We've been dumbed down to think making loud obnoxious sounds on an instrument makes you good. Basic notes, basic sounds. It doesn't matter if he's 8 and started when he was 6. Two years is a lot of time to improve on a trumpet. He still plays like he just started
Hey Dick weed, Keep in mind he doesn't have the muscles in our mouths or the diaphragm like he does ours are more developed than his are chances is that all you still play like you did when you guys started you forgot to mention he also has a somewhat decent tone, and he plays out, unlike some of you who probably hide behind the people who actually can play, i swear trumpet players have an ego the ocean couldn't fill..
hey did you know first of all, its really hard to go up in front of a croud, and its not basic, i play the trombone, and still as an eleven year old, i am not as good, and i think you should respect him, Can't you see he has leart it all by heart, and it is IN his heart, just all i ask you to do is respect others, even if you do not care for them
Definitely not good lol. I am a trumpet player. his intonation is pretty bad but hes also just a kid and probably way better than me considering this was 7 years ago.
what's the difference on playing with a pocket trumpet vs a full size one? I've only ever played the full size trumpet. Is there a difference in difficulty? In regards to when this kid was playing a full size because that is my area of expertise, he sounds like a year 3 kid who's just picked up the trumpet and learned all of 3 songs. This song sounds suspiciously similar in difficulty to Shepherd's Hey, which sounds impressive but is really not that difficult to learn. (also playing two trumpets at the same time - what is that harmony)
listening to this, as a current 8th grader, this sucks. I know, I know, its mean and he's young, but the adults gave him too much credit. literally 7/8's of that song was a low c. that's the first note you learn the highest note was a High C or D his embouchure was literal shit, it was like brian hoyer in the 2015-2016 AFC wild card.
Lol I just started playing cuz I'm going into Gr. 6 And I could probably play that. I know all the the notes That he played and HE was playing form two years and ive been playing for not even a week. Like a lot of kids coulda probably do that and or better.
You can't exactly just say "no" to him. For the sake of peasant vision and not damaging the kid's self esteem. Sure, he sounds crap, but would you be prepared to tell him he sounds like ass in front of a land of convicts?
Eh, I'm not hating on the kid. That being said, I play trumpet myself and I will testify that he is average for a kid his age with two years of experience. He isn't awful, but he wasn't nearly as good as the judges were saying he was. For him to be a "trumpet prodigy," I would expect something more along the lines of "Andante et Allegro" after 2-3 years, not the piece he played.
I can't believe how many people in this comments section are hating. Jeese, this kid isn't bad at ALL. I saw nothing wrong with his performance. I mean, this kid plays better than most MIDDLE school bands. As a matter of fact, he's actually a little better than my middle schools ADVANCED band. I mean, even if he wasn't good, I still gotta give him respect. I mean, when you have a trumpet or another valved brass instrument, you have to remember to oil your valves, dry your mouthpiece, grease and empty your slides, not to hit the mouthpiece in (sometimes it gets stuck when you hit it in), never forget where your case is, and with all instruments you sometimes have to remember to practice every day and never loose your practice book. And also, like he said, he plays EIGHT instruments!! *EIGHT* !!!! I only play 2 instruments (technically I can play 4 but the other 2 I don't practice) and I'm already sometimes loosing my practice book and accidentally hitting the mouthpiece into my instrument!! I mean, I highly doubt he play all off his instruments 30 minutes a day. It's gotta be hard to play 8 instruments and sound really good at all of them (unless you've been playing for over a decade). Plus, he's probably only bad at the trumpet, yet he plays good on all his other instruments.
Lance Pate Well then you have a great talent. However, 1. I know people fourteen+ that did not sound good in six months and actually quit the trumpet. 2. This kid started when he was six. SIX! I started when I was three and, after eleven years, can currently play at a somewhat professional jazz level. 3. In six months, you should be able to play at a concert level. I doubt this kid got good in two years. This show happens over a series of months, and the time prior to that is spent preparing for the show, which can take a while. And it's not like he sounds bad (especially considering he was shaking his hips.)
+Jeheiel Smith Guess the neck did look too long to be most guitars. Keep on it, man, bass is a great theory instrument, I guarantee it will improve your soloing on every other instrument.
