Brass Mastery

Brass Mastery... What does that even mean? There's always something to work on; something that can be done better. Some thing that wasn't perfect. And even if we achieve some level of success on a brass instrument - have we truly mastered it? It's always two steps forward, one step back, isn't it? making the idea of Brass Mastery truly elusive. But what if our instrument is not the thing we should be trying to master. Maybe there's more to Brass Mastery than playing higher, faster and louder than the next guy. What if we are the ones we need to master? Our body, mind and spirit. And if we are able to master ourself, does it even matter whether we master our instrument? My name is James D. Newcomb, and in this podcast we will uncover the secrets of those who have seemingly mastered their brass instrument. We will dive deep into conquering those elements - body, mind, spirit (with just enough pedagogy to keep it real) - in hopes of taking our playing and our quality of life to the next level. Will some view this project as a high-minded fool's errand? Just another podcast that's trying to make a quick buck? Perhaps. But I'm willing to take that risk to see if Brass Mastery is truly possible. Will you join me? Then let's begin. brassmastery.substack.com

    **Please be sure to catch the link to a powerful testimonial about Greg's practice below! JN In this episode, Greg Spence of Mystery to Mastery and Denver-based amateur trumpeter Julie Baxes discuss experiences and strategies for overcoming focal dystonia. Recorded at the recent ITG conference in Anaheim, Julie shares her near-recovery journey from dystonia, while Greg explains how his Mystery to Mastery program unintentionally became a beacon for dystonia sufferers. Julie candidly describes her initial focal dystonia symptoms, her reconnection with Greg during COVID, and the intensive process of understanding and managing the condition. She recounts her personal struggles, including a misinterpretation of feedback from a conductor,which led to a great deal of personal shame.

Emphasized throughout the interview is the importance of stillness, error detection, and a step-by-step approach to remapping neural pathways.

  3. The Inside Story of Jason Harrelson’s Health Battles and How They Shaped His Trumpet-Making Mastery

    The Inside Story of Jason Harrelson’s Health Battles and How They Shaped His Trumpet-Making Mastery

    Jason Harrelson is the founder of Harrelson Trumpets, and has been universally reviled by professional trumpet players the world over as a peddler of snake oil, overrated, garbage, and much more. But he's been at it a long time, and so there's got to be some method to the madness! Jason and I first met in the early 2000's in the fledgling days of his now-successful trumpet-making business. He modified old trumpets into things that looked like spaceships. Did it make them play better? It's been so long, I honestly don't remember. But it sure looked cool! At any rate, Jason and I reconnected at the recent ITG conference in Anaheim, CA and he was game to record a podcast. I've now shared with you what you likely already knew about Jason. What you likely did NOT know is that Jason has suffered from mild heart attacks and mini-strokes his entire life due to a birth defect. In fact, around 2012, Jason nearly succumbed to a massive heart attack and stroke which left him alive, yet completely without memory of any part of his past. In this episode, Jason will share about his condition, his medical "event" as the doctors say, and the long road to recovery to form as not only a great trumpet maker, but as an exceptional human being. Episode Highlights: 00:30 Early Days and Unique Trumpet Designs 01:56 Personalization and Client Reactions 05:11 Health Challenges and Musical Passion 08:03 Living with a Hidden Disability 09:11 Experiencing Heart Attacks and Strokes 12:46 The Major Health Event of 2012 18:32 Seeking Medical Help: Finding the Right Doctor 19:54 Understanding PFO and Aura Migraines 22:30 The Role of Trumpet Playing in Health 24:54 The Road to Recovery: Overcoming Strokes 30:25 Relearning Life Skills Post-Stroke 36:20 Future Aspirations and Final Thoughts Resources mentioned: Harrelson Trumpets Brass Mastery YouTube channel About the Guest: Jason Harrelson, founder of Harrelson Trumpets, was playing a 60's Bach Stradivarius in 1992. When asked to trade horns for a few minutes, he took his friend's brand new Bach Strad 37 into a practice room and was promptly blown away. The new Bach played circles around his own horn! And his friend returned the vintage Bach complaining that it didn't play very well. This was the beginning of what has become the world's most comprehensive resource for the advancement of brass instrument technology. Jason began experimenting with trumpet design and the tedious work of dispelling hundreds of unfounded brass playing myths. Three years later, he began formally exploring the physics of sound and brass instrument design in the physics lab under the supervision of an accomplished acoustician. His mentor was the lead physicist working with Yamaha to re-design their line of acoustic guitars. Needless to say, Jason listened, learned and eventually dropped out of college to pursue his passion designing, building and performing a new breed of brass instruments.

