About Me
- David
- I started playing the trumpet 40 years ago and used the conventional embouchure method (tongue between the lips - both lips vibrate) up until 7 years ago when I learnt about the Superchops method from Jerome Callet. Since then I have never looked back. I play lead trumpet in a local Big Band and am Principal Trumpet with the Hertfordshire Concert Band.

Hi,
I took a lesson with Jerry in December. He had me place my tongue in front of my bottom teeth and concentrate on completely covering my beveled TCA tongue set up with my top lip while at the same time pressing against the tongue and bottom lip. I just took a lesson a few days ago and he completely changed what I was doing. The new setup: bottom lip INSIDE the top teeth. The top lip overlaps all the way down past the red of the bottom lip. The tongue presses the bottom lip against the inside of the upper teeth. The tongue is in the mouth. The bottom lip moves higher behind the top teeth the higher you play. Up to the gums.
To do all this you need to RECEDE your jaw and pivot down. He gave me a diagram of this. It is very weird. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

David's note to the attack started my tip is to stay in the red, slightly behind the lower lip or back from the tooth?
Another thing I'm putting about a 1 / 2 mm of the tongue (the tip to the throat) in the cutting of upper tooth difference in sound and feel, you know you're correct that.
Thank you.
Sorry for spelling errors.
David, Thank you for this service. Ive been playing nearly 58 yrs.in what seems to have been the traditional manner. Had excellent teachers, some success as a jazz player,but have inspite of 2hrs. practice per day reached diminishing returns for 7 0r 8yrs. now.Im 71 and have no intention of becoming a trpt. lamp maker!
Ive been doing Superchops for 5 days and had 1st lesson today over phone. (Im in Los Angeles). I was very impressed w/ J.C.-----Pretty impressive initials too. Fortunately Im not in a panic about gigs anymore though I love to jam. So I have the time and discipline--I trust to make this huge change. " Im willing to go to any length to change"...within reason.
I would very much like to read your journal that starts from the git go. Thats seems a very sound idea. No pun intended, but it sure works.
Im not great with computers at all but have been learning for the last yr. I'd to correspond if you have the time and inclination. Thanks again,
