Description: You are purchasing the NUMBER 1 EMBOUCHURE STRENGTHENING COURSE IN THE WORLD!You are getting the DVD version which contains multiple DVDs recorded in FHD 1080. Good quality video and audio!This course requires dedication, practice and...plain ol' work. You have to have patience too. Well, at least 4 months worth of patience to enjoy all the benefits and improvements you will achieve.This course is for ALL brass players: TRUMPET, CORNET, TROMBONE, FRENCH HORN, EUPHONIUM, BARITONE, TUBA and I use and demonstrate ALL the above mentioned brass instruments throughout the course.You will be able to watch these dvds on your laptop, computer, mac, and on your big screen tv providing a DVD player is hooked up to it.It is best to have a high quality more modern dvd player as these dvds from the course are big files. Your dvd player from 1998 may not be good enough so please keep that in mind before purchasing.Through all 4 months I am demonstrating each technique with a different brass instrument. I do tend to use trumpet more, but still, trombone, tuba, baritone ( not pictured above ) and french horn are routinely used so that ALL brass players can easily and quickly get the proper instruction for each technique on THEIR instrument! Several practice aids are part of this new revised course. It is highly recommended that you get the same practice aids that I use in the course. You will get a document upon purchase that will tell you what practice devices are required in which weeks. I will have some options to purchase these including a bulk combo option where you can buy all of them for the course at once! You can still do the course without purchasing all the practice devices, but your results will be less. You can make your own practice devices. Some practice aids may already be in your possession. Do you have a Wooden Spoon? Red Hot Water Bottle?It is based on the original 16 week course that had stellar success and enjoyed and still enjoys being the #1 brass embouchure improvement course for all time.There has been no other course or routine that has been as successful. It is backed up by proven results from hundreds and hundreds of students. Many of these players left both written and video reviews of their success.100 Authentic Student Video Reviews!

Make sure you are NOT in the "just looking" stage, but that you are READY TO WORK! (...because that is exactly what is about to happen to you when you get this course!)"Would you invest a few dollars to add 4 strong and confident notes to your high range?" "I am very appreciative and grateful that I found this course."-Darian Robinson, Trumpeter Study with the only trumpet player in the world to have achieved the highest recorded trumpet note on video, the Quad High C!That's 2 octaves higher than Wayne Bergeron, 1 octave higher than Arturo Sandoval, 2 octaves higher than James Morrison, and a few notes higher than Jon Faddis! "Regardless of the cost, it's definitely a life changer."-Chaz, 15 year old trumpeter This Trumpet, Cornet, Trombone, Euphonium, Baritone, Tuba, French Horn course takes 4 months to complete.Practice requirements:Weeks 1-4: 30-40 minutes each day Weeks 5-8: 45-60 minutes each day Weeks 9-12 One hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half each dayLast 4 weeks of the course: Hour and a half to 2 hours each day "Sign up and start screaming out those notes."-Dave, Trumpeter in California Over the years, some brass players have had trouble pulling the trigger and jumping feet first into this top rated embouchure strengthening course.Here are some of their reasons: Skeptical - They were promised by previous trumpet teachers that "Don't worry! You just keep practicing the material and eventually that high range and great sound will happen for you." Couldn't wrap their brain around taking lessons by phone or skype. Their only experience had previously been "in person" lessons only. Regarding the DIY video only versions of my course: Some folks just weren't sure they could learn anything in a measurable way from a recorded video course. Although I have plainly stated this course WORKS for all other brass players including Trombone, Horn, Euphonium, and Tuba, some just could not fathom how a "trumpet course" could work for them. "If you're looking for a recommendation, here's my vote for Kurt Thompson."-Perry, 85 year old trumpet student “When You Purchase This Embouchure Strengthening Course, You’ll See Why Other Trumpet Players Have Left Great Reviews” In order to make a change, one has to first imagine the outcome so...What would it be like to pick up your trumpet and be able to play above high c anytime you wanted?Imagine getting to the end of a song and bursting with energy while you take that F on top of the staff to F way on up above high C.Picture yourself feeling amazing pride and confidence when you FINALLY are able to shake and trill high notes in your music the way Maynard Ferguson and Bill Chase have done.Imagine going to your big band rehearsal or your community concert band rehearsal and making it all the way to the end of a rehearsal or concert, but with plenty of gas still in the tank...

He is going to teach you tricks and techniques and exercises that will improve both your playing and your range!"-Dr. Kevin Garner, Trumpeter "So you want better Range and Endurance?" IF YOU ARE...a High school Trumpet, French Horn, or Trombone player in banda Trumpet , Trombone, Tuba, Euphonium, French Horn major in collegea Come-back playera Freelance Professional Trumpeter, French Hornist, Trombonista 3rd part player forever dreaming to play 1st part or lead trumpetIf 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 sight-read 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!MYTH: Unless you were born with the natural ability to play in the high range like Maynard Ferguson on trumpet or David Steinmeyer on trombone, you are completely out of luck. Wrong! "My Experience With Kurt: I took his 4 month trumpet high range lesson program to increase my trumpet 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 endurance. Finishing the 4 months was tough, but my endurance is killer now and my range on trumpet also went up to F above the staff!"- Riley Cantrell, Trumpet Major You will find the one high note trumpet 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. "I've tried Balanced Embouchure, Claude Gordon Systematic Approach, some lessons with Doc Reinhardt 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."- Carmine Adams, 62 from South Philly Discover 2 trumpet techniques that instantly test whether or not you are using too much mouthpiece pressure!
