Hi All,

I have dusted the dust off of my horns (trumpet & flugel) after 5 years or
so and intend to resume playing in "club" bands once I'm up to scratch
again.

Years ago I was given a couple of video tapes with instruction from Roy
Roman on what he decribes as the perfect "no pressure" embrochure. I think the idea is that the lips don't need to be adjusted from the bottom of the staff right into the high register. I'm wondering if I should take the time to completely re-learn to play using this method, or if I should just get back into my old habits (and rely on long notes and scales). Endurance in
the high register was always a problem for me, as was finding the time to practise.

So, I want to know if anybody has heard of the Roy Roman method, and if it
is worth trying?

I look forward to everyone's opinion.

Cheers,

Gary.

Yes, I have. I have studied with Roy for years. He is a personal friend. The method is amazing and has changed my playing. I took time off to raise my kids. Now that they are grown I am playing again and rebuilding my chops with the method.