+American For Life I'm not trying to say I'm better than the kid. If the judges think that they can pass that performance up as "talent", then they clearly need to re-evaluate their jobs. Tough love.
I mean he's cute and all but he isn't a good trumpet player. He has a long way to go. But I know he's just a kid. I have no positive response but I won't give any negative response. Tip to whoever is teaching him and his parents. Being able to play 8 instruments means less time to focus on one, its really bad. I doubt he is A good musician should know how to play 1 instrument. If you ever want to play among the pros. Unless of course you are a percussionist and such. But you know what I mean.
Multi-instrumentalism is not a bad thing if there is talent for such. There is no rule stating that playing more than one instrument means you aren't good. To play professionally, I agree, but to be an excellent, well-versed musician, I disagree.
S.M.P. Newstead Your right. Sorry that was a lot of typos. I was writing "I doubt he is ... ect." But i didn't erase all of it. Also your right, to be a good musician doesn't mean you have to know only 1 instrument I meant to type " A musician should focus on 1 instrument if you ever wanna be among the Pros." like Harry James.
Ok guys I need to tell you a trumpet story. So when I was in beginning band, I first started the flute. I didn't like it. Later I tried the trumpet and was OK. Before my chair tests and real things started, I accidently dropped a mouthpiece cleaner inside my trumpet. This one: ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/319Y9qPh2oL._SY300_.jpg Except like 2 inches bigger, and the part where you hold it is much thicker. I dropped this inside, and imagine what it did to my sound. I sounded flat, I sounded bad, but I thought that it was just me. I thought that the mouthpiece cleaner didn't do anything to my sound. So, I tried. I tried. I became 3rd chair almost always in band, but I still sounded ABNORMALLY flat when I played C or higher or ABNORMALLY SHARP when I played G or less. I believed I sucked. I made it into the Symphonic band of BDJH starting off as one of the top 3 players in the section. This ended badly.I was The first 2nd chair and second 4th chair. Then TUNING was a problem. I sounded bad and was out of tune, I became 6th or 7th chair, and thought I sucked. I got embarrased a lot and soon didn't care about band for like 6 months. Then, I told my friend about the thing sutck in my trumpet. Later, he told the teacher against my will, she took it out yesterday, and now I am an amazing player. Like my friend said, it's like running with a giant backpack and then taking it off. My teacher was like omfg.. cause i couldve told her this last year and made it into the honors band and became 1st chair. Now I don't know if I should quit band or not because I ALREADY chose to quit it, but now that I realized I was an amazing player the whole time I could stay. I still feel stupid. I could have been in HONORS FUCKING BAND, but I made it into symphonic band and still was pretty good. On Monday i'm going back and I need to let al my skills free.
This is crap playing. And to all you people saying to cut him slack because he is young and plays 8 instruments wtf? Just because he can play 8 instruments doesn't mean he is good at them. The judges shouldn't have even let him get that far.
What's up with the trumpet change in the middle and all the dancing, he could've played a lot better if he didnt destroy his embochure with all that crap.
I'm not telling that I could do better (Even tho I could) I'm just telling that if he was sit down playing it would've sounded a lot better, but the judges barely know what music is.
I haven't even been playing for a year and my new band teacher gave me first alto sax with all of the song's melodies. Some songs have alto sax solos. There are three other altos in my band.
+Von Steiner actually wasn't even that bad, yea he still messed up quite a bit, but it's just cause he kept dancing around, hard to keep a good embouchure when constantly moving around like that.
Making a kid clown around in that ridiculous outfit is nothing short of child abuse. Let the kid play his damn horn with dignity and earn his celebrity as the musician he is, not some damn Jon-Benet Ramsey monstrosity.
Imposed precociousness is indeed a form of child abuse. Making a child an addict to celebrity and media attention will make him an addict to other truly worst things just to get that same rush of being the center of things when the limelight is gone…and it will be gone, for the public is fickle and always hungry for the "next act".
I know he isn't that good now, but he's 8. Most of the people hating are 15 or 16. Imagine how good he could be if he practiced for another 8 years. I've been playing for 4 and a half years now and I'm getting decent. This kid could be a legend when he reaches my age.
