Berp #3 – Trumpet

Description

The Berp comes from the concept of mouthpiece buzzing, which has been used as a teaching technique for brass players for many years.

It helps you develop proper breath support by blowing into resistance, letting you buzz your mouthpiece while you hold your instrument in the regular playing position. The Berp also lets you press your instrument’s valves or move the slide to match the pitches you’re buzzing, so you gain ear-training benefits through reinforcing the connection between buzzing the mouthpiece and playing.
