I started trombone at age 7, and I had forgotten how difficult it was at the beginning. Keep practicing! Thanks for showing me all the effort we all had to put in. It reminds us that once we reach a good level, we shouldn’t stop after all that hard work.
5:55, so the thing that you move around to make notes is the slide, the tuning slide is the thing at the back of the instrument to make your notes sound more in tune. understandable mistake though
Loving the video! I’m currently learning French Horn and really enjoying my time with it. I’m roughly college level on trumpet, and middle school level grasp on trombone, and Horn has had the hardest learning experience so far. I’d love to see you tackle it at some point.
Some advice for beginner trombones based on my own experience: 1. Its gonna happen A LOT but dont let your frustration take over your playing. Just take a deep breath and try again slower until you get it. Don't be embarrassed if you mess up in class, everyone does it. 2. Make sure to take really big breaths even if you're not playing a big part. It really helps tone quality and the overall sound of the note. 3. To avoid accidental slurs, move your slide more "robotically" and swiftly; and make sure to "ta" when playing a new note. 4. Have fun!!! You're practicing this instrument to gain skill in something you're interested in, not to impress your band teacher. You can learn your own songs, or even compose one! Goodluck

I really enjoyed this! I’m a bass trombonist, and it’s always interesting to look back at where we all start!
Can’t wait to try this piece out :)
Thanks so much for watching!
nice to see a fellow bass trombonist in the comments
Just discovered this channel. Looks really interesting and well made! Keep on going with this entertaining but also informative content 🎉
Thanks so much for watching!
Love that you took inspiration from Hadestown for your piece! The opening number is the reason i play trombone today
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
Love the journey! I like that you were open about skipping 2 weeks, made me feel better about not practicing guitar but inspired me to get back at it
Thank you my friend!
Yes! Loved your trumpet video, and now we get my favorite brass instrument, trombone!! Keep it up :)
Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks for watching! I did a little french horn in college and it was ROUGH! I'd love to try it again, just waiting for one in my price range lol
If you are fine with beginner level single horn, the Verus Scholar is around1,200 and I thinks it's on sale rn @@therealalexpoole

ALSO EMPTY YOUR SPIT REGULARLY!!
Great advice! Thanks for watching!
Truuuu
Just for clarification, the tuning slide is not the main slide. It is the small one that you do not move while playing.
That’s embarrassing… is the big one just called the slide?
@@therealalexpoole yeah tuning slide is just for tuning not playing
Wow, in only 30 days that's really good!! Next you should try Euphonium/Baritone.
Thanks for watching! As soon as I see one in my price range, I’m there!
If your thinking about doing another i reccomend the sax its not to hard to learn but you can play lots of songs
I've got a sax! It's on the list!
I don’t know if this would apply to you but I always found it a lot easier to play with a larger bore trombone.
Thanks for watching!
To change up from brass instruments, flute/piccolo would be cool
Ooh! That's a good point thanks for watching!
why'd he keep calling the slide the "tuning slide" lol. I cringed every time he said it.
i mean it technically is a tuning slide
My bad! Thanks for watching!
Even band directors refer to it as a tuning slide. Big whoop if you find it "cringe" 😂
I'm sorry to hear that Oliver!
Hi
I'm from Brazil
not bad for 30 days! I would say try to open your teeth more so you have a clearer tone great upper range!
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the advice!
