    This is far and away the absolute best trumpet pedagogy video on YouTube.

    Classical players often have these esoteric "trumpet is just like meditation" ideas, but most developing players have technical faults that require direct language and conscious correction and no amount of sitting in a lotus posture will fix them.

    Great explanation and teaching on mindfulness in playing. Nicely, nicely done.

    This is my 6th time watching this video and I’m still trying to decode it😅 it’s all very simple stuff but it goes by so fast I have to write things down to make it make snse

    I can relate to a lot of what is being said here. I think it’s going to help me. Could you expand a bit on “polished decay on every note”? About 1:15 in. Thanks. Peter

    That posture can easily become a rigid harness. To be relaxed and postured at the same time needs guidance or luck. For a beginner, nowadays I would first go for relaxation, then for easy and full breathing from relaxation and only then ad posture to it from the perspective of the breathing.

    I'm really hopeful working on this might help me get my stoopid overactive brain out of the way while I'm trying to play music. When I'm unable to execute passages that are difficult for me, it's almost always due to my brain over-thinking and tripping me up.

    Great advice, thank you! Is that a CarolBrass Giuffredi?

    It is not Zen, it is simply Alexander's technique: habits and direction
  • @MarioSilva-jg5nh
    Every skill on the trumpet is learned until it feels natural then you follow the feel to improve it and stretch the ears.
  • @jaegertiger384
    If posture is consistent... then it's "natural" and you are more relaxed.
