Well here is it, i know i know this is a very popular somtimes over used technique. But i cant do it, so please could you pros and poser pros help me out. I want to Growl with my trumpet, yet i cannot. What do i do, to do this? thanks for helping an amature out.

just relax your lips completely and blow air so that your lips fly all over the place and then do it on your trumpet with a little more focus

Lips all over the place? I don`t know about that one... As far as I know, there are two ways to do a growl:

(1) (the way I do it) using the tongue. Can you say "Rrrrroll up the rrrrrim?" As you play a tone, incorporate that "rrrrr" of the tongue. This is also called flutter tonguing.

(2) The other way is with the throat. Can you growl like a dog? Well, this time while you hold a tone, make a dog growl sound using your throat in the same time. Hence the "growl."

Both these techniques will give you pretty much the same effect: a very rough and dirty sound. If you want an even dirtier sound, try growling with a plunger, but use a clean plunger!!

- Good luck
