    7:58 All Trombone/euphonium players: Must be nice to not change the principles behind how your instrument works when you change. That said, the slide positions and fingerings map well onto each other. Of course, as a trombone/euphonium player you never know what clef you are going to get.

    A good genre of music to explore tempos with is ragtime. Most performers play ragtime fast and lively. But slowed down to a moderate tempo, the syncopated accents are heard better, making the music fuller and more expressive. "Ragtime should never be played fast." ~ Scott Joplin

      They’re two totally different things. Swing is to do with quantisation, track delays are offsets from the grid.
