Too much mouthpiece pressure?

Having working with thousands of trumpet players over the years, I'm often asked for advice regarding range, endurance, tone, technique, etc. However, I am very rarely asked about mouthpiece pressure. In reality, most trumpet players' concerns are directly related to the space between the mouthpiece and teeth. Rather than focus on mouthpiece "pressure", I prefer to discuss the distance required to vibrate the lips. This video will guide you through concepts that may seem completely new, yet directly related to our overall performance success.
