He plays the high notes so calmly, whenever I try and do a high note, my face goes all red
SAME BRO
mine sounds like a dying duck when I go past E-flat 3, then I go red...
Start slower and lower... Watch your mouth placement focus on how you blow... You should not squeeze air out.
Relax don’t push it with your throat

id like ur comment but im too childish to ruin that perfect 69
I play the trumpet and you can do the same excercise there. I know quite a similar excercise, but I just want to add that how you did it, most of the persons might do it wrong.
You told everything right, but if for example some beginners want to improve their height and do this at home they'll make mistakes for sure.
So just for some beginners watching this video: once you do this excercise, maybe begin with some shorter excercises, it is really important that you don't change the position of your lips! He said it, but you saw him breathing. But he's professional, he is not changing the position of his lips, so in the beginning maybe start with shorter excercises and try to avoid breathing.
Try to do the whole excercise with only taking breath once or at least twice if you take breath in the beginning and once you begin from the upper notes going down!
Wow, just wow! I had to stop the video, grab my euphonium, and try it. Great tip!
Cool :) I feel that ear training is very vital to the process as well...especially in the high range, where the notes are closer together. I teach range development differently, but with brass there's more than one way to achieve the same result. I stick with the method that works best for that particular student. This is another tool that I can have in my belt, so thank you. I'll reference you, of course, if I use this.
dctrmusic brass hey could you please help me out hitting my high notes?
If it's so basic, why does no one else tell you this stuff? Thank you, my brother.
This video has really helped me. What I noticed today, I really need to keep my torso tight and take in a lot of air and focus that air through my flexed (but relaxed) torso through the arch in the back of my tongue. Keeping my torso tight helps keep the air fast from the get go. This was my missing key. And keeping a flat chin and a tight embouchure. Like Mr. Matonizz said, the angle of the back of the tongue is key. Playing euphonium for over 1 month now after 10years off. Solid high G now. Working towards High B
There's no such thing as "flexed but relaxed". I suppose one could say "partially flexed" as opposed to "fully flexed".
A tight torso closes your throat. You can prove this by flexing your torso as tight as you possibly can, and then try to talk. It's impossible to do this without there being some amount of strain in your voice. That's because your throat is partially closed from the muscle tension in your core. A closed throat speeds up the air for the same reason putting your thumb over the end of a waterhose speeds up the water. So it'll certainly help increase your airspeed and thus your high range, but you pay for it with added strain in your sound. It's certainly possible to still make a "pretty good" sound with torso tightening, but the absolute top players in the world with the most world-class sounds will certainly advocate against this. Torso tightening is the "quick and easy" path...the real key is developing good inhaling technique, and efficient aperture control in the embouchure. I'm talking about the level of aperture control where one can generate a freebuzz with the most minimal of lip squeezing and can maintain it without it fizzling out.
Why am I even watching this I play tenor sax
This definitely helps with developing your upper and altissimo range! (This coming from a mellophone/alto sax player)
It's not too late to switch to a real instrument.
@@majcrash oof
@@majcrash 😂😂😂
I play the tuba..
This video is brilliant. A revelation for me as new brass player. Thank you.
Dude, i absolutely adore your videos, they are great inspiration and i love listen the beautiful music you and your band makes. Im a highschool freshman and i also play euphonium and I absolutley adore it. Also one quick question, what nationality are you?
Thanks friend, glad you like my content. I'm from Lithuania :)
Hey euphonum freshman as well!
Lone Muffun hi!!
i have to play consistently above the staff on Bb tuba for an audition coming up. thanks for the vid!
Listening to the first note I was like jeez wow I need to be that time to practice 11:54 PM
Most people: Omg! Thank you so much this is innovative!
Some people: ACTUALLY..... youre wrong
Me: wHaT tHe FuCk iS yOuR aCcEnT?
Haha wow you’re so quirky and unique xD
Bari Camilicious | I’m pretty sure he’s Lithuanian.
I remember not learning about this nor even about buzzing until I got to college. Had a terrible Euphonium professor. He was a great performer but a horrible teacher who only wanted students who were already good. I actually learned from the Trombone professor when I took lessons for the bass trombone for Jazz
Love these style of vids really helpful coz that is defo my biggest issue is my range especially my high like my lower is pretty good I’d say (I play tuba btw) but my high is shocking so ye will defo try these
i am new to band, and ive had a lot of trouble playing higher notes like high bB, and even something as simple as f
Great video! I'm 25 and getting back into my euphonium that I haven't played since high school. I am now a Speech-Language Pathologist and definitely appreciate you highlighting the tongue placements for vowels and how it affects the notes!! Just curious, why @10:35 did you choose the vowel /u/ (Oops) for the low notes, as this vowel is at the top of the vowel quadrilateral? (The vowel quadrilateral is a map of where your tongue is in your mouth when you make different vowel sounds). I would think /ɑ/ (hot) or even /æ/ (hat) would help more?
I really want to get better cause sadly all my band mates don’t believe I can ever be good at baritone so I’m trying my best
If they’re saying that, they ain’t your mates. Keep working and you’ll get better!
SIMPLE TECHNIQUE that will help you INCREASE RANGE and FLEXIBILITY no matter what brass instrument you play. Thanks for participating in the poll and hopefully you find this useful and informative.
Какого хрена было написано на русском?
No this is bad you’re just changing your embrasure and applying more pressure
I've been such a busy teacher the past few years that I have hardly been able to play. I'm currently trying to get back in shape, and I've noticed, whether I'm on tuba or euphonium, that I hit a point where I can't seem to produce a buzz. My lips are free and I'm not pressing the mouthpiece into my face, so I'm not sure what's going on. There's a nice clear tone, and then nothing a half step higher. This tends to be around C5.
Fantastic video. Very helpful. Thank you
i play trumpet and this helped more then you said it did
Thank you, this video was very helpful.
nice avatar

