Why do very few brass players play so easily in the upper register - while you put up with painful mouthpiece pressure and extreme difficulty trying to ring out those high notes? What if there was a way you could, in a short period of time, improve your current upper register by as much as 3 or 4 or 5 notes, and possibly, Incredibly, 1 Octave! ...and double, triple, or quadruple your endurance - What playing opportunities and gigs would open up for you as a result?
What if you could walk into a Big Phat Band rehearsal and take over for Wayne Bergeron on trumpet if he wasn't able to make it? What if you could play on tuba the Carnival of Venice the way Roger Bobo did? What if you could fearlessly play any impossible french horn part the way Dale Clevenger did? What if you could step out on stage and play one of Dave Steinmeyer's buttery high note trombone ballads?
..... then life would be good and you would want to live to be 150 years old!
If you could take just one program that shows you how to skyrocket your upper register on trumpet, trombone and other brass, where most mortals only dream, this is it. I dare you to complete this entire program and not change the way you play and sound in the upper register.

If you've ever wondered what the single most important skill is for any brass player(trumpet, trombone, etc..), that when mastered, would single-handedly account for more success than any other skill, I would tell you, without a doubt -- it's the ability to play accurately and powerfully in the upper register. Think about it: How well could you sightread with a 1 octave range? Very Poorly!How well could you improvise with a 1 octave range? Very Horribly! How many orchestral pieces could you perform with a 1 octave range? Not many!
Listen closely. You could spend a bundle taking trombone lessons and trumpet lessons, buying a new horn, or trying and buying a ton of mouthpieces -- but all of that isn't going to do you much good if you haven't developed a foundation of steel and strength in your brass embouchure.
What do horn players and trombone teachers from around the world say about Kurt Thompson's 4 month Upper Register High Note Program for Brass Players:
(The above video contains short snippets from just 25 of my trumpet lesson, trombone lesson, and french horn lesson graduates over the last several years.)
MYTH: Unless you were born with the natural ability to play high like Maynard Ferguson on trumpet or David Steinmeyer on trombone, you are completely out of luck. Wrong!sp
100's of Tuba, French Horn, Euphonium, Trombone, and Trumpet players that have gone through Kurt Thompson's 4 Month Upper Register Program have Proven it is possible for ANYONE to achieve an amazing upper register and unstoppable endurance!
My Experience With Kurt: I took his 4 month trombone lesson program to increase my trombone endurance, which sucked when I first started. His guarantee actually is what finally convinced me to jump in and in a weird way, I was hoping I wouldn't get the results he promised just so I could hang with him for a day, but things worked out great! Kurt diagnosed me as a mouthpiece pressure freak which contributed to my very poor trombone endurance. Finishing the 4 months was tough, but my endurance is killer now and my range on trombone also went up to the 2nd F above the staff!

You can say that I started TrumpetSizzle and my Trumpet Lesson Program originally as a solution to the scarcity of skilled Lead Trumpeters and Piccolo Trumpet Players. I also found it wasn't just trumpeters, but trombone, baritone, and french horn players too! There simply are too many music ensembles and genres in these modern times needing Brass Players adept and skilled at performing in the Upper Range of their instruments -- and only a small handful of brass players proficient enough to do the job.
Even when brass players took lessons, got college degrees in performance, studied with high profile brass teachers like Roy Stevens for trumpet lessons, Doc Rheinhardt for trombone lessons and trumpet lessons, Claude Gordon for trumpet lessons, etc..., many were still getting very poor results. How could one brass player get fantastic results from Doc Rheinhardt's modern pivot system for example, but 9 others uttlerly fail? Was it their fault? I spent a great deal of time trying to find out why this was, and then WHAM! I stumbled on exactly why and what was going on! And that's how TrumpetSizzle came into existence.
I condensed all these extremely potent trumpet range building and trombone endurance techniques that have taken me a lifetime to acquire into ...
... the 4 Month Brass Upper Register Course -- a one-of-a-kind program with close to 16-hours of curriculum spread out over 16 weeks of tele-classes.
I've tried Balanced Embouchure, Claude Gordon Systematic Approach, some lessons with Doc Rheinhardt back in 1981 and spent $300 on a gold Prana Monette Mouthpiece. Kurt's 4 month trumpet lesson course is the ONLY thing that significantly improved my high range and endurance!!! I can now play almost all of the lead trumpet charts in the Buddy Rich Library.
I could go on and on Kurt...Thank You!!!!!!!

