Hi, I started this channel after experimenting with various instruments in lockdown, and rashly deciding to learn to play them all at once without any lessons 😬.
I also realised there aren't many recordings of exam piece music, especially for more unusual instruments, and pieces outside the official exam books.
Videos are playthroughs not performances. Some videos are edited from different takes and I cobble together the accompaniments, some of which are quite ropey!
How it's going (April 2023):
Clarinet - Grade 7 (re-learning)
Euphonium - Grade 8 (new favourite)
Tuba - Grade 5
Tenor Sax - Grade 4
Trumpet - Grade 5
Trombone - Grade 4
Oboe - Grade 4
Double Bass - Grade 1 (I rented one but had to give it back as it's too large - who knew...?)
Alto Clarinet - No grades available but on the lookout for music
Flugelhorn - Grade 2 (reached the limits of my cheap instrument)
Celtic Harp - absolute beginner
Accordion - messing about
Flute - I cannot play this, grr
Advice welcome!

I love the playing
Beautifully done. I find this a bit challenging as although I'm at this level, it tests your stamina quite a lot 😅
you're the rizzler skibidi

Played this in honor band in high school. Love it. #Clarinet
Bravo bro 👊 Im performing this piece tmrw for my grade 4 exam and i cant even get through it fully rn even though ive gotten fully through it before 😭
Good luck and take it easy!
@@watersnakeplays8678 i had my exam today…did not go too well 😭 My sight reading was a an absolute disaster and i made quite a fee mistakes across all 3 of my pieces. I got thro Russian gallop tho so that was good. Praying i dont fail 🙏

Nice job man. One quick thing though, please use the fourth valve. It looks you you got a nice compensating euph, so use it! Again, nice work. You've made a lotta good progress.

Wonderful playing! That is some talent, I could never remember all the notes and buttons

The speed first scared me when I watched just the accompaniment 3 vids ago, now realised I also come in the same time as the piano 😂
Thanks. This helped me to understand the piece alot better with all its strange timings
Sound's good.
Nice! Btw I really benefit from your euphonium videos for Trombone grade 5.

Holy cow! Those high notes are amazing! I've been struggling with my high notes for a while, and hearing them from you makes them sound amazing! Great job!
Tone and accuracy have improved across the videos! Good job!
Heya bud! How about Carnival of Venice? Have a good one!
Hey! Just commenting to let you know that, as a Trombone player, your videos have been incredibly useful for me. I am currently working towards grade 5 and I greatly appreciate all the effort you put towards your videos. Thanks.
