I remember learning to whistle like that while getting my left nipple twisted off in middle school. Since then, I've never had a problem with my high rage, or my left nipple.

Hold on. What? How did you measure the air "speed" anywhere.? You are claiming that its less air flow. But for the air to be "faster" for the higher tongue configuration. then the flow would have to be the same . Otherwise less flow through a smaller smaller space would be the same flow velocity for each case. Did you actually measure the air velocity ANYWHERE or actually do any actual detailed study on flow mechanics? Or are you just repeating some stuff you heard? Be honest

These are great exercises. I will give it a whirl and see what happens

Brian, thanks for offering these kinds of discussions. They are so, so, so, important for this musician.

Nice will give it a go

This is prolly the best explained I've ever heard

Pristine tone transitions and style!!! Only thing I wanted to hear again was a last iteration of melody at the final chord. Bravissimo!!!

I was genuinely moved by this piece.

Wow! What a piece! Bravo Alex and all the incredible players involved!!!

Congratulations Alex ! Terrific !!

Wow!

This is awesome! Well done!!

All musicians are singers! Yes, learn tunes and sing, ABSOLUTELY!!! Thanks Brian.

I genuinely find it hard to believe that Brian Hecht was never at the top of his studio in college. I don’t think he’s lying, but that’s insane.

Really beautiful stuff- some really gorgeous phrases and soaring lines. So easy to listen to, I felt it drawing me in by drawing me out of myself, rather like looking out into the night sky. Echoes of Ravel, beautiful simple modality... great stuff.

Gorgeous composition and stunning virtuosity!

Wow- this came out great! Thanks for including us in the process!

Such a beautiful opening texture and first couple phrases!! The slow movement really engaged me to want to internalize it-- gorgeous melody. Nice execution of the triplet figures-- such a hard thing to get so consistent! Bravo!!!

An amazing work and production ! Keep going through this path ...

Wow!! Such beautiful melodies here!! Keep up the great work man!!

Wow... Honestly. So good. Incredible man... keep up the good work!!

Oh yea dude!!! Beautiful production!

This is top notch well developed instructions. Heads & shoulders over any other high range development I’ve heard..,thanks 🙏 so much.

As a beginner trombonist in my middle (or later!) years, who learned the cello at school for 6 years because the trombones had all gone by the time it was my turn to choose an instrument, I'm grateful to have found such thoughtful and aware people who are keen to share freely their expertise and experience. I'm struggling with breathing and breath control and feel that the struggle probably lies more in my head than in my lungs (but then, I am fat and unfit!) so I hope I can take away quite a lot of information by listening to this conversation whenever I feel the need. Thank you both very much.

Do you practice all these exercises every day? Or do you stagger them on different days?

These exercises have made the high range I already have much better, and has made the range I struggle with a little easier to attain. Update: with these tips and exercises my range is improving still. A double Eb is becoming much more attainable.

Wonderful Interview. Keep up this great channel!

Okay, I have a question.... Why do I seem to hear an intermittent low note peeking in (especially noticeable in the first exercise)? Is this a resonating frequency in some of the recording gear or within the environment? Or does it have to do with the instrument?

I've been using the Chuck Colin book for flexible no tongue range building, but what about when we have to use legato tonguing in the higher register? Where does the tip of the tongue go?

This video just defied all of my beliefs on playing the high register. And made me realize my mistakes. Great video. Might use this to teach a bit to my colleagues in school. Nothing negative intended

Amazing perfomance! Sounds absolutely great! Is there any chance to buy this arrangement?

Glad I discovered your channel, Alex! Will be listening plenty more, thanks!

Thank you so much, it‘s pure gold!
