This is my third time of practicing tonguing and I decided to take a record of it. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/Qki3M5zrbxE
Making progress…
I deliberately moved away from mouthpiece after each note to practice the three-step Estela suggested above.
Ive been practicing slurs for a couple of weeks too.
@trumpetheadquarters thank you Estela, great tip! I just realised how I currently form the embouchure by relying on the pressure that was brought from the mouthpiece, rather than form it proactively. Will start to practice those three steps!
Cheers,
Mike
@crucified713 wow that’s sounding so great. I’m gonna give you one tip to make it even better. The very first note of set tends to be a little flat at first and then settles, as if it’s unfocused. To fix it follow these 3 steps carefully when you’re about to play:
- put your trumpet up
- set the embouchure muscles
- breathe through the corners and play
You want to avoid accidentally combining steps 2 and 3 into one.
great job!!
Nice job!! I think this is going perfectly. Keep practicing and post an update in a couple of weeks. As you spend more time on the horn and on a specific technique we will see issues arise if any and we can tackle them as we go. This recording was clear and I don’t see anything to worry about at this time.
