Playing high on the trumpet doesn’t need to be difficult.
The Stratos Brass website has all the resources you need to help improve and streamline your embouchure from books on the embouchure written by the Embouchure specialist Marcus Reynolds to devices which will help train your embouchure to achieve those high notes with greater ease.
This high-quality embouchure system is simply attached to your instrument or mouthpiece whilst you play or practice. STRATOS Performer reduces mouthpiece pressure and ensures a good jaw position taking away the need to “think” about position and pressure. Practising with STRATOS Performer re-educates your muscles and nerves and allows you to adopt your improved embouchure position naturally, even after you remove it from your instrument. This allows you to concentrate on other aspects of your playing, and you can relax back into better and better performances. STRATOS Performer has been shown to help solve many embouchure problems. It also gives improvements in power, range, tone, and stamina allowing you to play with more ease and greater flexibility.
I’ve realised over the years that many problems with brass playing can be remedied with very methodical preparation of the facial muscles.
