Trumpet "How to" Demonstrations

We've had the idea around HT to create a series of "How to" demonstrations on trumpet-related topics. Since projects like this take time and get lost in the shuffle of a very busy office dealing with multiple daily orders, I thought I'd start here in my blog. Feel free to chime in with suggestions on topics or critique my demonstrations.

A few topic ideas include;

• Trumpet Fundamentals, basic tone production, tonguing, fingering
  
• Air Speed/Velocity theory & practice (with an anemometer)
• Wide interval leaps
• Decibel volume vs. air volume
• Fundamentals of trumpet design
• Fundamentals of mouthpiece design
• Standing Wave Efficiency vs. air flow efficiency
• Memorization (of anything)
• Extreme mental focus vs. self-distraction
  
• The art of learning
• Understanding receiver gap variables
• Endurance
• Extreme high range beyond triple c and pedal tones
• Improving skills without practice
• The art of efficient learning on trumpet
• Visualizing opportunities and success
• The art of kindly saying "No" 
• Mainstream technique & style vs. free musical expression
• Extreme motivation
• Fundamentals of machining
• How physics determines success in almost everything
• How attitude determines long term success
• Unorthodox, yet valuable, practice techniques
• How to measure gap
• How to measure mouthpiece throat size
• How to measure leadpipe venturi
• How to recognize air flow obstructions
• Basic dent removal
• SWE experiments with clay
• Mouthpiece experiments with clay
• Embouchure Exercises to improve range & endurance
• How to keep your horn clean (inside)
• Fundamentals of trumpet case design
• How to ship a trumpet (to avoid damage)
• How to make green eggs & ham
• Removing a stuck mouthpiece
• How to cork a mute (to fit your new large bell)
• Trumpet gimmicks that do not work
• How to resolve a sticking valve
• How to re-lap trumpet slides (to be butter smooth)
• How to remove a stuck tuning slide
• Choosing a trumpet case
• Choosing a mouthpiece
• Choosing a trumpet