Obelisk The Tormentor you put one of the mouthpiece on the side of your mouth and the and the other mouthpiece on the other side. Trust me though, it does not sound good. Like, at all.
Obelisk The Tormentor I believe he was playing a trumpet and a cornet at the same time, or at least I think that is a cornet, cornets typically have 4 valves.
Declan Bartlett Piccolo trumpets can have four valves or three rotaries. The fourth valve add a fourth so you can play lower than a three valve trumpet which is a below staff F#.
I'd have much rather heard him play trumpet without all the dancing and the hype that were detrimental to his embouchure, accuracy, tonal quality and fluency. Let the kid play without Hollywood showboating and he'll be very good. Keep this up and he'll eventually quit in disgust.
not good at trumpet at all i only heard basic notes and i wont be nice just because he is young on my first day practicing i reached those simple crappy notes
For all you people who are hating on this eight year old child you need a new set of ears because that was good some people in my band class can't play as good as this child did if you read this comment boby Harrison keep moving along and ignore the haters
Well, I mean he is 8. HIs parents/teacher should not have let him play both trumpets as the intonation will never be pleasing to the ears (just based on the anatomy of the trumpets). Dancing is hard enough for some people and this kid was able to regulate his breathing (that's cardio he's doing, guys) and play. Don't attack his sound quality. He probably sounds a lot better sitting down.
honestly, I get it. he's a kid, and it's nice that he's playing on this show. but it's actually really simple to play two trumpets. people who think that's cool have never seen it before. he's also extremely out of tune and keeps moving, so it ruins his air flow. as much as I hate to hate on this kid, I've seen much better people at his age, who have been playing for less time.
Literally all the comments are "well I could do this" or "I'm better" he's eight and for an eight year old that's talent. For an adult that would be terrible, but since he is a kid, that is talent. Haters are so ignorant😂👌🏻
Yall seriously need to chill. Because with Moving and playing obviously MEMORIZED music for his age? This is Pretty good. I've seen worse. I'm a trumpet player myself. So I know the struggle. Learn a scale before you judge. Please ✋
Taylor Maynard I’m an All State musician. This is nothing compared to what marching bands have kids memorize, and don’t get me started on the solo repertoire that exists out there.
I was 9 years old and could play grade level 6 music. Now I'm in high school and I am one of the top trumpet players in my state and I have made all state band every year. I can play every brass instrument and every woodwind instrument and I can play the drums harp piano guitar.
I have been playing trumpet for 3 years and if this kid could be on one of these shows then I could win one of these shows. I can play like 2 octaves above him with much better sound quality. Like he is good for his age and the fact he has only been playing for 2 years but come on this kid a lot of special treatment.
in musical schools people starts at five or six, at least those who are amed to become professionals like "the greatest entreteiners" and at the age of eight they play mush better. I played trumpet for may years, and I can say that he is bad, also he is just a joker-mockery
I think if he wasn't trying to gyrate like Elvis Presley, he wouldn't have had as many rough notes, and who on earth would dress a boy into a neon pink "fluffy" shirt like that? I wouldn't put something like that on a girl, much less a boy. He has some talent but needs refinement. It would be interesting to hear him when he's in high school if he still plays. And why does anyone play a soprano trumpet? It's cute but it looks like a toy. Not impressed.
Lillian Bleano, if you are 8 or younger I will take your comment into consideration. If you are older than it is dismissed. I think he did a wonderful job, I too can play better than him. However I am older. He is also playing on international television. I'm sure I would not play very well if I knew millions of people would watch, try to think about that. I think he is a wonderful young trumpet player, and has miles of potential.
Look, its very hard to play trumpet, i know because I am in band. SO stop saying he is bad and think you can do better. its not just you push a button down you have to high your lips and blow very hard. Stop making this kid like he worked for nothing with his $1500 trumpet. PS I bet you dont know what the parts of the trumpet are!
FairerOwlGaming The cost of his instrument is irrelevant. Part of the reason that the actual sound is not that good is not because the trumpet is hard to play, but because he is focusing on things like pointing, winking, and shaking his hips and shoulders before he's actually developed a good tone and accurate articulation. To play the trumpet isn't hard; to play it well is (as is the case for pretty much any instrument). Currently, this kid can do the former but not the latter, but that's ok, no-one is pretending that he's the next . "An amateur practices until they can play it right, a professional practices until they never play it wrong".