Here are just a few of the juiciest secrets I reveal in the current course that has evolved over the last 4 years (I'll tell you later how *you* can get your hands on the these powerful techniques at a discount on the original course tuition):
The incredible Formula for Squeezing out every last drop of range and endurance out of your trumpet and trombone at your current level - This proprietary formula, which I invented, is included in the Bonus Technique, but don't cheat: make sure to continue reading all the amazing and unbelievable techniques brass players found to be the saving grace for their performance in the upper register.
Common brass upper register principles that work well in theory and possibly on your couch at home - but fail miserably when you step in to your rehearsal or gig. Countless trumpet players, trombone players, tuba players, baritone players, and french horn players are making these deadly mistakes everyday - and don't even know that they're killing chops and endurance in the process.
Why most known or mainstream trumpet and brass methods i.e. Gordon, Stamps, Caruso, Balanced Embouchure, T.C.E., etc.. won't spark true range building phenomena until you learn this very important secret!
Why any one trombone method or trumpet technique (alone) won't ever work to build range for the majority of brass players i.e. Gordon, Cat Anderson, 37 Weeks To Double High C, etc...If you have been pounding away at one high note method for a long time with only mediocre results, you need to find out why so you can quite spinning your wheels!
The one technique that will put you on auto-pilot should you get a case of the jitters or even stage-fright. Believe me, auto-pilot is a lifesaver compared to completely going blank.
Why even the best trumpet players that ever walked the planet, couldn't even teach their own children how to play the trumpet! Incredibly, I am talking about both trumpeters, Maynard Ferguson and Maurice Andre. Both sent their kids to seriously take trumpet lessons with someone else....kinda makes you involuntarily shake your head back and forth in disbelief, doesn't it? So, why did this happen?
The one high note technique that gives you triple the endurance for the amount of time you practice it i.e. practice it for 20 minutes, but amazingly, get an hour of endurance and playing time on your horn. This one alone is worth your investment in this course.
The million-dollar Technique inspired legendary trumpeter, Bill Chase. (Don't laugh - but my brain was doing cartwheels and backflips when I first discovered this high note technique years ago! This one technique by itself will likely pop your high note range up a half step to 1 full note)
Learn 2 techniques that instantly test whether or not you are using too much mouthpiece pressure.
Why air is important, but it is not the panacea to playing powerful high notes that some famous trumpet players and trombone players would have you believe. Learn the truth so you can reduce your frustration levels and get on to building high range the right way.
Why you should never model or mirror your brass embouchure, mouthpiece placement, etc... on other successful high note players.....NOT EVEN ME!
One unbelievable high note technique that I invented called The 15 Second Note. Like a scale that shows whether you have gained or lost weight, this high note technique reports back in real time whether or not you've made progress on your horn. 100% correct every time!
What happens when you hit a plateau, or you find yourself stuck in a rut? I have a clever brass technique that will get you out of that rut and on the road to progress in 2-3 weeks. This won't ever happen during my course, but it eventually happens to all of us - Find Out What To Do
You will absolutely love that almost 1/3 of the Upper Register and High Note Techniques from this course (21 in fact) can be practiced while your horn is left in the case. Study, relax, watch TV, drive...while you do these techniques. That means even if you were too busy on a certain day to practice your horn as much as you would have wanted, all is not lost.
How one mouth-watering high note technique will get your heart beating faster by keeping your technique as razor sharp as possible for only a 1-2 minute investment of your practice time.This brass playing technique is so powerful that you will literally feel guilty about accepting any discounts that I offer on the tuition for this course. (...but I will still give you those discounts anyway)
What you should do if you have a tendency to become dizzy and one product you can purchase from your local drug store that might solve this problem instantly.
This is the absolute best way to inject "paint-peeling octane" into a weak brass embouchure. It's absolutely fool-proof!
Learn what not to do: This is the one thing that most people i.e. trumpet and trombone players had in common who started my high range course.
Discover several high note techniques that will keep you from becoming that horribly sounding "screamer". You know: Schrill, out of tune, chipping every other note, no control, Mr. Chainsaw, Mr. 10 minute hero......

The Trumpet is a great instrument whether jazz trumpet or solo trumpet, but requires a very strong embouchure. What kind of trumpet notes require this type of strong embouchure? High C, Double C, and Triple C all would require a strong embouchure to play these high trumpet notes. A trumpeter must take trumpet lessons to increase skill level. Trumpeters like Maynard Ferguson playing the trumpet solo, Give It One, and Bill Chase playing the trumpet solo, Get It On, had a very strong trumpet embouchure. Trumpets are made out of brass and make a beautiful sound when used in trumpet songs. James Last Orchestra also featured many fine trumpet players.
