As a Trombone player myself with only a few months on experience, I shall say that he is doing good but I have some tips for him. First make your corners firm and tight like an awkward smile. Then buzz your lips it will make a good sound. After that you will need to focus on posture and position. Make a gun with your hand then make the tip of your pointer finger touch the bar above the slide bar, And for the slid don’t do a “Toddler grip” Make it like a talking hand then softly hold it. I hope this helps!❤
Playing the trombone involves a combination of proper posture, breathing, embouchure (mouth position), slide control, and practice. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you learn to play the trombone: 1. Assemble the Trombone • Parts: The trombone has a mouthpiece, a slide, and a bell section. • Assembly: Attach the slide to the bell section at a slight angle (about 90 degrees). Insert the mouthpiece into the smaller end of the trombone (leadpipe), but don’t jam it in-just a slight twist will do. 2. Proper Posture • Standing: Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart. • Sitting: Sit at the edge of your seat, back straight, feet flat on the ground. • Holding the Trombone: With your left hand, grip the brace near the bell section. Your left thumb should rest on the brace or thumb ring, and your fingers should curl around the instrument. Your right hand holds the slide at the bottom brace with your thumb and two fingers (usually index and middle). 3. Breathing • Deep Breaths: Inhale deeply from your diaphragm, not your chest. Keep your shoulders relaxed and expand your belly as you breathe in. • Steady Airflow: Exhale steadily and evenly. The key to producing sound is a controlled and continuous airflow through the instrument. 4. Forming the Embouchure • Mouth Position: Place your lips together as if saying the letter “M.” Relax your mouth and lips but maintain firmness in the corners. • Placing the Mouthpiece: The mouthpiece should rest evenly between your upper and lower lips, usually with a bit more of it on the upper lip. Keep your lips centered in the mouthpiece. • Buzzing Sound: Blow air through your lips to create a buzzing sound. Your lips should vibrate inside the mouthpiece. 5. Producing a Sound • With the mouthpiece in place, blow air into the trombone while maintaining the buzzing sound. • Pitch Control: Adjust the pitch by tightening or loosening your embouchure. Tighter lips and faster air produce higher notes, while looser lips and slower air produce lower notes. 6. Using the Slide • Slide Positions: The trombone has 7 primary slide positions that change the pitch: 1. First position: Slide fully in (home position). 2. Second position: Slide slightly out. 3. Third position: A bit farther out, in line with the bell. 4. Fourth through Seventh positions: Continue moving the slide out incrementally. • Move Smoothly: Slide should move quickly and smoothly between positions to avoid any jerky movements. Use wrist motion rather than arm motion for more fluid shifts. 7. Articulation • Tonguing: To start each note, use your tongue as if saying “ta” or “da” against the roof of your mouth. This helps create a clean start to each note. • Slurring: For smoother transitions between notes, practice not using your tongue but just moving the slide while maintaining airflow. 8. Reading Music • Learn to read bass clef, which is the standard clef for trombone. • Practice scales, starting with major scales (like B♭ major, C major) to familiarize yourself with slide positions and note combinations. 9. Practice Tips • Long Tones: Practice holding single notes for long periods to improve tone quality and breath control. • Lip Slurs: Move between different notes without moving the slide (e.g., going from low B♭ to F to high B♭) to strengthen your embouchure. • Scales and Arpeggios: Play scales regularly to develop muscle memory for the slide positions and to work on your accuracy. • Tuning: Make sure the trombone is in tune by adjusting the tuning slide located on the bell section. 10. Maintaining Your Trombone • Slide Lubrication: Apply trombone slide oil or cream regularly to keep the slide moving smoothly. • Cleaning: Rinse the mouthpiece with warm water after playing and clean the inside of the trombone periodically to remove buildup. 11. Stay Consistent • Play daily to build embouchure strength, slide accuracy, and breath control. Regular practice is key to improving your trombone skills. 12. Play with Others • Join a band or ensemble to learn how to blend your sound with other instruments and practice playing in different styles, such as classical, jazz, or marching band. By following these steps and dedicating time to consistent practice, you’ll steadily improve and enjoy playing the trombone.
once i watched what he did, this hurts my soul- .... AND IM A FLUTE PLAYER AND I CAN CLEARLY TELL HES NOT PLAYING IT CORRECTLY- .... but i still appreciate his effort
As a trombonist I once flipped a water bottle upside down on my mouthpiece and it was actually pretty funny. Water shot out the bell when I played. I genuinely started tweaking when he threw the trombone
did you not hear the part where he called it a tuba? And last I checked I was the one who played tuba at all state 2 years in a row and did region band 3 years in a row on tuba. Also I’m pretty sure you weren’t the one who played the Stars and Stripes solo on tuba at all state with the piccolos! Hope this helps!
not me being a trombone player and trying not to scream *YOU'RE HOLDING IT WRO- WHY DID YOU THE SLIDE THAT IS SOFT META- WAIT WHY ARE YOU POURING WATER IN THAT TU-*
i don’t even play these instruments(for reference i play the flute but im surrounded by these players) what triggered me the most is how he dropped the trombone and literally FILLED the euphonium with water😭😭

