Thank you very much first off I'm going to strive to be as good as you but I also needed to know a good way to improve my range for a piece I'm teaching myself for fun that gets up to an above staff g I'm getting close but don't want to hurt my embouchure by trying to force it this will help thank you again
Allowing the tongue to rise as you ascend is associated with the changes in the lip aperture to change pitch it is not In some way related to air speed because air speed through the aperture is not positively influenced by the tongue . And when whistling you are changing the resonance of the oral space this is of no consequence when playing the instrument .
Me: retired Field Artillery officer (trumpeter, btw) sees Army uniform, and "Trombone Range" feels need to make lame joke. So, what IS the Max Effective Range, and what sort of training range do trombones use, and OBTW, what sort of ammo does that thing take? Some sort of highly specialized RPG 🤪
If you hear a teacher say its "airspeed". THAT is brass bro-science. Airspeed has NOTHING to do with pitch. The embouchure posture controls the pitch. Not some mythical "airspeed" concept. It's just something brass players hear and repeat.
@@samuelrobertson594 the clear mouthpiece videos provide proof. The pitch changes with lip firmness. Conversely, show me One study where air flow velocity ANYWHERE Is measured and correlates to pitch played.
@@BrassBro-Science-ys7sg several studies suggested that it was a correlation between aperture, air volume, and airspeed. Only one mentioned lip firmness. I only originally replied to your comment because I am a trombone major, and recently I have been focusing a lot on embouchure and range. I used to think that lip firmness was the answer, so I did exercises to strengthen my lips, but it was not until I implemented information similar to that shown in this video that I saw progress. I have gained a 5th in my high range and nearly an octave over all. Besides that, my tone quality has improved. Wheter or not airspeed is actually the answer, thinking about it this way has been successful for me.
I think you are referring to air flow not air "volume". These are not the same. Air pressure is also often confused as "air speed". I am not suggesting that one use excessive embouchure effort or firmness and many use excessive effort across the full range. Much of the "air mechanics" of air-speed by tongue movement is just repeated popular verbiage. It just is not literally true. It doesn't matter what movements one does with the tongue and these can be helpful for moderating the embouchure effort. But If the lips don't change the pitch doesn't change. Raising the tongue does not increase the air flow velocity through the lip aperture.
He made great sounds in one position! Wow. As a beginning, I'm starting to see more and more of what can be done with the trombone. It's endless.
Lost a lot of my chops over COVID, relearning now. These videos are helping me redevelop the basics - thanks!
I know I never will but I'll strive to match the tone quality of yours. Amazing
“Loud, high and fast” yep. That describes it.
Pedals too
If he fires a weapon as good as he plays the trombone, God help his enemies.
I think that he plays/fires only the trombone in the army, that's why he is so good !!
. Facts
I think being good at an instrument tends to make you good at many things
Was in the trombone studio at Baylor University with Austin. Outstanding player.
Thanks! Very helpful 🇺🇸
Excellent video. Thank you.
Helpful as I tackle the De Meij concerto. Thank you.
Thank you so much

Very cool
one problem i have is that even if i can play say a high F comfortably i cant hit the next partial up, so i cant even practice it
What slide position is high Gb?
Flat 3. Also 5. All 6th partials are flat and need to be taken in about half a position.
What brand trombone is that?
Looks like a Getzen.
What about trumpets???
do the same thing starting with all 3 valves down and then go up the valve progression

One thumb down. Kind of indicates that clarinet players look at these videos too I guess. This young man can play. Neat video. Go Air Force.

True
Do you have proof for this? I'm genuinely curious.

Bro who disliked this video he needs to go to jai l
now you can’t see the dislikes