This performance was so lacking musically because they made him focus on his stupid dance and double instrument gimmick that just made it worse. No fancy theatrics, maybe a flashy entrance/exit but I speak from a decent amount of experience playing trumpet- nobody should be forced to parade around in that attire, shake their hips like that, and play trumpet well, it doesn't work. Marching band practices 8-12 hours daily (depending on what high school band or if it's drum corps) and manage to move and play at the same time with a specific style, having him run around the stage and dance while playing is just stupid.

Right!
Same
Lol when he starts dancing he looks like elmo when he dances
I was about to say that😂
pfft
Lol omgg 😂😂😂 your so damn true!
Basically if you're a kid you're gonna get past.
Yeah while normal people go to music school and pray for a decent job twerps like this make money with bad tone and being just so damn cute
not really
Crystalheart luk Yeah
+kevin conk he's not even handsome. he fking had a jedi braid
Omg yes!!!
We've been dumbed down to think making loud obnoxious sounds on an instrument makes you good.
Basic notes, basic sounds. It doesn't matter if he's 8 and started when he was 6. Two years is a lot of time to improve on a trumpet. He still plays like he just started
I started a few months ago and I'm better
I agree I play now 6 years but I think it doesn't sound that special bc he's dancing
Hey Dick weed, Keep in mind he doesn't have the muscles in our mouths or the diaphragm like he does ours are more developed than his are chances is that all you still play like you did when you guys started you forgot to mention he also has a somewhat decent tone, and he plays out, unlike some of you who probably hide behind the people who actually can play, i swear trumpet players have an ego the ocean couldn't fill..
he did play a cornet and trumpet at the same time, gotta give him dat...
hey did you know first of all, its really hard to go up in front of a croud, and its not basic, i play the trombone, and still as an eleven year old, i am not as good, and i think you should respect him, Can't you see he has leart it all by heart, and it is IN his heart, just all i ask you to do is respect others, even if you do not care for them
the background trumpets sounded better LOL
The3CoolKids I play trumpet
+The3CoolKids I play bari sax, and the first time I tried to play trumpet. I sounded better than he does.
maybe, but take away every visual and you have a sound that isn't that good. In this video presented here, the poor kid just isn't good.
The3CoolKids I play saxophone and trumpet let me tell you. Saxophone was super hard for me but trumpet I learned quicker
Definitely not good lol. I am a trumpet player. his intonation is pretty bad but hes also just a kid and probably way better than me considering this was 7 years ago.
I fell pretty upset after watching this video because I played a Pocket trumpet at his age and did pretty good but no one really cared.
Lol just kidding
Galaxy Guy omg i looked at your profile pick and thought there was a little hair on my phone 😂😂
Galaxy Guy ur everywhere
Rodgers
what's the difference on playing with a pocket trumpet vs a full size one? I've only ever played the full size trumpet. Is there a difference in difficulty?
In regards to when this kid was playing a full size because that is my area of expertise, he sounds like a year 3 kid who's just picked up the trumpet and learned all of 3 songs. This song sounds suspiciously similar in difficulty to Shepherd's Hey, which sounds impressive but is really not that difficult to learn.
(also playing two trumpets at the same time - what is that harmony)
Hey folks!
I've been teaching brass lessons to kids for 34 years. Believe me, this kid is outstanding for 8 years old- and especially live on TV!
"I started playing when I was 6" what is he like 6 and half now 😂
Lol I know
HAHAH!!!
No! I'm six and three quirters! As my neece would say /:
No shit! The point of the comment flew right over your head
Did you not hear the end? It said he was 8!
I heard him loose his note a couple times but hes better than most of my middle school trumpet players.
He is not bad
Your middle school trumpet players must suck
@Mathew Johnson I was saying that because if he said he's better then middle school kids he must need to get a better band director because that's sad
listening to this, as a current 8th grader, this sucks.
