Einstein On The Beach Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 hmmm....trumpet technique.......that's an oxymoron, right?Just kidding my upper brass brothers and sisters! :P Hmm The trumpet is the hardest of all the brass instruments, aside from the french horn (but that's just a given) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melligene Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Just concentrate on fluttering the very tip of the tongue. As with tonguing, it doesn't take much to momentarily stop the flow of air. Don't focus on the whole tongue; just lightly flutter the tip. If you can tongue notes, you can flutter. I'd forget the piece for a moment and practice on lower to medium range scales at a mezzo piano volume. The least amount of lip pressure on the mouthpiece also helps. Kinda lets everything vibrate. Works for me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flervinuveling Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 i can flutter-tongue, but i like the throat-growl thing better. the sound you make when you pronounce the 'ch' in bach, loch, or whetever. not just the 'k' sound, but the gutteral sound that sounds like you're haukin (sp?) a lugie (also sp?). you hear the sound in the german language a lot. i hope i explained it well enough. anyway, i just make that sound and hold it out while playing the trumpet to get the growl sound. it's kinda hard, but practice a bit and you can get it sounding pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
