Pierre Thibaud – Pedagogy.
1.We need to practice vocalize, the trumpet is like singing. All trumpeters should listen to Callas and Streisand;
2.You have to practice every day.
3.Pedals are important.
4 When practicing you need to alternate slur and staccato, simple double and triple and push on the speeds.
5.Practice the Clarke with all the variations in both major and minor. Caruso, Caruso and Caruso.
6. Practice about bending is very important, do it with the Schlossberg method, you must know by heart the studies of Reynolds, Charlier, Bitsch, Balay, Arban.
7. Sound and intonation must go on the same track. If you have a nice sound and you’re out of tune it won’t be of any use, if you’re in tune and you have a shitty sound it won’t be of any use. You don’t have to make a movie in your head but be realistic and study what isn’t going well yet. The trumpet is like a grenade it can explode at any moment.
