      I’m surprised JoshLandress isn’t on this list yet - besides being a great tech he sells a lot of nice horns. He’s a super nice person, too! I’ve bought horns from him,sold with him, and was a repair client when I was on the East Coast. I’ll throw in another vote for Trent Austin as well, who is one of my favorite people, and i’ve Had good experience with Dillon Music as well. There’s still some nice small business choices out there!

      My experience as a comeback player is consistent with what Dr. Mark described in his OP. After picking up trumpet again in August after not playing for a year, I regained what was lost in my general trumpet playing skill set surprisingly quickly.

      I can generally affirm Dr, GO’s remarks about fitness too. My fitness regimen focuses on aerobic training and exercises for chest and abs maintenance and development. Treadmill time, pushups, pull-ups, and crunches seems to be an effective formula for me.

      Since I just joined and saw this, I thought I'd pile on. I have been volunteering with BAA since its inception. A number of my recurring annual gigs came from those contacts and just the word getting around - in fact, my last gig and another I will be performing at a memorial service this week were a result of such direct contacts. The point is, the more we can accomplish together in serving these missions, the more good things tend to come back our way. I have not found where cynicism about this, regardless of how legitimate, has ever really served to accomplish anything. Thanks to everybody who contributes their time and talent to this endeavor.

      Dr GO

      A real loss for the trumpet community. My thoughts go out to his family in this loss.

      I met him personally after a lesson with Claudio Roditi. Claudio took me to his studio at the conclusion of one of our lessons, after we discussed mouthpieces influences on sounding of the trumpet. Jerome hand lathed a custom mouthpiece for my Olds Recording on the spot. He first identified a cup that worked best for me, had me play my horn, then took it to his lathe to work on the back bore. He did this 5 times going back and forth between my horn and his lathe. He did not charge me a dime for his expertise or his time!

      @administrator said in Range Improvement:

      Some good sources for range-improvement exercises include the studies by Bai Lin, James Stamp, Max Schlossberg, James Thompson, Cat Anderson, Carmine Caruso and several others. What works for one person may not necessarily work for another. Also, many university professors and qualified teachers can offer suggestions for exercises and can help you make a plan for progress. A private teacher is really a necessity for most musicians to progress. Even top-of-the-line professionals often seek advice from other professionals.
      This thread is here to aggregate suggestions and advice, as well as collect stories of success and progress to motivate others. Please note that not all advice in this thread will work for you or is from a qualified professional, but such is the nature of the Internet anyway.

      HI GA!,
      My beginnings with the stratosphere began in 10th grade with a band director who was more interested in winning band trophies than what was best for the students. By 11th grade we were playing basically a Maynard Ferguson show. I was blowing a hurricane throw a tiny hole and shoving the mouthpiece down my throat at the same time. How I circumnavigated injury is beyond me. I then started playing gigs in my hometown and blasting G above high C in a honky tonk bar just didn't cut it so I started playing more melodically taking a break from the stratosphere. When I did begin to approach the stratosphere again, I started very softly knowing that I must first play the note before I can add volume to the note. Possibly the biggest influence during this time was Mendez, basic research and a thin book called Lip Flexibilities by Chas Collins. I also changed my mind set. Instead of trying to get a hot compressed sound, I tried to sound more like a piccolo trumpet. Nice and controlled. Now, I can do both. Hot compressed sound and a nice piccolo sound. Not as nice as a piccolo trumpet but I think you get my drift. I treated the very high notes with equality to the other notes. I'm now flirting with a triple C. Often the lips will shut down but that's because I lose control of the wind and probably adding too much mouthpiece pressure. I have no idea where I would use such a note but I saw a video of Rashwan Ross doing it and I thought, "why not"
      Also, smaller aperture means less wind. I know it sounds counter intuitive but if the hole is smaller......need I say more?
      Here's a video of Rashawn showing Rapa how to do it

      @Kehaulani Indeed! I would be playing on that Christmas program next year. It is probably most well known for its choirs, but the orchestras and bands tour around the world as well and are amazing. I am quite excited to go there!

      @Kehaulani said in Help! I need to hit that high note!:

      Played better than a lot at North Texas, not as good as others.

      Did you play in the One O'Clock Lab Band?

      Hi Neal! I've been the in the hospital all week, sorry, just saw this. I did not play in the One O'Oclock, rather concentrating on composition and musical direction.

      Hope you are ok, Kehaulani.