I know, I know, its mean and he's young, but the adults gave him too much credit.
literally 7/8's of that song was a low c.
that's the first note you learn
the highest note was a High C or D
his embouchure was literal shit, it was like brian hoyer in the 2015-2016 AFC wild card.
I'm going into 9th grade now too and yore right, he sounds like the second trumpet section in my band, loud and annoying.
Lol I just started playing cuz I'm going into Gr. 6 And I could probably play that. I know all the the notes That he played and HE was playing form two years and ive been playing for not even a week. Like a lot of kids coulda probably do that and or better.
Omg i am in 8th too and i agree with all of what you said and i LOVE how you related it to the nfl. I love football
He didn't even play a high C he played a Middle D
You can't exactly just say "no" to him. For the sake of peasant vision and not damaging the kid's self esteem. Sure, he sounds crap, but would you be prepared to tell him he sounds like ass in front of a land of convicts?
THE REVEAL OF THE BLEACHED RAT TAIL GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK OMG
LOL BLEACHED RAT TAIL LOL that's so true! xD
Agree
Csodálatosan szépen játszik ez a kicsike fiú! Gyönyörű szép! Köszönöm szépen!
He used to go to my primary school, and I remember we were all cheering for him in class. I remember he stabbed a girl with scissors.
+caraxyz Wait, waht?
Y u always Lyin
mmm stop fuckin lyin
+Aemort that song is horrible
Wait.. What?
Ok lets be honest, the judges put him in because he is cute, he doesnt actually sound all that good.
Billy Bob true
Billy Bob T-Rue
Billy Bob yeah true
HE PLAYS BETTER THAN ME
Billy Bob he was playing cornet and trumpet at the same time and it still was pretty good
All dislikes are actual trumpet players
clapping "on tempo" makes me cringe SO HARD
Ikr! It is so annoying
It hurts a little
And it puts you off because most time there arent on tempo
Ifkr i was like ugh
-_____- I expected a good trumpet player, all I got was dancing and bad decisions
hahah lol
rip embouchure
True.
lmao
Bad decisions for this kid to even be born.
Guys, don't make fun of him. He's a kid. Not to mention he's dancing LIVE with millions of people watching.
He's not a prodigy. But he's good for his age.
joe true
"How many times did you have to beat him to get 'em to do that?"
Playing two trumpets at the same time is a cool trick.
Eh, I'm not hating on the kid. That being said, I play trumpet myself and I will testify that he is average for a kid his age with two years of experience. He isn't awful, but he wasn't nearly as good as the judges were saying he was.

Can we just take a minute to relize how small his first trumpet is.
Yea lol it's called a pocket trumpet
@@SasukeUchiha-qz6bs Yep you can a pocket, anything! Tuba, Euphonium,Trumbone etc.
It’s called a cornet
@@Reiko9that aint no cornet bud

What a performance! LOL loved when he came closer and pointed at the judges, that was adorable!! But I hate the shirt, it looks like a clown costume
Australia must have a low expectation for talent...
I'm a 13 year old trumpet player. And this kid is better than a lot of the trumpets at my school
His cheeks are puffing out so much
That's not good either
I play trumpet to.
Ive been playing Trumpet for 2 years and I can pwn this kid, then again I was 5 years older at the time
0:57 bro rizzed up a woman at 8
To everyone saying you can do better, congrats! Although I doubt any of you played for only two years and started when you were 6.
2 years you should have decent tone, I started when I was 8 and had a concert level tone in about 6 months.
Lance Pate Well then you have a great talent. However, 1. I know people fourteen+ that did not sound good in six months and actually quit the trumpet. 2. This kid started when he was six. SIX!

+Lance Pate a bass
+Jeheiel Smith Guess the neck did look too long to be most guitars. Keep on it, man, bass is a great theory instrument, I guarantee it will improve your soloing on every other instrument.
That was adorable why do people have to be so rude hes just a beginner he did pretty good for being a beginner
He isn't good enough to be on this show, much less play the trumpet for any type of crowd.
low standards in Australia
ikr
He’s only 6 ;-;
Judges need to stop being so sympathetic to kids. This isn't the "awww i'll let you go through just because you're a kid show".
