  • Concert Suite from “The Polar Express”
    by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard
    Arranged by Jerry Brubaker
    I was super stoked my band director let us play this; when we wrote piece recommendations, I wrote "The Polar Express" really big with "PLEASE" everywhere, haha.
    Kind of late, but Happy New Year, and I hope you all have a great 2024,
    Rohanna🍓

    She played good but the conductor isn’t helping at all. Why pick something so hard to play instead of finding something they can play the work on it and shape it? I’ve played this it’s not easy at all. Why do so many band directors just toss something that hard up in the air.

    • @_.romaamor._
      @_.romaamor._  5 місяців тому +4

      I believe it was a good thing my band director had us play this piece. In fact, I was the one who recommended it. Although this piece was challenging, improving and seeing what we could accomplish was a great experience. I assume band directors have their students play difficult music because they know their students can do it.

      Yes, I can play this, and have played it multiple times in my old band.
      Her timbre is very airy and has no focus. It's lacking a lot of lower harmonics.
      She is also not good at controlling her embouchure, which leads to less control of pitch (in this video, she's usually flat).
      She also doesn't have good hand position. Her wrist is twisting, her fingers are not coordinated (moving at the same time), and their placement is off.
      I can keep going..

      The only thing she can do is work on her tone.. Her embouchure has no control. You need to be self-aware and take long timbre sessions where you work on it.
