What tips do you have for being able to so flawlessly slur up to the A and the G and keep in touch with the legato tonguing. I can play relatively high notes when supported with air but when i try playing any rochut passage that has a relative jump my legato breaks up
Toby I really really love your videos and I have leant so many things by these videos. Thank you very much and please make more video like this!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This etude in particular is strong in my memory. I used to play this with my trombone instructor, Tom Ervin, at the University of Arizona in Tucson. This was in the mid-1970s. Toby Oft reminds me a little of him, even looking similar physically.
Beautiful work! A couple of notes: - I use Kelly mouthpieces for my practice rims. They are less expensive and easy to make. I also have a brass allergy and avoid silver plated mouthpieces. - I have modified a Kelly mouthpiece by drilling a 3/8 inch hole through the bottom of the cup angled away from my face. This allows me to get a rim buzz while moving the slide and when I want to go back to playing the horn normally I just cover the hole with my finger. - One quibble/question. I heard you play an A natural in measure 47. My edition has this note written as A flat. This could just be my ears. Did you play A natural? Both natural and flat notes work in this measure. Thank you for these videos!
You can buy them from a lot of mouthpiece manufacturers - here's a link to one: www.griegomouthpieces.com/products/tenor_rims.php Alternatively, you can just buy a duplicate of what you currently use and just cut the rim off with a hack saw, holding the mouthpiece steady with a vice.
Yuvraj Atre - glad to help. In general, whenever you’re having trouble with rhythm, it can be really helpful to slow down and subdivide. If you were counting quarter notes, slow it down and count eighth notes, if it still doesn’t work, slow it down further and count sixteenths - Everything’s relative ☺️
So I'm standing on a step stool doing the trim between the wall and the ceiling (of the new exercise room that was the kids' room when they were little) and you're buzzing the intro to illustrate fixing sound issues and of course I have to grab my (new) rim out of my pocket to try to match buzzes, and I suddenly think, "69 year old guy standing on a stool, roller in hand, blowing, NO! BUZZING into a little metal rim. Must have inhaled paint thinner..." Think it's easy getting old? It's not...

Please tell me you are recording all rochut and an album will be produced from this afterwards.
This is one of my middle schools all region etudes and I'm glad I have your performance as a reference.

This is the orchestra pro series of our time in my opinion.

If you’re a trumpet player this is in the Wurm book

Vincent Laine i heard A flat... but I might be wrong. Sounded great tho
Where can I get a rim to buzz through? Is that something that detaches from your mouthpiece?

Beautiful. NOT bor-DOH-nee but bor-dohn-yee. The "gn" same as lasagna = la-san-ya.
Wow this really helped as a reference
Love these videos.
Very nice. I will be giving this to my student for reference!
Very beautifully played Toby!
What trombone is that?
Looks like either a shire or a bach strad
victor gonzalez It is an Edwards T350-HB with an off bell. Toby uses a Griego-Oft mouthpiece
