When Hibike! Euphonium came out it motivated me to become a great euphonium player.
Michelle Warren yeah it really motivated me to become a better trombone player
You and everyone else. "This is great, somebody should make an anime of that...". It's about as bad America's obsession for putting food in spray cans.

Your videos are amazing! Been playing tuba for 12 years and consider myself pretty good at it, but I just started teaching myself euphonium and you are helping me develop my higher register quite quickly!
This isn't music, it's science! Very helpful tutorials, I never had a brass teacher who went into this level of detail.
Hey, Matoniz what an incredible explanation, I played Euphonium for years and always had the lower lip problem, I did know that what a pearl, thank you. What an amazing channel you have! well done, great musicality, technique, and awesome teaching! I am glad I discovered you.
Always look forward to your videos you are doing a great job.
Thanks buddy! Appreciate it!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. You help me so much, I can sound smooth and soft now and I was lining up my mouth on the mouthpiece wrong! Cheers man
Superb!!! 10 BIG THUMBS UP!!!!
Thank you!
Great tone! I'm a fan of good tone :)
Thank you Zvika
wow. it looks so easy to hit those high notes! I need to practice better!
Quality practice is always the key my friend! Thanks for watching and best of luck with your playing!
Very helpful!
First of all, congratulations on your videos!
Now, do you think all those tips you've been giving, would apply to tuba players too?
I have a huuuge difficulty on playing on high register...
Hey buddy, thanks for nice words! It absolutely applies to any brass instrument. I've not been doing all that many videos specific for euphonium recently, most of what I talk about fits every instrument so I could help out more peeps and this video would absolutely work for tuba my friend! Give it a go and let me know whether it helped!
I know that you made a video on the upper register, but can you make a video that goes a little more in depth into making the upper register easier?
A bit off the subject but important to me. When going from piano to forte and back to piano.on the same note,how do you go back to piano with out losing the note?
Please make a video to show us how to clean the euphonium
Thanks for a great suggestion Mario!
Use a brush to clean the tuning slides and leadpipe than submerge it in hot soapy water
Take valves out and line them up on a towel then take out all of the slides and do the same. Then take everything and submerge in bathtub full of warm soapy water for about 30min then wipe everything down with a soft but clingy rag (I recommend microfiber rags) then let it air dry. Afterwards assemble everything and oil and grease you slides and valves then use a polish like brasso
This video was the missing link. Woot! I'm on a roll now. Great work
I know this is unrelated to this specific video but are there any euphs that you would recommend NOT to buy ?
Oof. . Check the used market and test play that instrument. I know of some chinesium that was surprisingly good (for what it cost anyway), but i have yet to find a consistently bad brand. List price and brand are secondary concern for me when looking for an instrument. I find one used (they keep their used value very well), test it and if it plays nice with me i roll with it. If you are a beginner (which i dont know), get a used one anyway.
seven yeah I mostly agree with you. But I’d try to avoid the newer king ones because they’re really just not built to last. But for brands that make good Euphoniums? I’d say for small shanks Yamaha and for large shanks Jupiter
Cheap indian instruments mendini and cecilio are terrible jinbao might be fine if you dont give a fuck but i use a gear4music 4 valve euph and it works surprisingly well
Also BTW do you got any tips on how to play a Concert F 2 octave and chromatic scale?
شكرأ لك
Matonizz,
Great dem!
Btw, I first learned that exercise from the same source as you. Later I found it in som Arnold Jacobs material.
Did Pat or Sam (probably Sam) get it from Jacobs?
Hey Ole! I think most of the exercises used in Brass Gym are taken from other books. I might be wrong but I don't believe they claim exercises as their own, they just show the way to practice them in order to benefit the most. I might be wrong though :) However, Jacobs would sound about right. Good question, thanks for watching buddy!
I think you are right. They picked exercises, etc. Pilafian talk a bit about in TubaPeopleTV if I remeber right.
I found the exercise now - "Special Studies for the Tuba" by Arnold Jacobs: 5. Tone Building - exercise e)
Keep up your excellent video-work here - love it!
Thanks brother! You take care!
