This week's video is from an old broadcast of Rafael Mendez effortlessly playing Flight of the Bumblebee and Mexican Hat Dance.
Notice how relaxed he is. Mendez taught that the air use needed for trumpet playing should be no more than that used in normal conversation. Watching how long he goes between breathes and the size of his sound makes me believe that this is true for him, unless he has a spare lung hidden somewhere. Now only if the rest of us mere mortals can make trumpet playing this easy. Enjoy!
