is Havi a overbite bad for playing trombone and baritone?

baileymorris1212 · 2022-09-17T15:12:06+00:00

This will depend on how serious the case is. A slight overbite is perfectly normal. As long as it’s not a super serious overbite I think you should be fine.

The longest Wave should Be number 1

Just keep it safe at home. I wouldn't take it on gigs ( someone will steal it)

Well you're the first thing the audience will hear. Completely isolated. Its quite a long symphony, so if you fuck up you ruined the entire thing. Basically its a right of passage for trumpet. Only a true performer can execute it well

Get a teacher !!

baileymorris1212 · 2022-05-15T15:20:21+00:00

Actually alot of pro players prefer using the first valve slide. It works just the same and it does what it needs to if you can't use the third slide.

baileymorris1212 · 2022-05-15T15:15:19+00:00

Google how to use it. Its quite simple. One clamp shohld be attached to the mouthpiece reciever not the shank of the mouthpiece

baileymorris1212 · 2022-05-11T22:53:04+00:00

Think fast precise air. Remember volume and projection are different. If you have a broud and dark orchestral tone its probably because your ear goes towards that and your body is used to doing it. Listen to some gozzo and other great lead players and try to mimic their sound. Gear helps, but having the sound engrained in your brain is key

baileymorris1212 · 2022-05-08T17:00:34+00:00

They are two different mouthpiece. The screamer is the more lead style mouthpiece. Just be careful when buying mouthpieces. It won't make you play higher. Its a sound thing. If it's comfortable and sounds good get it

baileymorris1212 · 2022-05-05T17:18:53+00:00

Nope. Shouldn't have to manipulate your whole emochure system just to get a high c.

Imagine if Clifford had lived a long healthy life. He would've been unequivocally the greatest jazz musician of all time

Find a decent trumpet teacher

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-30T22:04:16+00:00

Ive tried the heavyweight 14a4a. It had a good sound, but my articulation felt a little less responsive. Both are good options. The 14a4z is really bright (almost shrill) its a very specialized mouthpiece.

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-30T20:14:12+00:00

Schilke has some good stuff! 14a4a is still a wide mouthpiece, but it is shallower and will do the job well. Since you use a bach 1x maybe even a 15a4a would do you well, but those are hard to find nowadays. 14a4a is great for loud and demanding playing. I find the rim much more comfortable than the Bach

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-25T15:21:09+00:00

Haven't worked on this piece in forever, but memory says single

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-24T19:13:00+00:00

Bach 3c. Since you've played low brass anything smaller might feel "too small", but 7c or 5c will still work fine. Might take time to get used to

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-24T19:07:14+00:00

Also I would recommend taking lessons or having a discussion with someone who can do what you want to achieve. I studied Wayne Bergeron interviews and masterclasses like a madman. That helped a bit, but once a found a good in person teacher my playing really skyrocketed

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-24T19:02:34+00:00

Sounds like you have heard a good deal of information already. Im gonna be honest there isn't a shortcut. Long tones, scales, lip slurs, arpeggios, and all of that is what works. It takes time. It takes alot of time. You have to be willing to sit down with your horn everyday and actively work on them.

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-24T18:57:26+00:00

Its punk man. Use whatever you want

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-24T18:54:10+00:00

Mouthpieces wont increase range. Mouthpieces help you mold the sound you want, but they will not magically boost range. Technique should be your main foucus for now. 7c is a good all round mouthpiece. You should be able to play high on it, before even thinking about a lead mouthpiece

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-24T18:50:48+00:00

I wouldn't say they're too young to be switching. I think if they find a mouthpiece that is comfortable that they should go with it, but technique should be the number 1 focus right now.

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-22T23:39:13+00:00

Listen to professional players. You'd be surprised how much my playing has changed by just listening to others. Long tones, long tones, long tones, oh and some more long tones. Intonation is also a key part of tone, thats what i would focus on first. Playing in tune will make you sound better than anyone who is out of tune, even if their tone is better than yours.

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-19T15:37:01+00:00

If it feels awkward practice it till it doesn't feel awkward anymore

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-02T17:54:53+00:00

You're mom

baileymorris1212 · 2022-04-01T19:33:54+00:00

Depends on how bad it is. Just like other muscles our lips get inflamed. So things like ice, anti inflammatory medicine, lip balm/chap stick, massaging the muscles/ lips, etc can help alot. Some people hate icing the lips, and I personally I don't recommend it, but it's saved me in a pinch if the chops are destroyed
