What can a trumpet lesson or a book really do?
I have trumpet professors quote me in print:
I finished a 500+ page book called "Trumpet Pedagogy: A Compendium of Modern Teaching Techniques." I have referenced many of your books.
David Hickman ..... Professor at ASU and past President of the ITG.
Teachers write trumpet books after taking lessons:
Doing great man! Your stuff really helped me. The tongue level thing is great.
Guess I just kind of lost my way with it over the years since I did study with Claude. Anyway, working on a new book for students devoted entirely to tongue levels.
Will give you props of course!
Eric Bolvin ..... Editor of Studio column for "ITG Journal", author "Tongue Level & Air"
Pops: You have single-handedly given me the confidence and the ability to meet - EXCEED my wildest dreams. When I first came to you I never would have believed
I would tour with Maynard Ferguson!!!
Keith Fiala ..... Formerly with Maynard Ferguson, author of "Secrets To Efficient Brass Playing"
It was only after reading/playing your books, did I get the range thing!
Roddy Lewis ..... Author of "Embouchure Enhancement" books 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Pros talk about it:
I met "POPS" on the Internet and he helped me through some frustrating problems that I was struggling with on the horn.
Herb Alpert ..... Sold 80 Million records, Grammy winner, star on Hollywood walk of fame.
Hey Pops, keep up the good work. Even us "old pros" need a little help every now and then. I check in with your site regularly. Thanks.
Bill Churchville ..... 6 Tours with Tower of Power.
Pops: I'm so glad I got your books - some great stuff in there for every trumpet player!!! Keep up the great work!!!

It is absolutely wonderful!!! May be the most complete book on embouchure ever compiled. You have done trumpet players a wonderful service! Bill Knevitt ..... Author of a dozen trumpet books.
Check out Pop's trumpet books. This guy knows what he is talking about and can write it!!!! Thanks for all your intelligent advice.

Clint McLaughlin has distilled a lifetime of knowledge into these volumes--_PRACTICAL_ knowledge which deserves to be put into use in every trumpeter's practice room/studio. Don't waste any more time searching for the *ultimate guide to trumpet playing*. It has already been done.
Jeanne G Pocius ..... Embouchure Clinician and author of "Trumpeting by Nature".
You have said two things which have really helped me and have brought about an instant improvement in my trumpet playing. It's all 20% easier! So thanks again for your positive contribution to the brass world.

College students make years of progress in one lesson:
In two weeks my range has improved more than it has in 6 years, not to mention the improvements in tone, and endurance, which have been immense.
Kevin
I have students improve at all ages:
Hi Pops...because of you and your books, my playing has NEVER been better, and I'll be 75 next month. Range, endurance...the works!
Bob
People who were desperate are given hope:
Everything you showed me has helped incredibly. People that know me couldn't believe what a lesson could do. I basically was down to the point where I couldn't play at all. I would have given it up if someone had not suggested I come to see you.
Ed
Comeback Players get it together:
I am excited about playing the trumpet again! I now have a practical approach for my individual embouchure. Spending time with you was an enlightening experience.
Bill
After reading, studying, and practicing the exercises from your books my trumpet playing went to a whole new level. My tone, intonation, and high range have never sounded better.
Dan
Things have gone well. Range, flexibility and endurance all much improved since the lesson. It has helped a great deal.
John
You're lesson has given me direction and more importantly....given me the knowledge to cut through all the BS on the internet.
Warren
These two weeks I have been blowing top Ds so easy and free it makes jump ..I cant believe its me doing it....I have never made a trumpet sound so clear and true thru its entire range. Its like another guy is playing.
Alan
A week later I am hitting notes beyond my imagination. My range was low c to top of staff g. Now it's low C to double G and improving.
Danny
Doing great and working smart. The lessons I did and your materials are worth their weight in gold.
David
Trumpet Books
I get asked all of the time if high notes can center or sound fleshed out....
Here is a clip of Me playing part of the Hummel up 2 octaves. I start on F over High C and end on A over Double C (that's 2 notes from Triple C).
Andrea Tofanelli & Greg Kuehn playing a duet. Andrea is a STAR in Europe. Andrea and I spent the day discussing embouchure and playing some exercises. Greg was a Vegas pro who is now playing in New Mexico. Greg wanted a little tune up. Andrea can be found at http://www.andreatofanelli.com/