P.s. HE DID NOT CALL THE EUPHONIUM A TUBA AND HE DID NOT FILL IT WITH WATER 😭😭😭
He did both of those things and I am dying

I know right :)
As a euphonium player who used to play trombone, this hurts to watch
“I hate the trombone”
*proceeds to play it completely wrong*
As a euphonium player seeing him put water in there pains me so much

I agree with goofy, I am too a euphonium, and this very much touches my soul the wrong way 😢
IM A TROMBONE PLAYER THE DISRESPECT

It's a euphonium, I'm very mad abt this, what he did is unforgivable

As a euphonium player watching him call it a tuba and fill it with water to the brim makes me mad
as both a trombone and euphonium player, his songs are lovely

As a trombone player this hurts to watch but brings me joy that flamingo can at least make a sound ( he didn’t know how but he still made one)
Those are such nice instruments going to waste- as a trombone and euphonium player this is sad :C
The water key is literally bent 💀😭
0:49 it actually kinda sounds good
Tell me you’ve never played an instrument without telling me you’ve never played an instrument
He is getting a sound out of the euphonium at least and that’s the most positive thing I can say, but it doesn’t sound even remotely good.
I'm HEAVILY triggered by the trombone clip
"this is a song i wrote"
"💦💧💧💦💦🌊🌊🌊🌊💧🌊💦💧💦"
As a trombonist… this hurts… badly.
once i watched what he did, this hurts my soul-
....
AND IM A FLUTE PLAYER AND I CAN CLEARLY TELL HES NOT PLAYING IT CORRECTLY-

