For anyone on the fence about purchasing and using the 6/60 routine I encourage you to buy it. I started using 6/60 in Feb 2023. Since that that time my endurance, range and focus have improved. I suggest also that you read the foreword and afterword before you even play a note of the book. Doing so will answer many questions you have and of course the videos are a wonderful resource too. Thank you Chase for helping me get myself back in shape and improving too

Great explanations and demonstration!

I actually heard one guy-Scott Englebright, great lead player-say you shouldn’t play long tones. I thought that was a universal-that every pro player thought you should do them. But I guess there are no universals! So-buzzing has its advocates and detractors as you note. Supposedly, in Mexico, budding trumpeters weren’t even allowed to touch the horn for their first year-all buzzing. Rafael Mendez went through that system apparently.

Sort of unrelated question. Do you practice to the point of complete embouchure exhaustion? Like when you can no longer play anything above the staff. Or do you think is bad practice. Nice work on the buzzing series, thanks.

Mouthpiece buzzing first or leadpipe first?
