  • One man plays "The Great Locomotive Chase" by Robert W. Smith. I did all of the recording and editing for this video. This is by far my favorite one man band that I've ever done! Thanks for watching!

    Hey, the video of you playing was really good!!!!!!!!!
    You are a true multi-instrumentalist + excellent high school band educator!!!
    We've been rehearsing this piece with the wind orchestra recently, and it's going to be very challenging.
    I am also responsible for teaching the wind band, and I am very happy to see more people sharing this!
    In addition, I am also responsible for the recording of our band, your video is very good, if you can have a professional music mixing it will be even better!
    If you need help, I think I can try mixing these audio

    Hey I just want to say I love your videos, very enjoyable and I can tell you're a talented educator. Just need to point out that the snare drum accelerando isn't being performed correctly here (this is the 2nd video I've encountered this error and I know your videos are popular), it's supposed to just be an even acceleration where every 2 measures the quarter note beat changes but the pulse of the snare drum doesn't change, it just keeps gradually speeding up. Basically the conductor would start conducting the quarter note, then 2 measures later the quarter note becomes the eighth note but the conductor still needs to conduct the new quarter note, then 2 measures later the eighth note becomes the sixteenth note. The rhythm shouldn't sound like it's changing from quarter, to eighth, to sixteenth, but rather that the quarter note just keeps getting faster. Again, love the videos, keep doing them! They are a great educational resource!

    • @GarrettJohnsonBand
      @GarrettJohnsonBand  Год назад +1

      I totally understand! However... doing that without a conductor would have been literally impossible. So I did it in the best way I could!

      @@Alex23music10 Ya oboe is not that hard I studied the fingerings about a week before, memorized them, and once I got an oboe I already knew a couple notes just by blowing and embouchure is not that hard. The only part I slightly struggled with is tonguing which took me a bit to learn because of my past instrument, trombone, that tongues way differently.
