Book Reviews of A Mouthpiece Buzzing Routine for Trumpet
Book Review: Want to play better? This really helped me.
Summary: 5 Stars
Trumpet playing is something that's consumed all but four years of my life...more than half a century. Professional? No, more like semi-professional. And I faced the same problem every trumpet player will face at some point: it just wasn't working well, easily, pleasurably. Lynn Asper's work came to my attention through the recommendation of another trumpet player, someone I admired and trusted. I also had the great good fortune of living close enough to Lynn so that I could take advantage of some lessons. That's when I came into contact with "A Moutpiece Buzzing Routine for Trumpet" and his earlier work, "A Physical Approach to Playing the Trumpet." My question was then "Where were you when I started playing so that I could have done it right, right from the start?" Well, a silly question, but the teaching embodied herein is not silly. It's so foundational and so fundamental that it is now a part of my everyday warmup and practice. It might also be a value to yours. The result for me has been better playing, more endurance, better sound, and a highly focused approach to the art. Asper offers a no-nonsense approach, demystifying the science of making good sound in a way that will strengthen and not tear down the embouchure of the player.
Certainly Asper makes and sells mouthpiece vizualizers but there's no reason you can't make your own if you have the tools and skills (maybe something like a Rotozip?). I don't. I bought one and it has become the centerpoint of my warmup. It's a tool that works and allows me to see what I'm doing in a way nothing else does.
I recommend Mr. Asper and his body of work to anyone who wants to seriously study the instrument. His goal is to create better players, happier players, men and women who want to make joyful music all their lives.
