love, your friend Thomas Heberer

The best trumpet tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you Charlie so much.
-
I’ll have to save this one and come watch it several times. There is a lot here.
-
After 11 years of band to the college level, 6 years of private lessons, and 2 years of comeback after a 35 year layoff, this is by far the best one hour trumpet lesson I have ever had! Thanks, Charlie, for being so gifted in communicating these basic concepts that so many others have failed to explain so clearly.
-
I hope we all appreciate the value of these amazing videos from Charlie - a true trumpet legend. We could literally spend our entire life trying to find this information. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
-
I play the trumpet since 11 years now with privat lessons and I’m not able to buzz my lips like that, never saw it like that. Now I’m frustrated since I can’t figure it out, but you did a great job!
-
Taking lesson from a Grammy award winner is gold. That grammy cought my attention so I stuck around to here the whole lesson 👍🏽
-
Charlie is a national gem.
