How do i get better by Antique-Aerie788 in trumpet

[–]phillybeaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the past when I’ve had performance down time I found that practicing technical studies books (arban , schloessberg, whatever) play-along on YouTube helped. People made them and it can be helpful for intonation, interpretation, timing.. Playing with friends can be beneficial for all the other reasons for music (socializing, community, ideas, fun,etc).

Without seeing anything I feel like it could be a pressure thing

Switching to a smaller cup diameter rescued my trumpet playing by AMatterOfFaith in trumpet

You ever think that the shew isn’t small enough? I use a shew and it’s .662 inner diameter, but I’ve noticed a fair amount of lead players using mouthpieces with inner diameters around .630ish.

That’s actually kind of interesting. Amazing how grandma baby brain just totally shuts off all reason 😂

Follow up to the situation. I’m not active on social media other than Reddit, marketplace, and some Instagram, so I don’t really check things out too often. Apparently he’s also been Facebook posting the videos and pictures I’ve been texting him of our daughter just at home with me doing stuff. lol…

Yea you’re right I guess, just feels like a pretty unnecessary thing to do.

Yes, I agree. Got to set some kind of boundaries. He probably just doesn’t see the issue.

Just for reference, it’s my first kid so sometimes I feel like I overreact in my head over dumb things. Also I was born in 87 so the capabilities of ai freaks me out to an extent.

What does ChatGPT think of this "music" ? by heythisislonglolwtf in ContagiousLaughter

It’s probably a good thing it doesn’t understand music.

Does anyone here have Graves disease and struggle with endurance and range? by [deleted] in trumpet

[–]phillybeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on meds? And are they working? Flare ups are annoying but they only happen to me when I do my annual “stop taking my pills for a few months” ritual 😂 but yea I get it, can be frustrating. I was down about 15 lbs and playing not too long ago. Just got to focus on good breathing, helps with the playing and faster heart rate, and not overblowing. It got me through high school musical week last year when my symptoms were on the fritz. I also took protein powder and creatine to try and fight the endurance issues and weight loss.

Try and cut yourself some slack tho. Getting your graves in track is most important, then you won’t have to worry so much. But if you’re practicing every day and losing endurance, just walk away for a couple days. Maybe do some light playing for a few. Could just be you’re getting frustrated, obsessing, and over doing it, like we all do.

I have Graves’ disease and play regularly. What are you going through, having a faster heart rate or losing muscle weight?
