You are a FABULOUS player. I'm using your techniques to build back my chops. I was a music major on trombone (on scholarship). I changed majors because I didn't want to work 300 hours a week as a band director. I started playing when I was 11, and I am now 50. I have so much to learn, as I took off 18 years from playing. You make the lessons easy, so I have more confidence now! Keep it up!

I'm crying your tone quality is so beautiful in this one

I'm a euphonium player, but this was really helpful. Especially with the range part lol You're amazing bro! I wish I can play euphonium as good as you play trombone tbh

My trombone teacher has moved to play in the Copenhagen orchestra so now your my teacher. Thanks a lot! Really helps, considering I'm the only trombonist at school and have to play in the band for our production of Cabaret so the high fast notes were something I NEED help with.

Thanks! Wish I had something like this when I was learning trumpet 8 years ago. Learning trombone basics on my own now so these helped big time!

Good advice. Wouldn't have thought of the double-tonguing thing but it makes sense and definitely made it easier and a smoother progression to the higher tempos

if only he could go back ten years for me to see this in time

I always thought like that. I wanted my trombone playing to sound like a valve'd instrument.

Thanks again for another great video.

Thanks Christopher that was really useful!

Wow thats some nice tone

Good tips Chris. Thanks for that.

Beautiful sound!

I would love to play a Thayer valve trombone! Looks great!

You’re a good boi

I've played the instrument for three years, yet I still find myself watching these videos. I have no idea why I'm watching them. Still, good job. That's pretty impressive.

I've played trumpet for seven, and euphonium for one, and I watch these videos for trumpet still

Great tips Sir

Thank you for all

0:59 what the hell, I've never heard anything like that before. I need to hear more stuff

You know it's pretty neat that these practice techniques transfer over to trumpet for the most part.

this guy is sooo good

this was helpful, thanks :)

Chris, play "Variations on the Carnival of Venice" by Bob McChesney! :O

Haha... that song at the end is HILARIOUS.

Ive always played trombone in a jagged motion. I was kinda taught that way. But would I be looked down on for that instead of using a smoother effect? Because normally I would sound the same, but if that's something closely eyed, I don't wanna do it again

Depends on how fast (or slow) you're playing. You don't want to ever smear the note unintentionally, so you will want to play with that “jagged” slide movement. But if you're playing at a point where you can't stop the slide at every single position, then you're already playing with that “smooth,” unbroken motion. You end up naturally switching between the two.

uh... what? REDICULOUS! So much i still have to learn

Legendary

I'm annoyed-that one chair is down...

What in your opinion goes against the jagged technique at fast tempi? One of my teachers (university professor) says to move the slide "late and fast" between different notes to prevent any glissandi.

Great video as usual, would you mind making a tip video using a "noob" trombone if you have one? Just because I think a lot of new player watch your videos and just use yls354's or similar types.

How about a video about the different types of trombone?

you are awesome

Im a 14 year old trombonist and i do have a problem with playing fast I've been playing for at least a year now I've played the dark adventure pretty good but i kinda got lost star Spangled banner as well as some christmas tunes and im the best out of the grade im in and i do have a problem playing fast so I'll try to do this but a much dumbed down way and maybe I'll be extremely good one day

I want to see it but on a beginner trombone without the trigger on it

Were did you learn this knowledge

This is helping me play Megalovania for band rn lol.

Hi Christopher. When a score mentions a trombone in B flat and it's not the tenor trombone, which trombone could that be?

@sammig.8286

8 жыл бұрын

+André van Haren I hear that the standard trombone is actually a B flat instrument, but it reads in concert pitch, especially when reading base clef. Is the part in the score in tremble clef or base? In the case of treble clef, you use the same trombone you would for base clef, but you read it similarly to as you would a trumpet. For example, any thing that is played open on the trumpet is played in first position on trombone, such as a C (concert Bb), G (concert F) etc. Similarly, second position corresponds to anything that is played with the second valve on trumpet, third position corresponds to first valve, fourth position with first and second together, fifth with second and third valve, sixth with first and third, and seventh with all valves pressed.

Whats that song at the end?

do you have any tips for improvising?

I'm still learning myself, but listen to as much great jazz as you can. Sing along with the solos. Improvising is half being able to play jazz and half knowing what that sounds like.

@blackout489

One good thing to remember is to derive your improv from the song you play it in. This keeps a recognizable theme throughout the solo (I'm assuming it's for soloing) while putting your own unique twist on it.

It's actually a large bore tenor. It's the industry standard for classical music, while the tenor you're probably used to is the industry standard for jazz! #TMYK
