This is brilliant Bryan. Unfortunately, I’m off on holiday for 2 weeks, but determined to do this when I’m back. Will take a mouthpiece while I’m off but can’t take the trumpet.
I started yesterday. I was able to do the entire exercise along with you. Today was a little different. Needed more breath on low notes and has trouble with F # and G above the scale.
Hi Bryan, question for you...I'm a comeback player and one of the things we always did, and what I always do now to start my practices is long tones. I do them much longer than you are doing here. Does doing them for 32 or 40 counts matter? I do it for breathing, tone and control. Does the length of time matter?(counts-wise) Thanks! Hope to see you play live again here in NYC sometime soon.
Hi there. Good question! Since there'll be a wide variety of skill levels joining in with this, I'm starting out easy. We'll absolutely build up to longer tones as we go!
Hi Bryan, I'm onboard. I haven't done long tones on a steady basis in quite a while, so it will hopefully help with endurance as well as tone. One question. Where do you recommend doing this in the practice routine? At the very beginning, after a brief warm-up, after getting through everything else? Thanks!
Great! Obviously, euphonium will be at the same written pitch (if you’re a treble clef reader) when playing along, although the same sequence will work great on the tenorhorn.
So i was good until top f# and G started feeling little pinched on f# and on bothe the buzz was stoping here and there. On low Ab G and F# it was very hard to get the buzz going and maintian the buzz the whole duration.. had to pause the video and kept retrying. Is it that i am that weak? Or that i am doing improper technigue in the extreme registers of this excersie. The others resonate just fine.
I started off good and got up to about middle b natural and then things started feeling tense, i do long tones about 2 to 3 times a week is this normal?
I have marching band camp, and it very difficult in length, dynamics, tonguin and range . I come back home very tried and feeling destroyed. Is it a good idea to continue to work on long tones? Will this help me improve my playing ar band camp?
Bryan I feel like my lips end up closing when I try to go higher, I have an over bite so my trumpet goes down, I tend to go press more and put my trumpet lower when going higher yet there’s a limit to my range because of it, what should I do?
@@AirflowMusicNYC sadly yes I have, I don’t seem to find any other resource to increase the air pressure, I’m not sure if I’m using my tounge and abdominals correctly? I’m a tad bit lost 😅
I’m all in buddy, haven’t missed a day with you and the long tones have saved me. 72 and playing my best 🎺❤
Always great to see your name pop up, Deone. I’m glad you’ve found the videos helpful.
@@AirflowMusicNYC I almost like these better than the 30 second ones.
As always, many thanks Bryan. I did these long tones with you last year and have just discovered i shouldn't have stopped!! Dave from Reunion Island
You're very welcome, Dave. Time to get back on the horse! 😀
@@AirflowMusicNYC thanks Bryan :-)
Just found your channel. Consider today August 1st
Welcome! The videos aren't going anywhere, so enjoy going through your month of long tones.
This is amazing, think you for your effort!
Thanks for watching!
Im all in brother!
Welcome!
I’ve been playing long tones along with you everyday this year and will continue this month. Hope you are feeling better soon.
I know you’ve been all in for a long time now, John. I hope all is well with you and yours.
Marvelous I just started your "im rather enjoying this" series again and this pops up .... Im on board.
Magnificent! Thanks for still hanging in!

The videos aren't going anywhere, Ted. Have fun on your hols - they'll be good to build you back up upon your return.
Thanx for the nice rehearsal 👌
You're welcome.
I'm ready to play long tones every day for the next month!
Glad to hear it, Hugo.
What mouthpiece are you using?

Glad to have you with us, Jim. It's quietly a workout, so that's not uncommon. I'll be interested to see how you feel after a few more days.

Definitely after a warm-up, but otherwise it varies for me everyday.
lets do it
Excellent!
I‘m in. On Tenorhorn/Euph though
Great! Obviously, euphonium will be at the same written pitch (if you’re a treble clef reader) when playing along, although the same sequence will work great on the tenorhorn.

Hey Leo. It's a fairly long blow, particularly when you start out. Stick with it and see how you feel after a few more days.

If you’re that tired at the end of the day then rest! Maybe do them before you go in, in the morning.
What mouthpiece are you using.
That's my Schagerl Apredato. It's a custom piece that they converted for me, so it's not a model from their general lineup.
Bryan I feel like my lips end up closing when I try to go higher, I have an over bite so my trumpet goes down, I tend to go press more and put my trumpet lower when going higher yet there’s a limit to my range because of it, what should I do?
Are you trying to play higher by blowing harder, by any chance?

Ojalá hubieran subtítulos en español 😢 que fuerte no saber hablar inglés fluido.
I’ll make a better effort to make proper English subtitles, so hopefully the automatic Spanish subtitles can be as good as possible.
