But I will also keep in mind that trumpet pedagogy has far greater success than trumpet science when it comes to figuring out what works and what doesn't. I personally like to think of science as observations as opposed to applications. It's neat to read explanations of different concepts and theories, but it should always stay in the retrospect. Once we cross over into application, it's not science anymore for the simple reason that music is subjective, not objective. What works for one person may not work for the next.
Science plays no part there.
So feel free to enlighten yourself with science, increase your understanding, but keep it where it belongs. Don't try to force the square block of objectivity into the round hole of subjectivity.