Could you have done better, at 6 years old memorized? Most likely not,
+American For Life I'm not trying to say I'm better than the kid. If the judges think that they can pass that performance up as "talent", then they clearly need to re-evaluate their jobs. Tough love.

no wtf
sorry about the typo
You don't say
im back in band now as a sophomore in highschool
Love how u dance with the music love your trumpet salsa
AND I THOUGHT I WAS TALENTED!!😭😫🎶🎼🎹🎵🎷
He
Hasn't got to the age of embarrassment.sooooo jelly.
For a little kid he's freaking awesome! He'll only get better from here.
How did he make it to the semi finals??
He's like 12 now
15
Cubing W/ Nick this was uploaded In 2009 and he was 8 years old then he's probably 16 now
He's having fun!! More to him! He'll get better with time and practice. :-)
I know he's young but his embouchure is crap and his phrasing is awful
T.M.C !! He's 15 now he can play better than you now for sure
+Blobfish Well he was talking about the time of this video, obviously.
He’s a kid man
This is crap playing. And to all you people saying to cut him slack because he is young and plays 8 instruments wtf? Just because he can play 8 instruments doesn't mean he is good at them. The judges shouldn't have even let him get that far.
Older Thanu can u play it better then
Yeah I can
But can you play 8 instruments and play two trumpets at the same time
Blobfish Forlife See what you don't understand is there is a difference between being able to play something and being able to make a noise on it.
Older Thanu agreed it takes no skill to make sound on the instrument like he was
When I saw the thumbnail of this video, I was expecting some damn Freddie Hubbard licks, this is like. As good as my band director
honestly he was good for his age. guys he is only 8. there lungs r smaller then ours so he cant reach the higher notes ye
What's up with the trumpet change in the middle and all the dancing, he could've played a lot better if he didnt destroy his embochure with all that crap.
Hmm let's see, could you play at the age of 8. Better yet! Play 8 instruments!?
I'm not telling that I could do better (Even tho I could) I'm just telling that if he was sit down playing it would've sounded a lot better, but the judges barely know what music is.
That is true. The judges do suck. LOL
Mr Donut they probably dont want to look like a villan just becuase they said he wasnt good
Lp Launchpad boy I'm pretty sure that's just a pocket trumpet cause a piccolo trumpet would have 4 valves
I haven't even been playing for a year and my new band teacher gave me first alto sax with all of the song's melodies. Some songs have alto sax solos. There are three other altos in my band.
Absolutely awful
there are so many people in my section who are a FRESHMAN who play worse than this. Yes they're a trumpet and they sound awful.
Melissa Smallwood-Baker theres u first problem...there freshmen
Melissa Smallwood-Baker You must have a pretty bad band then
***** well we r a 7th grade band. we sound great and we r going 2 orlando this spring. we still do beat this kid (no offence u r great)lol.
Melissa Smallwood-Baker ya your band just sucks.(no offence)
The trumpets in my band barely play that good
dude then I never want to hear the trumpets in your band if they can't play better than that
same, the second trumpets suck badly in my band
My school is poor af... but there is a town called Lansing in Mi... they sell & rent them so we all basically have new 1s
No shit youre donald trump
babyansel lol
i cant believe this channel is 2009 subs, and is Australia's Got Talent 2009
Very shit, but for his age amazing.
hell yeah
no shit dude
+Von Steiner actually wasn't even that bad, yea he still messed up quite a bit, but it's just cause he kept dancing around, hard to keep a good embouchure when constantly moving around like that.
my grandma plays better than him
Abby O'Meme no trumpets shouldnt sound like that
I would do 2 trombones.
I would do to 2 saxophones 1 tenor and 1 bari
Coles Exotics or four violins
Jordan Miller which one
Jordan Miller alto sucks do tenor and bari
+Ghetto Sausage I don't own a bari, and I too do not prefer alto, that's why I sold it
Best trumpet player I've ever seen!
They're clapping on 1 and 3 make them stop
***** Same with my school, except they clap on 1,2,3 and 4.
Not bad nor to good
Whoever disliked this... (my opinion) they are wrong! This was a very good performance!
Making a kid clown around in that ridiculous outfit is nothing short of child abuse. Let the kid play his damn horn with dignity and earn his celebrity as the musician he is, not some damn Jon-Benet Ramsey monstrosity.
