Buzzing and the Bass Trombone w/ Brian Hecht

In this video I cover the methods I use on a daily basis to keep my buzzing fundamentals on point. The better you buzz, the better you play!
Brian Hecht plays the S.E. Shires "Lone Star" Bass Trombone with Greg Black 0G mouthpieces.

It's fantastic that you're giving this stuff away for free Brian. Thank you so much!

I feel like the dislikes on this video are actually a compliment in that it has made it far enough to get some trolls. There is very clearly no real reason to genuinely dislike this content!

[@Sam-nb1rm]

Thank you man I feel MUCH BETTER now! My embouchure can now be very firm and blowing the horn is much easier now! 😊

[@NickFinzer]

thanks for sharing Brian! Interesting, I've found buzzing too much to be kind of detremental... but you sound amazing, so I think it's different for everyone! :)

[@bassbonebrian]

Nick Finzer, thanks for watching! You’re absolutely right. I think it depends on what kind of player you are and what works best for you. We’re all different players and need different collections of practice techniques to be our best. You’re a prime example, you sound fantastic and buzzing is a small part of your routine, but it’s just the right amount for you to sound your best.
I think there are also different approaches between jazz and classical types of playing. What works for some of the great jazz trombonists may not translate well into what is needed on the orchestral stage and visa versa. Our jobs demand different attributes to be our strengths so I’ve found that jazz and orchestral musicians have developed their routines differently, yet equally effective.

makes sense! :)

I am new to this channel and appreciate absoluteley, what you are teaching, Brian. One Question: how do you achieve vibrato just on the mouthpiece alone?

[@bassbonebrian]

First, support the sound with a full, healthy air stream. Then think about “massaging” the air stream with your embouchure.

[@TheNorbert2010]

@@bassbonebrian I cannot imagine, that this works.. Shouldn't it have to do with diaphragm, like a singer?

[@bassbonebrian]

norbi sp sometimes yes, but I prefer to do it this way

Kyle Farris woah hey Kyle! How ya been man?

[@christianboletchek8410]

Great stuff! Just curious - do you do any rim buzzing or free buzzing on a regular basis? Why or why not?

[@bassbonebrian]

Christian Boletchek - I don’t do much rim buzzing these days but I’ll occasionally check intervals with free buzz. I don’t do much work on the rim because I prefer a little bit of resistance when buzzing. I used to do a lot of free buzzing, but have found that most of the benefits of it are in mouthpiece buzzing as well. With that said though, free buzzing is still a great workout for your chops.

[@christianboletchek8410]

Brian Hecht sweet. Thank you for the feedback - looking forward to future videos!

[@calebsmith8397]

Good video! How long do cut that plastic tube?

[@contrabone]

Great video, Brian, thanks for sharing. Concerning your shortened leadpipe, is it 2" total or 2" past the end of the mouthpiece? Thanks!

[@bassbonebrian]

Tyler Sellers- 2 inches total for the shortened leadpipe

[@contrabone]

Brian Hecht Awesome, thank you!

Please add korean subtilte i cant understand

[@friedhelmschutz3861]

Hi, just found that vid. One question: when coming to high range (I never touched yet) you move the mouthpiece slightly to the left. Is it about unsyymetrie of your lips, or just using other parts of embouchure?

[@bassbonebrian]

Great observation! There's no benefit or harm to doing this. For me, I think it's merely a result of individual lip and teeth structure rather than an intended technique. My aim when playing high is to keep the aperture round and the sound resonant.

[@so0soSnn]

Thank you always for the great upload! ! What is the length of a short lead pipe?

[@bassbonebrian]

Under Son about 3 inches

[@Wizard_0_0]

What kind of mouthpiece would you recommend

[@bassbonebrian]

Orion Lozano my personal favorites are Greg Black mouthpieces. He usually has a large selection at Southeast Trombone Symposium. I recommend trying several out there to see what fits you best.
