How can I improve my range and tone quality?

How can i increase my range on playing the trumpet?

  • well when i had braces, I had a pretty good range and tone quality on the trumpet. Ever since yesterday, the day i got my braces off, i noticed a drastic change in my tone and range. My range hit rock bottom and my tone is very scratchy. Is there any way to help improve my tone quality and range on my trumpet? thank you for your help.

  • Answer:

    dont clench your teeth when you play. keep the air flow open and relaxed. find a warmup routine or do some lip slurs. when lip slurring, stop when it hurts. you dont want to get an injury. a proper warmup is key and doing this everyday should fix both problems.

I would try hitting the highest note you can and holding it for 5 seconds. Then 10 seconds and so on until you feel comfortable with the note. Then, try going up a half step and repeat the process. Then, when you practice again, start with the first note you started with in the beginning. It's a long process and takes a lot of work but, in the end it should work. I would also recommend taking private lessons. They help a bunch. Hope this helps.
