Everything we play on the trumpet requires a smooth, continuous airflow. But this is easier said than done! In this lesson, Allen shares a brand-new progression that takes you from a long tone, through a slurred half-scale, up to a triple-tongued arpeggio, in a logical and approachable way, all to help you play more smoothly and with good technique.

    Great thoughts on consistent music making. Is it my imagination that Allen is looking quite a bit like Doc?!!

    first, what an incredible lesson! around 4:13 that perfect 698Hz speaks so clearly it sounds like it was EQed to pop out. al's tone is nuts

    Great lesson, Allen. And what you say really applies to all the woodwinds as well-smooth, steady, supported airstream and accurate fingers. Relaxed, calm. Great lesson for players of any level-it gave me a new insight on something I hadn't thought about for a long time! Thank you! I hope all is well with you-it's been several years since we crossed paths. Playing with you, hearing you, was-and is-always a real treat! All the best-JG

    Can you please share more stories about Timofey and his approach?
  • @da11king
    I still didn't get his sophisticated lesson. I want a one-on-one private lesson with him. 😅

    Does anyone else see when he takes a breath at 4:12 it looks like his whole torso expands but his shoulders do not raise at all? How does he do that?