Imposed precociousness is indeed a form of child abuse. Making a child an addict to celebrity and media attention will make him an addict to other truly worst things just to get that same rush of being the center of things when the limelight is gone…and it will be gone, for the public is fickle and always hungry for the "next act".
***** Do you dress like that?
I rest my case.
hes very good for 6 years old, but like, hes not that good yet
I know he isn't that good now, but he's 8. Most of the people hating are 15 or 16. Imagine how good he could be if he practiced for another 8 years. I've been playing for 4 and a half years now and I'm getting decent. This kid could be a legend when he reaches my age.
He was good until he played two
Lauren Jennings Agreed. But you know it is pretty difficult to play two trumpets
how did he play two trumpets at the same time?
Obelisk The Tormentor you put one of the mouthpiece on the side of your mouth and the and the other mouthpiece on the other side. Trust me though, it does not sound good. Like, at all.
Obelisk The Tormentor I believe he was playing a trumpet and a cornet at the same time, or at least I think that is a cornet, cornets typically have 4 valves.
Declan Bartlett pocket trumpet
aaah. Thank you for the correction fine sir.
Declan Bartlett Piccolo trumpets can have four valves or three rotaries. The fourth valve add a fourth so you can play lower than a three valve trumpet which is a below staff F#.
The trumpet playing is AWESOME
I'd have much rather heard him play trumpet without all the dancing and the hype that were detrimental to his embouchure, accuracy, tonal quality and fluency. Let the kid play without Hollywood showboating and he'll be very good. Keep this up and he'll eventually quit in disgust.
what the hell i just saw?? :D
For a kid he's tone quality is pretty damn good. Plus he memorized the whole thing.
not good at trumpet at all i only heard basic notes and i wont be nice just because he is young on my first day practicing i reached those simple crappy notes
It's funny how some trumpet "expert" says those lower notes are crappy.
Denver Thompson I think he's pretty good
nevaeh corrales For an 8 year old that was good.
Denver Thompson I said cheaply because he squeaked over and over again
Ya
from a trumpet player's perspective, it was eh. they acted like it was way better than it was
For all you people who are hating on this eight year old child you need a new set of ears because that was good some people in my band class can't play as good as this child did if you read this comment boby Harrison keep moving along and ignore the haters
you sir have a case of notwatchedthewholevideotitus
Umm is that a trumpet ??? A trumpet is way more bigger thats a mini cornet
pocket trumpets are just shorter and more wound up
+The Undescribable piccolo trumpets and pocket trumpets are completly different things
+The Undescribable *Valves
They need Simon
NOW THAT KID HAS TALENT! I wish I play like him on my trumpet!
The judges on these shows know nothing about musical instruments and what sounds good in them cause all they focus on is dancing and singing.
he was, but the judges were glorifying him like he was amazing
+Galaxy Guy Yes he was very
Well, I mean he is 8. HIs parents/teacher should not have let him play both trumpets as the intonation will never be pleasing to the ears (just based on the anatomy of the trumpets). Dancing is hard enough for some people and this kid was able to regulate his breathing (that's cardio he's doing, guys) and play. Don't attack his sound quality. He probably sounds a lot better sitting down.
Why would these judges pretend to enjoy sitting through this crap?
I've seen many videos of kids this age playing an instrument but I just don't understand how they learn this that quick!
This shows no musical talent whatsoever. He has been coached in all the tricks of showbiz.
honestly, I get it. he's a kid, and it's nice that he's playing on this show. but it's actually really simple to play two trumpets. people who think that's cool have never seen it before. he's also extremely out of tune and keeps moving, so it ruins his air flow. as much as I hate to hate on this kid, I've seen much better people at his age, who have been playing for less time.
I commented above basically saying the same thing, I agree
Literally all the comments are "well I could do this" or "I'm better" he's eight and for an eight year old that's talent. For an adult that would be terrible, but since he is a kid, that is talent. Haters are so ignorant😂👌🏻
+Andrew Black Exactly!!!!
