Question Title

* 2. What suggestions did Jim present when discussing trumpet tone production? Please check all that apply. (20 pts)

Play the horn at the same level that you would have in a conversation with someone.

You shouldn't think about buzzing. Instead, put air into the trumpet and the response back from the trumpet causes the lips to vibrate.

As everyone knows, it takes huge amounts of air to play the trumpet.

Buzz everything on the mouthpiece before playing it on the trumpet.

Question Title

* 3. Which comments were made regarding EQUIPMENT? Please check all that apply. (20 pts)

Find a trumpet mouthpiece brand and size that you like and require all of your trumpet students to purchase it.

One of the benefits of "stepping up" to an intermediate or pro-level trumpet is an improved valve mechanism.

It's suggested that when switching mouthpieces for different musical applications, keep the rim size the same.

Stepping up to a pro-level trumpet can raise your upper range as much as an interval of a 5th.

Question Title

* 4. Regarding developing a higher trumpet range, this was suggested. Please check all that apply. (20 pts)

Repetition and practice, including basics and exercises such as the Schlossberg series posted on the webinar landing page.

Blow LARGE amounts of air.

Learn where your "high note tongue position" is.

Think LINEAR. Don't think about having to reach up for high notes.

Question Title

* 5. Which points were made regarding students listening to jazz music. Please select all that apply. (20 pts)

We have an ever-growing list of sources to hear jazz music.

As educators, we no longer can say "Go listen to some Freddie Hubbard" because the amount of accessible music is so vast, it becomes confusing and the quality is so varied.

Students should be encouraged to listen to a single recording multiple times.

We should create an educational environment that encourages students to listen to quality recordings.

Question Title

* 6. In the discussion on playing in the section, which of the following comments was made. Please select all that apply. (20 pts)

When selecting a lead trumpet player, make sure it's not just a good player but a good leader.

When selecting a lead trumpet player, look for the player that has the best-developed upper range.

It's important that the lead trumpet player is locked into listening to the drummer, particularly the ride cymbal.

When balancing the voices of the trumpet section, the lead part should dominate in all cases.
