Greg Spence started the topic Brass Playing As Easy As ABC in the forum WindWorks 6 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi Greg,

playing the trumpet is as easy as ABC.

We had such a huge response to the ALPHABET session that I am dedicating this week’s session to every consonant and vowel!

It is a very eye-opening experience. Come and join us!

Cheers,
Greg and the WTA team.

Greg Spence replied to the topic tongue level thru the staff in the forum WindWorks 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Hey Phil, close your eyes and take a BCH breath and feel the tongue move away from the molars. Then slowly say yaaaayyyaaaaayyyaaaaaa (EYES CLOSED) and see what it feels likes.

Greg Spence replied to the topic Combination of aperture / tongue in the forum WindWorks 8 months ago

HAHAHAHA, I love your posts Laurie. You are experiencing, what we call at the Sunday Sessions,
WindWins.

You mentioned tapping in the above post. That is a very effective technique I use with Focal Dystonia treatment.

Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!

Greg Spence replied to the topic tongue level thru the staff in the forum WindWorks 8 months, 1 week ago

Hey Tom, that is totally fine that the tip of the tongue begins to articulate from higher up.

Ideally, you wouldn’t get any contact between the tip and the top lip as the articulation might be a bit thurtheeeeee (pronounced thur-theeeee haha).

As long as the back of the tongue stays low and open, and the Concert Hall is free, you’ll be in good…[Read more]

Greg Spence started the topic The LIP ZIP in the forum WindWorks 8 months, 1 week ago

Hi all! Introducing the Lip Zip.

MY GOAL: By the time I leave this planet, I want there to be NO CONFUSION, DOUBT, OR UNCERTAINTY about my ideas of how the mouth and lips work.

First, there was simply, “Firming the Aperture Corners” the horizontal inward movement of the Aperture Corners. People still sometimes think I mean the c…[Read more]

Greg Spence replied to the topic Rate my Allegro in the forum WindWorks 8 months, 1 week ago

Hey there Gauthier! There is some fantastic progress happening.

The flexibility, PASSIVE REDUCTION, and approach to the Singing C are all developing well. Just be sure to get the magnifying glass out to be sure you are remaining PASSIVE when necessary.

I have a small concern about the mouthpiece buzz, it is, in your case creating a bit of lip…[Read more]

I would also recommend The Jazz Piano Book by Mark Levine. It is HEAVY stuff but would highly recommend it to serious jazzers.

Greg Spence replied to the topic Carmine Caruso method of breathing in the forum WindWorks 9 months ago

Hey Tom, I’ll address this at Sunday Sessions. Breathing is slower through the nose and it sounds like you have an issue that will slow it further. Caruso isn’t suggesting you breathe through the nose when playing, it is merely a means to inhibit mouth movement when doing the exercises. Cheers
