This is great, got a much better sound after like 20 minutes of applying these lifehacks, having previously spent two months practising daily to pretty much no avail
OMG!!! LIFE CHANGING!!!! I've been playing since I was 12. Taught by a foster parent but never taught this. My tone has been inconsistent, this fixes that and the rough starts after taking a breath! Thank you!
Amazing info! Most important, rolling lips inward. No one else has pointed that out. My playing more clarified, sounds great. No wobbly, inconsentant, airy weird. 😊
holy shoot, ive been the best trombonist in my band for a long time and i cant believe ive been making a beginner mistake like this! Thanks for helping, definitley deserves a sub!
Okay this is really weird! I've been playing trombone for 4 years and always with outward lips, no-one has EVER told me to do the other way. I tried it and my playing improved dramatically within an hour of practice! YOU ARE AMAZING, THANKYOU!
That was exactly what I was taught that very thing in Jr. High band class. We spent a who period blowing into a m😂outhpiece, then the next musiìc classty brought the bress.. I did frenchhorn. A couple of years but we moved and that school didn't have music . That was a bummer because I got good grades in that class because I've liked it and I was good at it. Forgot all of it, don't remember 1 thing about how to read and understand what I'm looking at . Should have respected it like you did. Good job ,keep teaching little stuff like this. I just got that memory when you explained the sound in the mounth peich. See, I told you, queen of brass all day every > all day, but I lenjoy your little funny'sç
It can help with teeth spacing to clack your teeth together before you play since it's easier to go from closed to a good open position, than it is to go from a bad really open position to a more closed one
I just joined band near Christmas time I joined quite late but I want to make a fast growth in my playing rn I’m stuck on learning the notes and making my notes go higher tysm for the tips please let me know if you have anymore
I just started trombone like 3 weeks ago and I just realized I’ve been doing it wrong 😭 I’ve been rolling out and wondering why it doesn’t sound right ?!?!
when you say roll your lips in do you mean like completly or just dont play wiht your lips out cause usually i can play up to Db 5 lines above the staff but when i roll in i can barely play Bb right above the staff
Oooooh let’s see…if you make a kissing face/duck face and buzz, the sound is kind of wet and gross, because the buzz is using the inside/wet part of the lips. If you do the opposite of that, and bring the lips back toward your mouth and use the outside part of the lip (the part you can see!) to make a buzz, the sound should be a lot dryer. This is really hard to explain via text haha, but hopefully that helps! I do free 15m consultations on Lessonface if you ever want more help 👍
Can you please help me a little bit more I tried rolling my lips and air just started come out the sides, and then when I tried firmer sides, more air started coming out
Could you help me? I used your steps but then right when im about to play, I must have gotten into a bad habit of smiling instead of frowning when playing my instrument and I dont know how to fix it.
Rolling my lips inward really helped my tone so much in just an hour! Thanks for the tip
glad to hear it!
the last tip helped me since my sound went from farting noises to actual trombone noises
I was blowing our this whole time and I just blew in word and oh my goodness it made all the freaking difference thank you so much
Wait u don’t blow?
It helped sooo much! thanks for the tip! I haven't even started to play in band, and I am suprisingly good!
This is great, got a much better sound after like 20 minutes of applying these lifehacks, having previously spent two months practising daily to pretty much no avail
Rolling with my lips in helped lots and I havnt been taught that before thank u so much!
OMG!!! LIFE CHANGING!!!! I've been playing since I was 12. Taught by a foster parent but never taught this. My tone has been inconsistent, this fixes that and the rough starts after taking a breath! Thank you!
I was so frustrated because I didn’t understand why I couldn’t hit any notes consistently. The last tip makes so much sense
Glad it was of some use to you! I hope it helps!

It worked the first time I tried it
Great video, thanks!
This is so helpful
THANK YOU!!!
Thanks
My teeth are getting involved and i feel like my teeths shouldnt be getting involved but its the only way i dont just make breathy fart sounds
I think you need to start all your videos with "What up, trombone nation!" LOL!
Thank you!! I’m going into concert band this year and I actually have open house today, thank you for the refresher!! 🤍✨

I’ve been rolling out and wondering why it doesn’t sound right ?!?!
love those firm corners
I'm confused because some great trombone players look like they have their mount outward instead of inward
when you say roll your lips in do you mean like completly or just dont play wiht your lips out cause usually i can play up to Db 5 lines above the staff but when i roll in i can barely play Bb right above the staff
How exactly do you roll your lips inward? im like really comfused. but thank you 😊

If you do the opposite of that, and bring the lips back toward your mouth and use the outside part of the lip (the part you can see!) to make a buzz, the sound should be a lot dryer.

Im confused what is meant by rolling out and inward?
When you go to kiss something, you’re rolling the lips out-you want to go the other way!
I can’t play with my lips inwards I don’t get it
my lips also go out on low notes i don’t know if it’s a reflex or a bad habit
I think it’s natural for lower notes-and it also depends on the person!

Can you please help me a little bit more I tried rolling my lips and air just started come out the sides, and then when I tried firmer sides, more air started coming out
Hey-I do free 15-minute lessons on Lessonface if you’d like a diagnosis sometime!
I've been doing this wrong a very long time. I have to untrain some bad habits.
How do I get the air to stop escaping the sides of my mouth?
Like she says, tighten the corners of your mouth and keep your air centered in your mouthpiece
Here’s a bit of a better name the tromboners also thank you for the tips
Could you help me? I used your steps but then right when im about to play, I must have gotten into a bad habit of smiling instead of frowning when playing my instrument and I dont know how to fix it.
I teach lessons over on Lessonface-feel free to sign up for a trial and we can talk it through!
omg i never knew the inward mouth thing. I’ve always played with an outward mouth, and now i’m so confused and can’t do it inward. Help?
I mean if you sound good the way you do there's no need to change! Different strategies work for different faces so I wouldn't worry too much :)