    David Vining’s Focal Dystonia Recovery, and Efforts to Elevate Consciousness Among Brass Players

    Today's episode features an interview with trombonist/publisher David Vining, recorded at the 2024 ITG Conference in Anaheim, California. David was diagnosed with focal dystonia in 2003. In our interview, he discusses his struggles, eventual recovery through holistic movement therapies such as Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique, and body mapping and exposing the vastly understudied diagnoses and treatment of focal dystonia. Perhaps the biggest misconception about focal dystonia is that it is a physical problem. While the symptoms manifest in the physical realm, it is a distinctly neurological issue which disrupts musicians' fine motor skills. David's diagnosis and eventual recovery inspired him to establish Mountain Peak Music, which offers resources and materials aimed at promoting healthy playing and living habits, as well as taking a preventative approach to issues like dystonia. Episode Highlights: 01:25 David Vining's Musical Journey 04:37 The Onset of Focal Dystonia 05:43 Diagnosis and Initial Struggles 09:24 Exploring Treatment Options 18:34 Movement Therapies and Recovery 25:29 Redefining Embouchure and Global Awareness 26:46 Rafael Mendez a Model of Overcoming Adversity 27:54 Recovering from Focal Dystonia 29:33 Founding Mountain Peak Music 30:19 The Breathing Book and Body Mapping 32:32 Innovative Learning Materials 36:49 Success Stories and Cross Training 45:02 Challenges with High Brass Players 46:42 Final Thoughts and Advice Resources mentioned: Mountain Peak Music About the Guest: Trombonist David Vining is the founder of Mountain Peak Music, a publishing company devoted to offering innovative, healthy teaching methods for all musicians. Mountain Peak Music represents Mr. Vining’s personal mission, combining his extensive performing and teaching background with insights learned through his remarkable recovery from embouchure dystonia. His Mountain Peak Music publications include the Breathing Book series, Flow Studies, Daily Routines, Long Tone Duets, Trombone Intonation Mastery, Dueling Fundamentals for Trombones, Cross Training for Musicians, The Big Book of Sight Reading Duets, Teaching Brass, and Rangesongs. Currently Professor of Trombone at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona, Mr. Vining has also served on the faculties of the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music and the University of Kansas. Professor Vining’s teaching transcends his trombone specialty, covering a wide range of topics appealing to musicians of every discipline. He is equally at home teaching trombone technique, helping instrumentalists and vocalists become more efficient, and helping musicians cope with injuries, among other topics. Mr. Vining is a dynamic performer who has delivered hundreds of recitals nationwide. As trombonist with the Chestnut Brass Company, he recorded several CD’s and toured the United States and Europe performing recitals, masterclasses, and concerts with orchestras.

  7. How to Play Great Without Hurting Yourself + Insider Stories From the Hollywood Scene feat. the Great Malcolm McNab

    6월 2일

    How to Play Great Without Hurting Yourself + Insider Stories From the Hollywood Scene feat. the Great Malcolm McNab

    Malcolm McNab is quite possibly the greatest trumpeter in the world that you've never heard of. I recall a friend of mine back in 2008-09 timeframe putting in Malcolm's CD Exquisite, and being unable to believe what I was hearing. The range, the accuracy, the musicality. My friend said something along the lines of, "This is the guy who played the lead part on Jurassic Park." "Oh," was my reply. Why is it I've never heard of this guy?! One of this life's great injustices is that the musicians on those movies we've grown up with do not get proper credit for their work. The music makes or breaks the movie. Any director or producer will tell you that. The Hollywood scene is not one with which I have any familiarity, so I'll keep further judgment to myself. But suffice it to say I'm grateful to be able to share some of Malcolm's thoughts with y'all listening into the podcast. We began talking about the great Raphael Mendez, including an incredible story from his childhood that very well could have contributed to him being such a kind and generous person on and off the stage. And talking with a great master of his craft, the conversation naturally drifted into pedagogy, as well as some cool stories of Malcolm's interactions with some of the elite Hollywood directors and producers, including Steven Spielberg making a cameo appearance playing clarinet on Jaws. Yes, it's that kind of episode. Enjoy! BTW, I have an extremely limited number of Malcolm's CD's available FOR FREE. Yes, no cost. Malcolm had some of his CD's with him at the conference, and he told me to just give them out to people. So tune in to the very end of the episode to learn how you can get a copy of one of Malcolm's CD's for free (if you can pay for shipping, it's appreciated but not required.) Episode highlights: -The incredible story of Raphael Mendez being conscripted into Pancho Villa's army as a child...04:20 -Raphael's firing from a studio gig became the catalyst for his great solo career...08:30 -Raphael's story as told in an opera has sadly been lost to posterity...13:36 -How Malcolm continues his legacy by passing on his knowledge to others with lessons and camps...21:22 -Looking for the "sweet spot" with the tone and pitch...28:52 -If you can master the physical side of playing, it naturally has a positive effect on your mental and spiritual wellbeing...32:30 -Breaking into the Hollywood music scene and making connections with some of the great filmmakers...45:51 -The future of "Camp McNab" in wake of the pandemic's devastating effects...57:38 -Suffering in life comes full circle years later...1:05:48 -Plus whatever your discerning ears deem worthy of your time and interest...