I don't hunk I would even call that good for his age if he has the nerve to get on Australia's got talent
Yall seriously need to chill. Because with Moving and playing obviously MEMORIZED music for his age? This is Pretty good. I've seen worse. I'm a trumpet player myself. So I know the struggle. Learn a scale before you judge. Please ✋
Taylor Maynard I’m an All State musician. This is nothing compared to what marching bands have kids memorize, and don’t get me started on the solo repertoire that exists out there.
Nicole Channel That was my point?
I was 9 years old and could play grade level 6 music. Now I'm in high school and I am one of the top trumpet players in my state and I have made all state band every year. I can play every brass instrument and every woodwind instrument and I can play the drums harp piano guitar.
good 4 u
whyvu always lying
Who gives a shit?
nobody gives a single fuck
+Jackson Woodard BITCH PLEASE
Cringe
He's ok... He squeaks on every note... He can play notes, but his tone is terrible...
I have been playing trumpet for 3 years and if this kid could be on one of these shows then I could win one of these shows. I can play like 2 octaves above him with much better sound quality. Like he is good for his age and the fact he has only been playing for 2 years but come on this kid a lot of special treatment.
the dancing. it's terrible
He's bad at trumpet
in musical schools people starts at five or six, at least those who are amed to become professionals like "the greatest entreteiners" and at the age of eight they play mush better.
I played trumpet for may years, and I can say that he is bad, also he is just a joker-mockery
Hes good for a kid. FOR A KID.
For a kid his age, it was a very good audition. For a talent show against adults that can actually compete, it was a very meteocre performance
I would hit that x a lot of times hi's embouchure was way off
I think if he wasn't trying to gyrate like Elvis Presley, he wouldn't have had as many rough notes, and who on earth would dress a boy into a neon pink "fluffy" shirt like that? I wouldn't put something like that on a girl, much less a boy. He has some talent but needs refinement. It would be interesting to hear him when he's in high school if he still plays. And why does anyone play a soprano trumpet? It's cute but it looks like a toy. Not impressed.
This is better than the half of trumpet in school
That's not that good.... In fact that sucked. I can do that and more.
***** are you on tv showing off how "great"you are at this instrument? no? didnt think so.
Lillian Bleano, if you are 8 or younger I will take your comment into consideration. If you are older than it is dismissed. I think he did a wonderful job, I too can play better than him. However I am older. He is also playing on international television. I'm sure I would not play very well if I knew millions of people would watch, try to think about that. I think he is a wonderful young trumpet player, and has miles of potential.
typical trumpet ego lol
this kinda sucks even for a little kid
Name one more 8 year old kid who can play a trumpet "Plays jeopardy music"
every kid in the fourth grade that is in band
he's little chill holy shit and he's pretty good for someone that age
He plays very bad
Look, its very hard to play trumpet, i know because I am in band. SO stop saying he is bad and think you can do better. its not just you push a button down you have to high your lips and blow very hard. Stop making this kid like he worked for nothing with his $1500 trumpet. PS I bet you dont know what the parts of the trumpet are!
FairerOwlGaming The cost of his instrument is irrelevant. Part of the reason that the actual sound is not that good is not because the trumpet is hard to play, but because he is focusing on things like pointing, winking, and shaking his hips and shoulders before he's actually developed a good tone and accurate articulation. To play the trumpet isn't hard; to play it well is (as is the case for pretty much any instrument). Currently, this kid can do the former but not the latter, but that's ok, no-one is pretending that he's the next . "An amateur practices until they can play it right, a professional practices until they never play it wrong".
FairerOwlGaming Bro i'm 17 i play trumpet and i have to tell you he was pretty damn bad,
I play 5 years trumpet and his sound just wasn't right
@faierowlgaming i play THE trumpet for like 5 years so....
This performance was so lacking musically because they made him focus on his stupid dance and double instrument gimmick that just made it worse. No fancy theatrics, maybe a flashy entrance/exit but I speak from a decent amount of experience playing trumpet- nobody should be forced to parade around in that attire, shake their hips like that, and play trumpet well, it doesn't work. Marching band practices 8-12 hours daily (depending on what high school band or if it's drum corps) and manage to move and play at the same time with a specific style, having him run around the stage and dance while playing is just stupid.
I'm ur 1000th sub you are awesome!
Well he’s probably better now after 9 years.