Hi, This video helped me a lot! Quick question though, where did you get the range training sheets? Because I would love to use those in warm up, again, thanks!
Hi friend, glad you found this video useful. Sheet music can be found here :)

I have been playing brass for over 50 odd years mainly euphonium, baritone, EEb andBBb bass. How much importance do you put in developing lung capacity?
Thank you very much ! 😍😍😍
Thanks for the tips and guidance. Your passion is such wonderful inspiration.
Thank you very much. I always appreciate your content!
Wonderful intro
This video is sooooo helpful
Am learning euphonium, for very first time, now I don't know how to control it, and how to sound it while playing, how can I improve?😢😢😢😢
Nice teaching and technic
Glad you found it useful!
@@Matonizz you are now my idol and David Childs
I do french horn. Don'the know why I am watching this. Can anyone give me some advice about how to play the high e on F horn.
I also play the horn and my highest note so far is high f. This video is actually quite helpful. Try one of the high vowels? I tried it awhile ago and got the high e. Don't tighten your lips too much and focus on your tongue. 👍
I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist and have played trombone and euphonium for over 10 years. This advice is applicable to all brass instruments. Try high vowels like /i/ (heat) or maybe /u/ (hoot). Google "IPA vowel quadrilateral with examples" if you need more help with these vowels for high/mid/low notes. The vowel quadrilateral is a map of where your tongue is in your mouth. Good luck and have fun! 🙂
Wow that's amazing! I will definitely be adding this to my practice routine!
Great!
I can’t even hit an high A properly…..unless if I’m very lucky

Maybe you should *practice* spelling too
@@madisontaylor2940 Maybe you should loosen up a bit. Being too tightly wrapped might shorten your life.

Hello...ive jsut taken up tenor horn...ive watched a video for trumpet and how to form emboucer in four steps, is this the same for tenor horn
I'm trying to play higher. I like playing up octaves because it sounds better to me.

