- Here is a practice tip that I use every day. It can help greatly to keep you from getting discouraged over time and to keep some spirit in your playing!
Great advice, Dave! Practice itself is indeed tedious. BTW, if memory serves, I heard years ago that Doc Severinson practiced faithfully 3-4 hours per day. That speaks volumes. Practice produces dividends in so many ways, and making it "fun" and good for one's soul is a very wise investment.
Thank you sincerely for this "tip." It is one of the most important you have shared. As I get older, especially as a euphonium player amazed at all the new and technically challenging literature being composed for our instrument, I believe it is important to play pieces/portions that are simply beautiful. And perhaps beautifully simple. Thank you again, my friend.
I found this out the hard way, I did day over day of 3 to 5 hours of practice for around 7 months, and I got really burnt out, and I wasn't motivated. Once I started to play a nice piece called the flower duet, I realized how important it is to play something you enjoy
I think this applies to any instrument!
Great Advice! My fun piece is something called "Alice, Where Art Thou" Ascher. I first heard it on a British comedy show on PBS, Open All Hours. I've written it out in different keys so it's still practice but I'm hooked on the fun melody! It works at different tempi as well! 😊
I see that trombone is not on your list. ;)
But I can testify that the wisdom of this video applies to trombonists as well.
I could only fit so many instruments in the 100 characters they allow for the title!
Dave, what Euphonium are you playing?
I noticed it has a shorter action , almost like the old Conn 1940s horns.
I play a Sterling, but noticed your valve travel in this video.
Let me know when you have time.
Thanks
It's an Adams Custom E3. I don't think the valve travel is much different from your Sterling. For the time I played on a Sterling Virtuoso (from 2006 - 2011) Sterling got their valves from Bauerfiend, which is now owned by Adams and is the same design used on the Adams euphonium. I think Sterling now gets valves from China, and perhaps they are longer travel, but I don't know.
