Ms. Jones is an awesome player, but her Ride of the Valkyries excerpt wasn't my favourite. I prefer Leyendecker's style: more aggressive, and not so beautiful.
Brendon Phillips I was actually just thinking the same thing and I check the comments to see if anyone thought that too haha. She is still an amazing player of course, ive just learned to play Ride differently
Hayden Lee have you ever seen the opera? Thats not entirely accurate...the Wälküren are picking up slain bodies and but also laughing and joking about what their horses are doing. It’s not as blood and guts a moment as people think it is. It is a minor event that begins the third act. It is actually, in relation to the rest of the opera, and particularly the super heavy ending, a fairly “light” moment.
The prinicipal trombonist of one of the greatest orchestras in the world... and you criticize her slide technique? I think she knows more than you do...
1. There is no "correct" position for the fingers 2. Flicking with the wrist is a bad idea the majority of slide arm movement comes from the elbow. 3. There's a reason she was in the LSO and you're not.
Just buy one(an inexpensive used one in a pawn shop is fine; bring it to a music shop and have a brass techinician check it out first) and start taking lessons from a university that recommends a good teacher and take off. Remember, it's a diffifult instrument and requires a lot of practice. Hours a day in the beginning. Keep at it and the results will be rewarding. Trombones in a choir can sound so good it's mindblowing!
Man, this video brings back memories. I was a freshman in high school when I first started taking the horn seriously, and this video was a huge part of establishing my concept of tone!
Literally same. And the top audition videos of the winners too. As I look at them now as a professional myself I'm even more impressed now than I was then knowing what I know about auditions and how tough it is to sound that good for a panel of judges whether recorded or live. Sheesh. And she did that whole thing in one shot except talk except talk.
In Great Britain a different rhythmic vocabulary is used for lengths of specific notes. A quaver is an eighth note. From longest to shortest, whole note = semibreve (breve is double whole note), half note = minum, quarter note = crotchet, eighth note = quaver, sixteenth note = semiquaver, 32nd = demisemiquaver, 64th = hemidemisemiquaver, and etc. with repeating "hemidemisemi". It's kind of confusing at first, but with a basic knowledge of Latin, you can kind of figure it out. Hope I helped!
Glad you emphasized articulating the lower semi-quavers well. My teacher in the CSO even emphasized playing them louder because, as you say, they will get covered up otherwise :)
Congratulations Katy Jones. I am Brazilian and I attend a big band in my locality. Currently I'm playing tenor trombone I'm grateful to have the opportunity to receive positive explanations, positive information that apply to the instrument. Thanks again and congratulations!
weird pulse, weird intonation. hmm... why take it out of rhythmic context when you can't play it in rhythm to begin with? this is questionable advice!!
I find it amusing how even the pros (like this lady) put their finger on the bell when in 3rd or 4th position to find the note. No trombone teacher on this earth teaches students to do that and most actually tell you not to!
@sjos1726 are you playing in the LSO? let alone co solotrombonist.. probably her intonation is based on what the orchestra plays, which might sound weird if you never played it in orchestra setting.
No it isn't, a quaver is what the Americans refer to as an '8th note'. Semi quavers are '16ths', demi-semi quavers are '32nd notes' and hemi-demi-semi quavers are '64th notes'.
@stillengage Her slide technique is fine and nothing wrong with it. You only think it's wrong because you probably learned the basics in theory from some book or band director.
Its not the stock Conn mouthpiece that comes with the trombone - looks like a Denis Wick in gold plate. Maybe a 6.5 or 7? Looks like quite a shallow mouthpiece.
@MMBG398 although the trigger is useful to have, it always sounds better not to use it. the valve always messes with the flow of the air, no matter how high quality it is
@KVRIP Absolutely! Any changes in tambre between the same note played in different partials (a function largely of the overtone series for the partial in question) can be managed by a good player, the use of the word "alternate" is a bit misleading. Maintaining a fluid line and slide movement often dictates this, and if you look at a number of videos of professional players, you'll find it to be a widespread practice.
hey oldschoolwaverider, Katy was born and brought up near lancaster, went to school and uni in manchester, but has lived in london for quite a few years via a few years in cardiff. she now lives back in the north after taking the principal bone position at the Hallé. hope this helps you
Wow. Remarkable playing. Iif she is now principal with the Halle then she is the 2nd lady to be principal of that orchestra. I'm sure there was a lady principal trombone at the Halle in the 1960's when female professional brass plaers were as rare as hens teeth
I agree with Liszt! As much as I love alto, tenor has a very rich dark bottom to the sound! Alto can become very nasally. The best sound I've heard out of an Alto would have to be Christian Lindberg. He gives it that rich bottom I can't find anywhere else. SO AWESOME! :)
It could also be for tuning....its easier to tune in the regular position. I've seen trombonists that have an F trigger, that don't use them unless needed (fast passages).
Irrelevant, she's an amazing trombonist. She was co-principal trombone of the LSO, and now the principal trombone of the Hallé orchestra... CVs like that don't lie.
when i first heard this all that came across was wow. Im a young tromboneist and i was wondering if you had any tips on how to sound as good as you do?

