Описание к видео Ep. 1 Tongue Position: The Secret to High Notes

"In this first episode of Ryan's Trumpet, I share an exciting discovery that made the upper register feel so much easier for me.

"Bringing together insights from several of my mentors (David Hickman, Newell Dayley, and a coaching session with Adam Rapa at this year's International Trumpet Guild conference), I demonstrate a concrete practice to help unlock the secrets of tongue position and free up the upper register."

Ryan's Trumpet is a recurring series that shares ideas and practices that have been extremely helpful to Ryan as a trumpeter, musician, composer, improviser, and teacher.
