You&#8217;re probably most likely to know about his jazz trumpet playing. He&#8217;s also an excellent composer and bassist. He has also struggled a number of times with injuries to his lips that have seriously hindered his trumpet players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently I came across a video podcast series, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trusttheprocesspodcast.com\">Trust the Process<\/a>, that is devoted to helping musicians deal with injuries related to playing their instruments. Episode 4 is an interview with Brad Goode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"656\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TknCbg6o4D0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a couple of quotes from the video that I found particularly interesting or insightful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding good brass technique and preventing injury go hand in hand.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who prefer not to think about brass technique, this is the best argument I can think for why you should understand brass technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many, many brass teachers not teaching embouchure. And not dealing with the subject of embouchure but believing in a magical thinking system where if you just imagine the results strong enough everything will be perfect and you won&#8217;t need to know anything about embouchure. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I find it truly amazing how many intelligent, well-intentioned, and experience brass teachers and players buy into this &#8220;think system&#8221; approach. And many are quite defensive if you point out the absurdity of it. And as Brad mentions, more players than not who get injured have been indoctrinated into this idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a few things he says that I question or disagree with. For example, while Brad is correct that different brass instruments require different approaches, I&#8217;ve found that the basic principles apply to all and they are more similar than many give credit. But I imagine that if we discussed these differences and similarities in person we&#8217;d find we&#8217;re more aligned than not here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The whole interview is interesting and worth watching. I will definitely be checking out more of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trusttheprocesspodcast.com\">Trust the Process<\/a> series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brad Goode is an amazing musician.