Cleanest articulation I ever heard

+Cole Davis I also agree, she has a beautiful sound though
Brendon Phillips I agree. Ride of the Valkyries is about goddesses of war deciding who dies. It should be gritty
Brendon Phillips If my eardrums aren't blown out you didn't play loud enough, end of story

She probably has the fastest slide arm I've ever seen. Very impressive playing
fastest slide arm in the west
@@jeffcgh lol
no.
Whose idea was it to put the cue cards on the floor?
HAHAHA ok that was good.
Excellent player. Why are so many top English women trombone players so good looking?
The prinicipal trombonist of one of the greatest orchestras in the world... and you criticize her slide technique? I think she knows more than you do...
I know this is 8 years later but Lol yeh
The clarity of her playing is equalled by the clarity of her speech.
definitely not reading from a script
Beautiful song
Excelent performance!! I loved this sound!! Congratulations Mrs. Katy!!
I think she is lovely, both as a person and as a player.
Really Wonderful. Even though I will not be auditioning, it's really great to hear this tips and listen to such a great trombonist. Thank you.
1. There is no "correct" position for the fingers
2. Flicking with the wrist is a bad idea the majority of slide arm movement comes from the elbow.
3. There's a reason she was in the LSO and you're not.
Mother of god. Great video, great melody and beautiful trombone player.
absolutely i am currently 1st chair Trombone in Middle School and this is an inspiration
Where are you now
That top E flat in the Schumann was so damn clean I put my head in my hands for a full 30secs...
Level is high indeed - Trombone Master Class LSO (player) played really great
It's the best 120% is a great video
Thank you!
Mira (SGL)
Yay! I'm not the only one who puts their finger on the bell around 3rd position! And she's a professional :D
Dear Katy
Clean and wonderful Sound.
Admire! Katy,
Thank you for the lesson. I don't know why trombone players try to be so critical.. beautiful sound, thank you for sharing.

Great video. Thank you, Katy Jones.
What a beautiful tone..I'd love to hear your interpretation of the Bolero... :)
if you just wanna hear her play:
walküre: 1:03
hungarian march: 3:40
schumann: 6:54
love the tone
brilliant, inspirational!
Her tone is sooo good. I want to hear her play a solo piece. That would be awesome.
Brilliant. I need to go and practice now.
0:48 She says Rubato, not vibrato
Man, this video brings back memories. I was a freshman in high school when I first started taking the horn seriously, and this video was a huge part of establishing my concept of tone!

@Thatrandomguy1887 it is, there is a green screen so people wont get offended
uau...great,good job.thanks for this song,beautiful songs i like this.
i''m bass trombonist from brasil.
i'm sorry for the bad inglish.
Congratulations Katy Jones.
I am Brazilian and I attend a big band in my locality.
Currently I'm playing tenor trombone I'm grateful to have the opportunity to receive positive explanations, positive information that apply to the instrument. Thanks again and congratulations!
weird pulse, weird intonation. hmm... why take it out of rhythmic context when you can't play it in rhythm to begin with? this is questionable advice!!
Helped me in my music test ty!
ótimo vídeo, para quem gosta de trombone, não perca

What a great sound. Love it I myself play trombone in a comunity band and have a great time. Best way to end a long day
@sjos1726 are you playing in the LSO? let alone co solotrombonist..
probably her intonation is based on what the orchestra plays, which might sound weird if you never played it in orchestra setting.
Dat tone!