Just a quick question, I do personally like silver euphoniums better then gold ones but why do you never play gold ones
Como haría para escucharte en español. Esta muy bueno pero me gustaría tu teoría en español.
Lo mismo digo
Aprendan inglés no es tan difícil y fortalece el oído :P
Euphonium on top, rare but we exist
Here's a very basic question: How are the notes in the 'gap' between the highest pedal tone and the 'normal' range of the instrument being filled in? I have a 'basic' three-valved euphonium and a 'straight' tenor trombone; I can fake such notes somewhat on the trombone but they are of poor quality.
You would need a 4 valved euphonium for that range really :/
It's possible to fill the range by lip bending of course, but that needs a hell of a tonne of practice to develop reliable accuracy there
@@staccatopeony Thanks! Since my original comment, I've gained a few instruments. I have both a Conn 20J and an Olds 099 tubas, and on these instruments I can get down to a low C on both (but it is weak on the latter instrument). I seem incapable of getting the Bb pedal tone on either. (I've read that at least those big Conn horns are quite good at getting the 'false' tones.) I bought the Olds horn recently--I had considered getting a 4-valved tuba, but then realized the 4th valve wouldn't be of help if I can't loosen my lips enough to buzz that pitch. Having the tubas makes me feel less 'pressure' to play such low notes on the euphonium, trombone, and the Conn 14-I baritone I also have. Interestingly enough, I also have a Conn 14-C alto horn (currently in F, as I haven't installed the extension tubes), and I find that I can get the pedal tone F--but also the F an octave lower, which is the same pitch as the low 'ordinary' F on the tubas!
Needless to say, I'm having a lot of fun with these instruments, which also include a Blessing B-125 trumpet, and Olympian, Yamaha, and Conn Director cornets, and an old 1924 Conn "French horn alto' (I usually just call it an old-fashioned mellophone--someone used the terms "antique" and "obsolete" to describe it, but I love playing it.)
What euphonium is that?

Hi Algirdas. hope you are well I have tried your Patreon site but unable to sign up just get the revolving circle.
Hi Graeme, have no clue why that happens, try again later and if that happens send me a screenshot and I'll email support. Sorry for inconvenience!
wait why does it say percussion in the description
Hi this helped me go higher but I’m still bad so I’m just going to give up
If you haven't yet, you shouldn't
Im not liying !! But im playing the euphonium too
Where do i go on euphonium i always wanted to play in a orchestra but there are none 😢
Just about the only thing you can do is join a wind ensemble. There's plenty you can audition for, or I'm sure there's a community band in your area you can join as well. The only other thing you can do is switch to trombone. That way you can still play in an orchestra and occasionally get to play euphonium if the piece calls for it.
Cornel Botnaru just learn how to play trombone I love the euphonium but it's easier to get into an orchestra and bands if you're playing the trombone
Double on tuba. When there's call for euph, you're ready!
Learn tuba or trombone
Well luckily Euphonium players can easily switch to a lot of instruments
Good evening. how are you? what's the brand of your mouthpiece? thank you.
I think it is a Denis Wick SM or a SM/X
Thanks a lot for the video, it helps me a lot as a beginner. I play a trumpet and moving from a trumpet mouthpiece to a baritone mouthpiece is like playing with no mouthpiece at all. Towards the end of the video you go below the (y)A(wn) to the O(ops). why ? isn't the (y)A(wn) the lowest? then what is the difference between the O(ops) below the (y)A(wn) and the O(ops) above the (y)A(wn)? thanks.

