Concentrate a bit on eliminating that breathy sound to your tone. I was able to make progress on that by using lip tension. Play like you have a straw between your lips and you're squeezing down on the straw. But (and this is important) keep your jaw open. Leave space between the teeth on your upper and lower jaw. Not only will you get a less breathy tone, but it'll take less air and you'll be able to play longer notes. The air that goes in to that breathy sound is all lost air. Don't confuse the lip pressure with higher notes, you can get higher notes with air speed (arch the back of the tongue) and vibrating a smaller section of the middle of your lips. Note: I'm only 3 months in to re learning to play after a 30 year hiatus and I was only a beginner when I quit in the 90s. So take this advice with a grain of salt.

Don't smear. Well yes, that's hard. Wish you good luck.

I had a sleepless night and found this video. It was very funny, thank you dear colleague!

loveee this

What happens when he gets to a tuba

"her four other witch friends"... Yeah, that's one way to describe the situation^^

i got the bowie stylophone and is easy to play!

As a college teacher, I can appreciate a sensible and performance-based explanation like the one here. Excellent synopsis.

great piece at the end dude

w mr poole moment

watching this because i miss my trumpet (i got rid of it 4 years ago)

i am a music education major and local musician, this was so awesome to see that you still get to gig even though you are a choir director! i loved this vlog, please keep making more!

I watched the performance at acatex, it was amazing!

The version of episode 4 (Lorna Wu’s) is for me the best version of The Ballad of the Witches Road

Please am having problem while using the mouthpiece

As a 6 year experienced accordionist, you have got a lot to master. But for 30 days, dang, it's great!

Im hopin' to get a divid bowie one for christmas!

Well done!

Yo, really well done! Having good slide control and being able to navigate the partials isn’t easy, especially in 30 days! Hope you have more fun with trombone in the future 🎉

11:37 Ahhh finally a piece i can learn with accordion.

I was looking for a music theory reaction to this song. Thanks so much! When I hear this song, I think of bagpipes.

Could you do a mash-up with the original ballad song? Or just you singing along with the original?

Could you do a mash-up with the original ballad? Or just you singing along with it? That would be cool.

Did any one else think this was about water dogs?

i find it so funny in the last stretch where everyone harmonizes and its giving everyone literal chills and tony is just,, dead in the middle, very much in character in the midst of a godly performance.

I'm from Germany and doing 13000 steps daily.

If you get yourself a dog, it's quite easy to get your steps in.

i started walking 4 km daily (about 6200 steps for me) and it takes me one hour. I've been doing this for 2 weeks and i feel much better mentally

found this channel by accident. I have been learning to play trombone with a brass band for the last 12 months (music written in treble clef B flat) and am enjoying it loads. The ability to pitch-match with an actual person and trombone is wonderful. So please to hear your progress and definitely keep on going with it.

wow chillssssss

Amazing!!! The way the group was able to tell the story is so wonderful!

Ive been playing 5 years now. Sounding good, keep working on the basics and things get way easier from there!

I’ve played trombone for a couple years now and I’m definitely going to try this piece! 😂 it’s sounds honestly really fun to play and I have to say you learned faster than I did, everyday I’m still learning new ways to improve my sound!

Interesting... I did the exact same thing on exactly January 15th, 2024, where I began playing as part of a 30 day challenge in attempt to learn something new, and man... it was definitely a journey. I did this because I honestly I had nothing. And by 'nothing', I mean no talents or skills to display, and any hobbies to do, so I needed something. But I find this pretty cool and quite surreal considering I did the same thing. For only 30 days, you actually sound really good. But that's where imma stop with critique as I'm only 11 months in lol. But yeah, I encourage you to continue with the trombone as it is very rewarding and fun.

What app you are using for notation

Mega gesungen!!!

So very cool Yll the kudos

You shouldn’t regret mouth piece buzzing at all! I am a college student majoring in tuba performance and music education. My teacher who is the principle tubist of the Oregon Symphony actually encourages it because it has less resistance which makes you over train and that makes playing in general easier. It also helps you with training your ear. So definitely keep buzzing on the mouth piece!

Can't believe this video only has 21k views. Feels like it should have been a few million!

A tip about hearing multiple notes at once. The exact location that you need to bow changes with different notes. If you just bow in the same location you will get harmonics.

I would expect a larger following for you; you have great production quality!

Great video!! I love weird lil instruments

Cool project! As a composer myself (with a background in piano, cello, guitar, percussion/drums), and I dabbled in clarinet once a few years ago, I have always found brass to be among the most mysterious of all, most likely because of the system of embrouchure + partials and therefore can be a bit intimidating to write for. Compared to a piano or string instrument where the production of the pitch is very visual (you hit/strike/pluck the pitch where you want, what you see is what you hear kind of thing). I've studed numerous orchestration books so I have a working understanding of brass and their idioms, but even still every time I write a passage for trombones (especially) I sweat a little bit in fear it may not even be playable, even though it might be very easy on piano lol. I sometimes think of doing something like this, learning the basics of a brass instrument just to wrap my head around the idioms better, but I honestly don't think I'd have enough time in my life - that's time that would take me away from my other instruments and composing, and from what I hear brass instruments in particular are quite demanding to keep up. If only time were infinite haha. Anyway, do you find having learned these brass instruments that your composing for them has improved? Or is it about the same?

You are amazing! New subscriber.

This is super incredible! Always nice to see more people playing bone. If there's one thing I could suggest, it would be to be as clear and deliberate with your tonguing as possible. Think "TOH" or "TAH", instead of "OH" or "FUH". :)

i was gonna say that his sound was sloppy until i read the description! 30 days really is amazing. also, you could try improving your sound by resting your tongue lower in your mouth.

Nice! You are doing amazing. But your articulation needs work. Try to make sure your slide movements are rapid and you go to the exact position immediately when the note starts. Otherwise pretty good work. Keep it up.
