Posted: Fri Jun 30, 2023 6:32 am Post subject: Six Notes - when? |
|
|
This has probably been answered before, but I couldn't find it. Sorry. It pertains to when to play the Six Notes. As I recall, there was some differing views regarding when.
I was just reading The Caruso Band Method and he writes: "The Magic Six Notes should always be your first daily exercise". When he says "Exercise" does he mean Routine or does he mean to place that in the Exercise category after you warm up? Or is it the first blow of the day? Thanks. _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird

Early in your routine, but not necessarily the first thing.
Ways I've seen it done/prescribed:
1. first notes of the day
2. after some kind of short warmup (on the horn, leadpipe blowing, mouthpiece buzzing, free buzzing, mix of those)
3. after a couple other calisthenic type exercises but still in the first half of your first session of the day _________________ More than one trumpet

You quoted in your question EXACTLY what Carmine said to do - play it as your first daily exercise. Don't overthink it, just do it as the very first thing you do when you take the horn out of the case. If you want to do a little lead pipe buzzing first, there's no harm in that, but make the 6 notes the 1st thing that you do on the horn.
You didn't ask, but I like to leave the horn out all day long, and every time that I pass by, pick it up and do the 6 notes again, even if I'm not planning to practice at that time. It takes a minute or less. If you do it multiple times a day, you'll always be ready to play, you'll barely need to warm up. _________________ Tom Barreca |

When I studied with Carmine the 6 notes were always the first notes of the day.
I usually followed with the interval studies. |

So using Marcus Stockhausen's Essential Caruso would seem to be a good warn-up?