It's a FREE download available right now on brassmastery.com! About the Guest: Malcolm Boyd McNab was born in Cleveland, Ohio on March 25th 1943. That summer, his family moved out to California where he was raised in the San Gabriel Valley. He began studying the trumpet at the age of nine, with his father Boyd McNab as his first teacher. Later, he studied with Pasadena trumpet teacher Walter Laursen, and performed with the Pasadena Symphony at the age of fourteen while still a student at Mark Keppel High School in Alhambra. In 1958 at the age of 15, Malcolm began playing with the Young Musicians Foundation Debut Orchestra under conductors Dr. Miklos Rosza, Lawrence Foster, Gerhard Samuel and Henry Lewis.

    Being Okay With Being “Unokay” and Overcoming Shame to Achieve Peak Performance feat. Jason Bergman

    Body + Mind + Spirit = Mastery. Now available is a collection of excerpts from some of the most popular episodes of the Trumpet Dynamics podcast featuring the likes of Chris Coletti, Sergei Nakariakov, Manny Laureano, and more. It's a FREE download available right now on brassmastery.com! brassmastery.com/bergman When I first approached Jason Bergman about appearing on the Brass Mastery™ podcast, the first thing I asked him was, "What do you want to talk about?" It's always best to play to the strengths of your guests when one is doing a creative endeavor such as this. Jason replied he'd like to delve into the realm of self-care as it pertains to teaching brass instrumentalists. As professor of trumpet at the prestigious Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, Jason has learned a thing or two on this topic (or one would assume), so I agreed to discuss this on the show, eager to hear what he has to say on the topic. The thing we ended up talking about the most is how shame affects our self-perception as musicians, hindering our musical output and progression - to the point some even get discouraged and leave music as a serious pursuit altogether. What is the root cause of this shame and deleterious effects it has on us? Jason opens up on some of his own setbacks as a performer and teacher, and shares some of the innovative teaching techniques he employs at IU to confront the many barriers we put up that inhibit our progress as musicians and play to the best of our ability. Episode highlights: -Brief rundown of Jason's academic career...03:00 -Giving credit to impactful figures who don't seek the spotlight...05:15 -One seemingly insignificant thing we say today may make a massive impact in the future...07:45 -Jason's founding origins on trumpet and music...11:20 -The students became the mentor...17:35 -Self-awareness, and the need to care for one's self in order to best help those charged to our care...22:50 -An examination of shame and how it affects our mindset and overall wellbeing as musicians...29:00 -We get ourselves tied up in knots when we're thinking about the notes vs. the musical product...36:00 -When you're "okay with being unokay" the mistakes magically dissipate...38:40 -"A rising tide lifts all ships" i.e. when one succeeds, all succeed...41:40 -Meat therapy, and how Jason decompresses during down time...46:10 Resources mentioned: Brene Brown videos About the Guest: American trumpeter Jason Bergman was appointed Associate Professor of Music in Trumpet at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in 2022.  He has performed throughout the United States, South America, Europe, and China. In 2008, Bergman was named Associate Principal Trumpet of the Santiago Philharmonic in Chile and more recently has been Principal Trumpet of the Mobile Symphony Orchestra and Mobile Opera. He has also performed with the Utah Symphony, Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, Dallas Symphony, Dallas Opera, Fort Worth Symphony, and the Dallas Winds, including on their Grammy-nominated album featuring the music of John Williams. Additionally, Bergman has performed in concert with the Canadian Brass, Rhythm & Brass and with conductor David Robertson at Carnegie Hall as part of the Weill Music Institute. He also performed as a fellow at the Music Academy of the West.  Bergman has given recitals and master classes at numerous institutions worldwide and has performed and presented at the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic, College Music Society, International Tuba and Euphonium...
