Top 10 Things Brass Musicians Should Stop Immediately!

"My range went from High E above High C to a piercing Double A......"
- Michael Franklin, Come-back Player (re:Kurt's Upper Register Course)

Kurt Thompson, Maynard Ferguson Tribute Soloist and #1 rated Online Trumpet Teacher for the first six months of 2012 (America's Best Teachers Association), gives it to you straight in this book just as he does in his 4 Month Brass Upper Register Course!

"So you want better range and endurance"?

Why do very few brass players play so easily in the upper register - while you put up with painful mouthpiece pressure and extreme difficulty trying to ring out those high notes? What if there was a way you could, in a short period of time, improve your current upper register by as much as 3 or 4 or 5 notes, and possibly, Incredibly, 1 Octave! ...and double, triple, or quadruple your endurance - What playing opportunities and gigs would open up for you as a result?

"This trumpet program with Kurt was filled with useful techniques and exercises that I have incorporated into my routine. They have greatly improved my range and strength. Thanks Kurt!"
- Ari M., M.M.E. Freelance Trumpeter (re:Kurt's Upper Register Course)

Here are just a few of the juiciest secrets I reveal in "TOP 10 THINGS BRASS MUSICIANS SHOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY" that have evolved over the last 4 years (I'll tell you later in this book how *you* can get your hands on the these powerful techniques at a discount on the original course tuition):

*The million-dollar Technique inspired by the legendary Bill Chase. (Don't laugh - but my brain was doing cartwheels and back flips when I first discovered this technique years ago! This one technique by itself will likely pop your range up a half step to 1 full note)

*Why any one method or technique (alone) won't ever work to build range for the majority of brass players i.e. Gordon, Cat Anderson, 37 Weeks To Double High C, etc...If you have been pounding away at one method for a long time with only mediocre results, you need to find out why so you can quite spinning your wheels!

*Common upper register principles that work well in theory and possibly on your couch at home - but fail miserably when you step in to your rehearsal or gig. Countless trumpet players, trombone players, tuba players, baritone players, and french horn players are making these deadly mistakes everyday - and don't even know that they're killing chops and endurance in the process.

*Why most known or mainstream trumpet and brass methods i.e. Gordon, Stamps, Caruso, Balanced Embouchure, T.C.E., etc.. won't spark true range building phenomena until you learn this very important secret!

*Why even the best trumpet players that ever walked the planet, couldn't even teach their own children how to play the trumpet! Incredibly, I am talking about both Maynard Ferguson and Maurice Andre. Both sent their kids to seriously study trumpet with someone else....kinda makes you involuntarily shake your head back and forth in disbelief, doesn't it? So, why did this happen?

*Why choosing a brass teacher who can demonstrate and play in the upper register is a MUST - Anything less and you will be left with your pockets empty and your chops still hurting! YOU MUST STUDY WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN PLAY AND TEACH - Don't settle for less....this one is a no brainer.

If you've ever dreamed of playing powerful and beautifully sounding notes in the upper register plus having last-all-night endurance, then you'll love this book!
