ENDURANCE
Many older players returning to the trumpet have ‘lost it’ from what they remember being able to play in their teens and 20’s.
A) What are your intentions?
1. Playing for fun (we’re done, keep practicing and have a good time!)
2. Playing for a goal or purpose in mind, continue reading...
B) What kind of goal?
1. Are you trying out for a dance band or group?
2. Do you want to play professionally?
3. Do you want to join an orchestra?
C) What time commitment is involved to achieve your goal?
GENERALLY SPEAKING, to have any level of skill when you go to the horn, you have to have a solid base of practicing for many months/years. If you are starting over again, GIVE YOURSELF TIME to get your chops back. IT WILL TAKE LONGER for your lips and body to adjust to the new demands. Let’s face the facts, it gets harder to play, the older we get. A general rule for practicing is this: decide upon your goal and determine what it will take to reach that level of playing. You must practice every day, or you will ‘loose it.’ As stated by many: “The first day you miss practicing - you know it. The second day - the band leader knows it. The third day, the audience knows it!”
My personal practice routine is the following:
A) One half to two thirds of my time is spent ’warming up’ (from my book)
B) The Clarke Technical Studies Many exercises from chapter 2, 3, 4, and 5 - Great chop and finger calisthenics, (I especially need these as I am left handed)
C) Standard trumpet repertoire: Etudes, Pieces and Songs
The Ultimate Warm Up for Trumpet
(1) Air Moving
(2) Lip Buzzing
(3) Mouthpiece Work
(4) Long Tones
(5) Tonguing
(6) Flexibility
(7) Scales
(8) Range Studies
(9) Musical Phrasing

The Trumpet
Trumpet [Fr. trompette; Ger. Trompete, It. tromba, Sp. trompeta]. A soprano brass instrument commonly about 1.4 m. (4 1/2 ft.) in tube length, folded twice to a narrow rectangular shape about 35 cm. (14 in.) long. The trumpet is the highest brass instrument in register, above the tuba, euphonium, trombone, sousaphone, and french horn. A person who plays the trumpet is called a trumpeter or simply, trumpet player. Its powerful tone is created by lip vibration against its cup-shaped mouthpiece. A trumpet consists of a cylindrical tube, shaped in a primary oblong loop that flares into a bell. The brass family can trace its ancestry back to herald trumpets, hunting horns, and military bugles. The valved trumpet was developed in the 1820s. Modern trumpets also have three piston valves as well as small, secondary tubing that act as tuning slides to adjust the tone. Most trumpet parts since about 1900 are written either for Bb trumpet, sounding one tone lower, or for C trumpet at concert pitch. Its brilliant sound has since made it indispensable in a wide variety of ensembles. |
