Below you will find the secret to a SCREAMING double C! Do not share this secret with anyone or we will take it away and bury the only existing copy of Jon Brunschwig's insanely easy Double C Trumpet Method under a Scottish Moor. Step 1: Find Your Double High C Breath Sit down in a chair as if you were a king with a very heavy crown that needs support. This posture is key to developing your blistering double high C! Once you've achieved "The King" posture, bend forward so your stomach tocuhes your knees and grab your ankles. Then begin to find your double C breath by panting deeply as if you have just carried a sack of dead dogs up a mountain. Try to remember how this feels as you will eventually need to do this breathing exercise immediately before it's time to let out some screeching double Cs on trumpet. Perhaps keep a journal of how you feel each time you do this exercise. Repeat 6 times daily for 20 min.
Step 2: Learn the Double High C Trumpet Grip
The key to playing a Double High C on Trumpet is a rock-solid vice grip. The best way to learn is by practicing squeezing oranges until they burst. Jon Brunschwig Jon Brunschwig generally likes to start the day by obliterating 20-43 oranges. Sound expensive? Who cares! You'll be shredding hundred dollar bills on your ice cream as a topping once you start collecting royalty checks from your double C trumpet recordings! Once you've mastered the Double C kung-fu vice grip using oranges, move on to your trumpet. Grab it as hard as you might grab and rifle if you were going to shoot a rabid alpaca in your uncle's backyard. Basically, you can't grab the trumpet too hard to play a double high c.
Step 3: Playing Your First Double C on Trumpet Pick up your trumpet (w/ Schillke 14a4a mouthpiece) using your new double high C grip. Put the trumpet to your lips, take a deep double C breath (remember to push out your chest as much as possible and do NOT use your diaphragm) and squeeze every muscle in your body as tightly as possible while blowing as hard as you possibly can. Imagine everyone you have ever loved is on fire and you have to blow out the flames, which are currently scorching their flesh. Keep blowing as hard as possible, pretending that the smell of burning flesh is filling the room and if you do not blow harder they will all die painful deaths. Within moments, you should hear a blistering double high C exploding out of your trumpet. Don't worry if you pass out because you'll soon have enough money to cover the hospital bills if you happen to hit your head on a table or chair. If you don't see your next-door nei**or's dog immediately explode, return to step 1. Try harder next time and maybe you too can become a double C hero