but i still appreciate his effort
As a trombonist I once flipped a water bottle upside down on my mouthpiece and it was actually pretty funny. Water shot out the bell when I played. I genuinely started tweaking when he threw the trombone
As a trombone player I can tell he will take such brilliant and wonderful care of those instruments
As a band player I want to faint now even more because flamingo was one of my favorite youtubers
I should follow in his footsteps but with my instrument. "Just fillin up the old synthesizer!" gonna go crazyyyyyyy
im screaming internally as a baritone horn player
As a trombonist and a tuba player this video hurt😭
you obviously aren’t a tuba player bc this isn’t a tuba, and that is something that someone who knows nothing about band would say
did you not hear the part where he called it a tuba? And last I checked I was the one who played tuba at all state 2 years in a row and did region band 3 years in a row on tuba. Also I’m pretty sure you weren’t the one who played the Stars and Stripes solo on tuba at all state with the piccolos! Hope this helps!
@@SWAYXElolalso I’m confident that you cannot go from playing song on tuba then immediately switching to piccolo halfway through the song🫶
@@Yourmummy907it’s not a tuba
@@umharr I KNOW IT ISNT. BUT HE CALLED IT A TUBA IN THE VIDEO
this guy is a menace to all trombone and euphonium players
bro just casually has a 4 valved euphonium
I'm pretty sure most euphoniums have 4 valves, either compensating or inline
As a trombone player, and occasional Albert enjoyer, this is a good video 👍
as a trombone player… what the fuck flamingo😭😭😭
Seeing him throw the instrument brought me so much pain.
As a euphonium player the pain of him calling a euphonium a tuba
As a rare Euphonium player when he did play it sounded like when I started playing
I’m scared that he’s gonna go for the sousaphone. (A sousaphone is a brass instrument that you wear and is used in marching bands)
I’m currently learning trumpet and this is how I feel 😔
lemme guess… you can’t play an Eb
@@SWAYXElol tbf there's a lot of those
@@Elloliott a lot of what?
I love the band students getting mad>:3
As a trombone and a Euphonium player.... this hurts
I play both and the left hand placement on the bone and valve placement on the euph hurts me
The disrespect is insane. As a trombone player, I’m ready to have a riot.
As a trombone player this hurts me.
As a trombone and Euphonium player, IM EXTREMELY TRIGGERED, like a F attachment trombone
not me being a trombone player and trying not to scream *YOU'RE HOLDING IT WRO- WHY DID YOU THE SLIDE THAT IS SOFT META- WAIT WHY ARE YOU POURING WATER IN THAT TU-*
"I wanna see what happens if tuba water😎" always gets me lol
As a trombone player I am shaking and crying rn
as a percussionist i feel hurt
“Trombone sucks”
*Proceeds to cram things in the bell*
I can feel trombones pain as a trumpet player
Such amazing songs
i wish he atleast knew how to hold a trombone
i don’t even play these instruments(for reference i play the flute but im surrounded by these players) what triggered me the most is how he dropped the trombone and literally FILLED the euphonium with water😭😭
I’m so glad he never played trumpet, knowing him he’d find a way to destroy it. Also hilarious how he called the Euphonium a “Tuba”
As another trombone player in this comment section. I am very triggered. He violated those brass instruments
As a Euphonium player, calling it a tuba AND putting water in it without cleaning it is a war call.
It is a tuba, though.
As a euphonium player I can say I am pissed off by the puffed cheeks and everything else
As a trombone player, I feel traumatized watching this man throw the trombone on the floor.
As a bass and tenor trombone player, I am livid
I think it would be safe to never let this guy get his hands on another trombone. Did you see the way he just throws it onto the ground?
As a euphonium player as soon as he pulled up the water I had to mentally prepare for a year
as someone who plays both this hurt me
as a trombone player, this video hurts me.
I am a saxophonist, and this hurts me.
As a trombone player this is torture
As a trombone player this hurts to watch
On behalf of all brass players, this video made me sad, and a little happy because it was kinda funny.
i have never suffered more by watching this video
As someone who has played both instruments i am now crying and the fact that he called the euphonium a tuba makes me want to remove my eyes and ears
As a trumpet player i don’t think i am feeling too well 😊
As a tuba player, that is not a tuba. As a trombone player, don't throw the trombone. As a euphonium player, stop filling it with water 😭
Incorrect. a euphonium is a Tuba.
Oh gosh, just wait until he plays trumpet
Bro that grip tho 😂
0:44 why does the euphonium have 4 keys?
First of all they are not “keys”, they are valves. Second of all, having a four valve euphonium is very common
My band teacher/trombore players would be triggered
DONT LET THIS MAN COOK ON BRASS
as someone who plays the baritone/euphonium you should never ever put water in there
As a trombone player he is intact correct, trombone sucks
Who gave this boi a 4-valve when he's never touched a euph in his life 😭😭
As euphonium player, this hurt me
I love flamingo but im crying on the inside watching this
As a brass player, this annoys me on a very, very, very deep level. 😭
give albert a grammy
I’m crashing out as and baritone/euphonium player tuba😂😂
I need therapy right now- THE EUPHONIUM IS NOT THE TUBE TUBE IS BIGGER😭😭😭
What I do with my enemys Tuba/euphonium 1:13
