Mr. Marchetti, you make, by a large margin, the highest quality and most helpful trombone videos on all of UA-cam. I tell everyone that plays trombone about these videos any chance I get; as I think they could be as valuable a resource to the modern trombonist as tromboneexcerpts.org or imslp or Spotify. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot for your feedback, I really appreciate it! At the moment I am taking a break from posting videos, mostly because of some family projects, but I would like to know what could be the "hottest" topics I should talk about in the future: any suggestions?
@@GabrieleMarchetti I think you've already done a fantastic job covering trombone playing fundamentals. What I think is missing, on UA-cam as a whole, is comprehensive discussion of trombone solo repertoire. I would love to see a video where you demonstrate and share your thoughts on, for instance, the Grøndahl Trombone Concerto. I know that is quite an intensive undertaking, but I think high school and college students would have a lot to gain from something like that.
Thank you very much! Let me know if you have any suggestions for a future video: I don't know exactly what could be mostly interesting :-) Please put a "like" on all my videos and share with people who might be interested!
Amazing! This is similar to Pasquale Bona's "Rhythmical Articulation" method repurposed for trombone! I've been enjoying your videos, thank you for sharing this precious information! Also, your sound 🙌
Glad to hear that you enjoyed my videos, thank you very much! About the Pasquale Bona, of course you can use whatever exercise that could serve your purpose :-)
Well, for this question I think I have already given enough suggestions and answers in my videos about staccato, slide technique, low register, high register and articulation. The very first step is to have clearly in mind which kind of attack you want: you might be surprised how many people have no idea about it! In this video I mostly show a way to shift from imagining or hearing to seeing what kind of attacks you produce, in order to get more awareness and encourage self experimenting!
Im having a lot of trouble making my attacks clear. I think its due to my articulation. When I tongue my tongue hits under my upper teeth and hits my upper lip a little bit. I’ve heard this is wrong and it should hit the back of the upper teeth. How do I fix this?
Thanks for your comment and sorry for the late reply... Unfortunately it's not possible to give you effective suggestions without a live-playing session! But I would anyway suggest you to switch from T to a quick L as a reference for the staccato pronunciation: this could help you find a better placement for your tongue and get a better tone. The clarity of the staccato isn't just a matter of articulations but mostly of coordinations: you could have a look at my videos about staccato and slide technique to get other ideas!

I'm glad you're still doing this series, it has been a lot of help.

After watching this video, I went out to get a sweet-ass red shirt rather than doing articulation practice.
...that wasn't exactly my goal! But if you're happy with your new shirt, put likes under my videos ;-)
@@GabrieleMarchetti That's pretty darn funny!
