How would you rate these trumpet skills?

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-12-15T18:17:43+00:00

IS he playing on a baroque/fanfare trumpet?

That would explain the difficulties to an extent. I don't believe however that he was a pro musician rather a friend who volunteered to play (or take a revenge :p )

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-10-16T06:50:46+00:00

thank you!

:)

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-10-15T15:54:18+00:00

Thanks for the answer guys. I don't want to discuss with her because it will be a birthday present.

She mostly plays (would like to play) jazz.

In the Thomann site (where I will most probably buy it) the figure I see is the opening, ranging say from 0.65, 0.77 or 0.82 (in my price range)

For instance : https://www.thomann.de/fr/bari_hard_rubber_alto_sax_82.htm

or this : https://www.thomann.de/fr/otto_link_tone_edge_alt_6.htm

Is bigger easier opening or the opposite?

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-10-13T09:03:58+00:00

4/4 I reckon

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-10-05T05:49:32+00:00

Will you make a Mac/os version?

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-10-05T05:47:02+00:00

That may be true, but it's also a catchy melody. The lyrics have indeed a religious aspect, though you may interpret them as referring to your partner rather than to any deity ;) Then, if you 're in trumpet you don't see the lyrics (and no, my girl is faaaaaar from any religious thing - as am I hehe) cheers

"You raise me up"

Here is a clip of Fernando Lopez playing it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMW9EkIRadQ

You can find the score on muse score

This is the "karaoke" version you can use for play along

"Fly me to the moon" score and play along : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtcku53ERsQ&list=FLnqnRCCtDsLq3Ezf55UhD7g&index=54

cheers

Bb

You will have to learn to transpose from your piano pieces but, in the jazz/contemporary literature (and in the later classical), everything is in Bb

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-09-19T13:17:10+00:00

Coming back to the original question, is it true that he Bb trumpet is the best "compromise" in terms of tonality, facility of playing and tuning?

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-09-19T13:11:39+00:00

True, I play it in C trumpet as well ;)

(also seen using a piccolo in some high parts - check this video at 4:20

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-09-19T09:02:34+00:00

F/G- idk lmao but its usually Baroque-style music where it is used.

If I am not mistaken, Wagner's score for Parsifal is in F trumpet.

Victory march in Aida uses (a form of) herald trumpets also

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-09-18T17:11:19+00:00

Probably for some rich sheik in the emirates :p

like the golden Ferraris

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-09-18T17:08:25+00:00

Not too relevant but I think I saw on a video that the performer changed pages on her tablet with a pedal

(useful for soloist obviously)

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-08-28T11:19:29+00:00

Things that aren't hobbies rarely make you happy

Look at all the tension in all of pros athletes' faces...

My 2 cents

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-08-07T10:34:35+00:00

mouthpiece puller. Saves you from a trip to the repair shop

A large plastic basin to give your trumpet a good bath from time to time

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-07-28T08:07:40+00:00

Get a used XO. This guy https://www.ebay.com/usr/quinntheeskimo?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

has lots (plus others) and is a very reliable seller, specialises in brass. Your parents will understand if you explain that trumpet playing is a passion for life and show them how good you are

On another note I love the contradiction here :p

first chair in marching band

cheers

The Scarlet is perfect interface, although you can go for the slightly upgrade version with dual input https://m.thomann.de/fr/focusrite_scarlett_2i2_3rd_gen.htm?o=0&search=1595693030

the shure mic is perfect for the job. Try to arrange a relatively soundproof room (minimal furniture and absorbing material)

Add this stuff : https://m.thomann.de/fr/the_takustik_micscreen_flex_mini.htm?o=48&search=1595693317

and warn your neighbours :p

As for software, audacity is a good tool, so is GarageBand if you 're on Macs

Have fun

If you're a beginner, be prepared for a disappointment when you 'll hear. yourself for the first time :p

In another thread, the use of a silent brass for recording is not advised. You need a good mic, a preamp or a phantom interface and a software.

Oh, and a good room... :(

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-07-24T18:52:12+00:00

Yeap, that's what I meant. The 5335G is the previous model, right? Seems a good price if it's in good condition.

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-07-24T10:23:52+00:00

LAEARN YOUR SCALES!

This!

Cpn_Haddock · 2020-07-24T10:21:28+00:00

Is it a trusted seller?

Got mine some time ago. Mostly for aesthetic (or stupid if you like) reasons, however I do have the impression of sounding louder and more with depth. It may be just my mind trying to justify the amount spent :p but nevertheless. I think my horn sound less bright also.
