Every brass player knows that flexibility isn’t just about hitting notes...it’s about finding the center of your sound.
In this warm-up from his tonebase course Building Flexibility, trumpeter Brandon Ridenour shares a simple yet powerful approach to developing a resonant, effortless tone.
Starting with gentle pitch bends and slow chromatic descents, Ridenour demonstrates how to explore your instrument’s natural resonance. By learning where each note wants to vibrate, you’ll build awareness that strengthens tone, control, and range across all registers.
Ridenour reminds players that true flexibility comes from balancing control with release: treating the horn like an extension of the body rather than something to wrestle with. His full tonebase course expands these concepts into a complete flexibility routine for brass players of all levels.