Heard you for the first time, very enjoyable/. Thank you/. Trumpetman/.
Wonderful! I wish I had one tenth of this lady's talent
quaver = eight note
semi quaver = sixteenth note
Where in your playing are the brutal and terrifying Valkyries?
At the most it s an affectionate ride .
Photoshop-Cajon-Tutorials she only played the major part of it. Not the minor for some reason.
Does her innerslide look like it isn't aligned to anyone else. It looks like it starts in one area then sort of bends alittle and looks farther up.
The Schumann was incredible.
looks like a newer conn 88h open wrap
Its not the stock Conn mouthpiece that comes with the trombone - looks like a Denis Wick in gold plate. Maybe a 6.5 or 7? Looks like quite a shallow mouthpiece.
@MMBG398 although the trigger is useful to have, it always sounds better not to use it. the valve always messes with the flow of the air, no matter how high quality it is
@stillengage She must be doing something right to be where she is. And obviously the minor flaws in her technique aren't really hurting her.
She says "sacred" and the subtitles say "scared"!
What is a quaver? Is it like a note but in Londonish?
@KVRIP Absolutely! Any changes in tambre between the same note played in different partials (a function largely of the overtone series for the partial in question) can be managed by a good player, the use of the word "alternate" is a bit misleading.

GOOD TEACHER!!!! gracie
Could you please tell me whereabouts in The UK your accent is from, as it would really help my English students. Thank you.
I agree with Liszt! As much as I love alto, tenor has a very rich dark bottom to the sound! Alto can become very nasally. The best sound I've heard out of an Alto would have to be Christian Lindberg. He gives it that rich bottom I can't find anywhere else. SO AWESOME! :)
You are playing at around MF volume.. I'll bet it should be around FF ... :)
It could also be for tuning....its easier to tune in the regular position. I've seen trombonists that have an F trigger, that don't use them unless needed (fast passages).
Crotchet - Quarter note
Minim - Half note
Quaver - Eighth note
Semiquaver - Sixteenth note
Semibreve - Whole note
Semitone - Half step
I was so disappointed when she took wagner down the octave...I guess it's written like that, but I was excited for some screamers haha
solid !
@stillengage She's the co-principal trombone for one of the greatest orchestras in the world, she can hold the slide with her foot if she wants to.
Irrelevant, she's an amazing trombonist. She was co-principal trombone of the LSO, and now the principal trombone of the Hallé orchestra... CVs like that don't lie.
Puedes sugerirme un ejercicio para evitar la retención
You need to get out more...they've been around for decades, they're just as good as the guys...this coming from a male trombone player....
Complimenti per l'interpretazione!!!
@792201002 Now it may have some "drawbacks" but it's a clever little trick to somewhat line up with the bell.
MAGNIFIQUE et de très bons conseils
The Schumann was absolutely fabulous, well it all was but especially the Schumann. Perfect use of vibrato (in my very humble opinion).
when i first heard this all that came across was wow. Im a young tromboneist and i was wondering if you had any tips on how to sound as good as you do?
Katy, do you also have a soprano trombone in your collection?
what is a quaver? Is that a British term for a division beat such as a eighth or sixteenth note? tuple?
👏!
her trombone makes such a brilliant sound! my ex-music teacher used to play with the LSO :) she's now here, all the way in Australia. lol
The person who writes these subtitles needs to learn a bit about music vibrato does not = rubato.
alternate positions will defiantly save the work of move the slide like that, ill be exhausted lol
It is one of the best trombone players I have heard I am a trombone player my self I can't wait till I sound this good
she is a really amazing trombone player.. but why dosnt she use her trigger? she has one!
Wow Katy, such a increadible tone! Hope to see more of you on youtube for both listening and learning. Thanks and God bless!
imslp.org
search for richard wagner.
Good playing! I need to get myself a big bore with a trigger. I ONLY HAVE A SMALL BORE TROMBONE! D=
her schumann excerpt is delicious. this kind of playing makes me want to go and do some practice.
MEU DEUS, QUE SOM ! MUITO LINDO... PARABÉNS !
Is that a Denis Wick mouthpiece,.?
Thanks for posting this, was wondering what she ment when she said that. Language barrior..
hhhahahahahaahah press all of the numbers on your keyboard, they are all good.
Compared to her my section sucks
question here. Why does she go to sixth position when she has a f trigger?
now dose this music that yu metion use the trigger at all
I am just wondering do you have the hungarian march music sheet
Is this a bass trombone? Cuz that bell is huge.
Elan Brysk No, it is a tenor, followed by an alto.
A very nice and well prepared presentation. Great to hear these things played so well too!
Good advice here!
Somewhere in the South... maybe like, Cambridge or something?