Any advise for bassoon?
Switch to euphonium :D with all seriousness this applies to woodwinds as well buddy :)
Why are bassoons better than oboes? They burn longer! Cheers, mate!
@@majcrash 😂😂 hearing this for clarinet all the time. Still have to laugh.
What if I have played trumpet for 4 years, have a wide extent of music theory, am amazing at improvising, but cant play anything higher than an A above the staff. My lessons teacher says my embochoure looks perfect and my airflow is great. I practice on the daily. I cant play high. Help.
Something like range is not determined by how good an improviser you are. It takes time and patience, the common Misconception is that if you simply move your tongue and vowel shape it will fix your range. Give it time. Have patience and realize that there is no rush to play the highest notes possible. Slow and steady practice is the right way about it.
@@jonathansalcedo2522 Glad to hear that! I'm playing again after many years, coming along ok, but the quality of my high notes are still lousy.
I am from Brazil And i can play euphonium
Brass instruments seem to be popular in Brazil. Is this true?
high notes sound like a thermin soooo sci fi brass
Don’t use an ‘ee’ sound, use an ‘ah’ sound. It creates a better tone
And here I thought an 'ah' vowel wouldn't help with your high range
What’s the time stamp for the intro
Show
what do we do when we can't play the yellow notes?
Take them down an octave
Play the brown note
Bru I passed out trying to play a high F
I still can’t play high 😔
I feel you
What kind of mouthpiece is that ?
I think it is a 4g with gold rim
anyone a tuba player here?
high notes aren't my problem...it's the low notes for me.....
I wish Im able to hit high notes like you can. I can hit very low notes very easily though haha
As a brass player and music educator I think you should reevaluate your video. The purpose of the beautiful sounds exercise is to make your tone, vowel shape, and air consistent throughout your slurs. By changing your vowel you are changing your tone quality and causing a lot of tension in your throat which will slow down your technical playing and cause bad habits. When working on high range you really want to focus on how you are producing sounds in your low range. Also, make sure that since octaves are just doubling the fundamental frequency you're trying to make, you are focusing on making your aperture half the size of what it was for the lower octave, and use twice as much air. Think of it like if you put your finger over a garden hose. The same amount of water comes out but since there is less room for it to come out it must move much faster.
The water comes out faster because the limited flow restores the pressure. This scenario is not present in brass playing. The lung pressure is always present just before the aperture.
ahh I wish I could understand what he is saying.
My friend, click the subtitle button and you will able to see subtitles during the video in order to follow what I'm saying
Mmmm....Are you trombonist?
Euphonium89 euphonium
why the fuck am i here im a drummer
No… You’re changing your embrasure the whole time that’s really bad and cheating the whole point of the exercise, and you should NEVER EVER have a Eh vowel while playing euphonium or trombone EVER this will make your playing worse later on
Tiner Towner who’s the profesional here
@@joshuafuentes5411 You spelled embouchure wrong too
There's good fundamental ideas, then it all changes at the extremes of range. This is true for literally anything from voice to brass to sax.
Tiner Towner fuck off
I don't want to hear you talk I want to hear you play the euphonium there's too much talking in your video
Then pick a different video of his?😂
Sub thai piz
Subtitles are available, you just need to click the subtitle button
Your air speed explanation is purely myth. The tongue moves as related to embouchure effort. A firmer embouchure produces a higher pitch. It's that simple. I laughed when he said the air goes fester if it is moving downward. Uhm, air is essentially weightless.
Darryl Jones whos the professional here?
Oh, so being an instrumentalist also makes one a professional scientist or engineer?
Show me one study that actually measures air speed and correlates it to pitch.
Darryl Jones if im wrong, why is it a widespread tactic used across brass instrumentalists. i dont need a damn study to prove common knowledge. Algirdas Matoniz is a professional for a reason, he wouldn't just put it out there if it wasnt true.
@@WheelinWeenie if you are referring to the action of the tongue movement, yes it is used by most players and should not be discouraged. To attempt to explain it in terms of "air speed" is simply erroneous.
Sometimes "common knowledge" is actually a propogated myth.
Not to mention his RIDICULOUS comparison of air over the tongue to a bicycle over a hill.
Now if he is speaking metaphorically he should state that in the beginning.
@Evan Lin Lips are not ropes in free air. That is an invalid comparison. And the claim that air gains speed because it is going downward is irrelevant in this case. Did the air lose even more speed as it had to travel much farther up from the lungs? If that were the case the air would only flow back to the lungs. It is a ridiculous assertion that he is making.
When COVID started when I was in 7th grade things have been hard to catch back up to high school level playing. When I last started playing we wouldn’t really go that high up the highest I can play comfortably is a high B flat. I need help to catch back up what do i do to play higher (mouth position, embouchure tightness, air speed, tongue position, etc) all the fun stuff and I tried moving the back off my tongue up but it made no difference. any help would be greatly appreciated so I can play good again.
Where can I get the sheet music for this?
m1keg0nz idk where but for me I just took a picture of this on my phone and printed it
