- Practice – Since the early 1990’s I have been saying the phrase to students “Sing, Buzz, Play” – over the next few months I will talk about that concept/process because I think it can help all of us to play better. There are sections in my book Daily Routines for the Student Trumpet Player that can direct you specifically, but some additional statements may help focus your attention so that you will give this a try in your own practice.

Sing– yes, use your voice- this helps improve pitch, establishes character and allows your inner musician to develop and be assertive. Imagination at work – a time to be creative and remember you are telling a story in music. Practical application for your developing imagery.
Buzz– this is the heart of the technical issues. Here lies the balance between embouchure and air control. A resonant vibration makes for a beautiful sound and proper use of air allows the embouchure to function more efficiently.
Play– playing the music thinking only of the phrase before you. Picking the note of climax or easing into a subtle final note. Where is the growing of intensity of the phrase going to happen? Remembering the goal of playing with abandonment (NO technical thoughts allowed). Remember in addition to the performance, practice hearing the positive response of your audience when you complete your piece.
Here is a beginning exercise to use as a warm-up and to enact the Sing, Buzz, Play process:
continue the pattern down the scale.
You want to Sing in a full, confident voice. Listen carefully to sing the intervals in tune. The mouthpiece Buzz should be a mezzo-forte resonate buzz, don’t force the sound and hold the mouthpiece gently on your lips. Play using lots of air and in a singing style. Listen and make your “best sound” !!

When you play the trumpet, having a clear attack for brilliant fanfare like passages is a must. Having a nice book with material that is varied makes the practice towards excellence a lot of fun. The Goldman Practical Studies for Trumpet published by Carl Fischer is often on my practice stand. Among my favorites are #11, #8, #1 and #4. Maybe #1 isn’t a favorite, but I find that I am always working on it to improve myself. You can play them in different keys once you feel like you need more challenges. Each exercise comes with a paragraph talking about style or the possible pitfall like rhythm that is present in addition to the tonguing practice itself. The cost is very affordable, so even with so many books to choose from this one should be in your library.
A new year- set your goals, making a practice plan and start being the player of your dreams.