@@ojtrumpet Arnold Jacobs was their teacher, and if I remember correctly, "Beautiful Sounds" was a daily warmup with Jake.
On euphonium I have to put some power through the horn for high Bb to sound good. On trumpet I can do C octaves at a pianissimo perfect. But I don’t practice euphonium that much but I did get first in 3a in my region
Do you have any thoughts on the Plastic Euphoniums/Tubas. I'm talking for someone like myself who currently has a 4/4 brass tuba but as I get older I find it more difficult to carry and hold. I play in a community band so I'm not a professional by any means but do enjoy making music, and hope to continue for as long as I can.
Plastic euphonium could be an option or check some Adams E1 euphs. They are extremely light! If that is too expensive than plastic euph could be second choice. However, even though they can be ok for practice it might be hard to get much of a sound in a band environment unfortunately.
What vowel do you use on low ranges to sound dark?
I use Uuuu buddy!
Or can you make a video on tounge arch and placement for high range?
A video on tonguing is definitely coming out soon since there has been many requests, regarding the upper register, I will make more stuff in detail in near future as well, just have to cover couple other topics first. Thanks for watching and supporting my friend!
Thank you so much! These videos really do make a differnece in practice ethic and techniques.
DCI Follower As far as I know it becomes more necessary when you get super high, but should be avoided if possible. I noticed a negative effect on my playing when I played a piece that had a high range. I instinctively tensed up and arched my tongue. As a result, the air was pressurized and began to spread before reaching my lips. In the end, my tone became disgustingly airy and thin. I've been fixing this by making sure to have as little tension in my throat as possible.
I have a terrible habit of sinking my bottom lip under my top lip, and trying to fix it feels really uncomfortable. Is this normal?
Likely a cognitive dissonance. The brain wants to keep the status quo, i.e. what works feels comfortable and something that doesn't feel or sound comfortable is "wrong" according to the brain. Stay the course, and you will slowly see that you are more successful over time. Habits are not easy to break but if you are consistent and stubborn about making the change you will see progress.
Why are certain parts of your euph black?
Mainly cause I thought it was cool :D I am an artist with the company so I had an option of doing some funky stuff with the design, apart from that, no other reason ;)
Matonizz that's cool, it looks good
Thanks man!
@@Matonizz i have a silver trumpet with a mouthpiece that i am almost convinced that it isnt brass colored. It looks gold lmao.
Is this technic useful on trumpet？
Absolutely!
3:32 practice*
I want to see him play a valve trombone!
I’m a French horn but I can play lower than all of our euphoniums, trombones and bass trombones in my band. I can play as low as one of the tubas
What is "QUITE" dynamics?
Meant quiet, just a misspell!
So I'm currently learning Pantomime and the very last note is a high F. I'm playing on a Wilson 2900 that is from school. It's very difficult hitting it. Could it be that the instrument wasn't made to hit it or is it a personal issue?
Hey man! Both is the answer! I've just got back from Tuba/Euph expo in Washington D.C. and had a chance to test Wilson decent amount. I will make a review video on the brand in the upcoming days but one thing I can tell you is that they are very stuffy. That being said, you can definitely hit high notes if you're high range skills are really good, it's just not the easiest instrument to do it, especially as a last note. Btw, coincidence but I'm performing Pantomime in couple of days, will put a video on if I have a chance to film it. Best of luck with your high F practice and let me know if you got more questions!
Thanks. Good video~ very important information. ^^
0:05 oh no
Since last year,i practice this high range, 5 years still same T_T
If you play high notes soft, you can build range
I do the complete opposite. I can play high notes soft but I struggle playing high notes loud.
It has to be slow and SOFT.. ppp
THESE PEOPLE SPELLED PRACTICE WRONG
But good video it really helped
The 3 steps to playing really well: Pratice, Prastis, parstice
Spelt*
That's okay. They spelled quiet wrong twice.
Please change the background music
JoJoTheMoBro WithAfro agree sound should be euphonium solo.
THank U ! but the music is horrible !!
Irritating background noise; could not get past it.
Awful “dance” “music” ruins these videos. Please stop that
I don't like your breathing technique.
Why not Asuka?
