Episode 81 Hanging With Rich Colquhoun

My guest for this episode is Rich Colquhoun.

Rich is a man on a mission. A classically trained graduate of the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, Rich found that he was not completely prepared for the demands of the modern freelance trumpet player. His search for the solution to his playing problems led him to Jerry Callet and the Tounge Controlled Embouchure method. Since then, Rich has authored several books and developed a number of online resources to help trumpet players around the globe take their playing to new heights.

Check out what Rich has to say about his introduction to the teachings of Jerry Callet, the evolution of Jerry Callet's methods, the role of the tongue and compression, dealing with naysayers, revamping methodology, TCE and articulation, consistency, the separation of technique and music, his current playing demands, advice on getting started with TCE, universal principles, and so much more.

So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!
