- I get asked all the time, "What is your favorite trombone piece to play"? The answer is easy for me, It's A Song for Japan by Steven Verhelst! The melody is just so beautiful and it is full of deep meaning. Check out the end of the video to hear my story behind it and why I chose to record this song.
I also love that A Song for Japan comes in so many different versions and has all the sheet music available online. You can visit trombones.jp/ to download the sheet music!
Speaking of all the different versions of A Song for Japan, here is the trombone octet version I recorded with the cast of Blast The Music of Disney in 2017. • A SONG FOR JAPAN - TRO...
8 trombones are better than 1! This is actually only the 4th video I uploaded to my channel!
I played the new C.G. Conn 88HNV in this video. You can check out more about the horn here (and also hear A Song for Japan in the background)!

Ok this is mine, what is your favorite trombone piece?!
Hi Lisa. Mine too actually. Thank you for your amazing videos. You are an inspiration (not only for me)
Best wishes from germany 🤗
@@thedoctor4087 aww, that’s nice to hear that it’s also your favorite! ☺️ I am curious, have you heard Song for Health? Also by Steven Verhelst. Also, thank you for your nice comment!
@@LisaLizTrombone I first got in touch with it through your video.😉
I always thought of the trombone as a wild crazy jazz instrument. This is another beautiful side like imagining angels floating down with royal grapes or cupids bouncing on fluffy clouds. So cool!
As a trombonist, I definitely feel we are the most slept on and underappreciated instruments in the band. :)
Jon, I totally know what you mean! For sure the trombone CAN be a wild and crazy jazz instrument, but it can also have a softer side 😉I love your imagery, that made me smile. I will think of those images the next time I play this haha!
@@timothydrummond3097 RIGHT?! We are the underdogs! But the trombone is so cool and can can do so many things! It can also be a great solo instrument. I am trying to spread the word!
@@LisaLizTrombone let me know when you remake the song and are thinking of angels and cupids while laughing and playing at the same time. You must must have a heck of an embouchure to laugh and play simultaneously ;)
@@jonu1487 I have laughed while I was playing before and it didn’t sound so good! It sounded funny though, that’s for sure! Like and elephant sneezing 😂
I love the trombone solo Colors by Bert Apermonte
すごいですね！
As a Japan-o-phile and trombone-o-phile...gotta love this.
Couple of years ago I was living for a while in #kyoto - guess what kind of music is playing in Almost Every Shop? (really!). Supermarkets, antique shopsm, coffee shops (natch), book shops etc. Cool Jazz. Blues. Pentatonic scale stuff. Coltrane, Chet Baker, Stan Getz, Bruebeck, Miles Davis etc.
And now... guess what scale the traditional Bamboo Shakuhachi plays on? Yup... you guessed right. The minor pentatonic. (which I also play). Check out John Kaizan (Bamboo).
My fave piece is Sentimental Over You. What else!!?
If you find a moment... I have a question/favour/request... What slide positions are used to make the "turn" in Bar 3 ? in this YT video - "Minor Blues - J.J. Johnson Transcription"
ありがとうございます
And here is a cool dude I met when cycling along the bank of the Kamogawa (River) in Kyoto - practicing away on a sunny autumn's day.

I hadn't played for years.... "Can I play a song?" I asked.
"Sure" - he replied. And so I played Sentimental Over You.
Big Smiles!
#kyoto has to be on ANYBODY's bucket list. You have the orange "Tori gates" of Fushimi Inari in the background of this video. And the bamboo forest at Arashiyama, too. Both in Kyoto. You start with Big Buddha in Kamakura.
Wow, such a lovely song as a trombone solo! I like the way you did the video transitioning from moonlight to daylight with flowers! I used to like a trombone solo arrangement of Air on the G String but now that I heard this, it’s so much better!
Thank you very much from Japan 😊
Beautiful piece! The new Conn 88 is a great solo trombone. I like the light sound in all registers.
Yeah, I love this one as you know! I like the sound of the new Conn too. It’s like the same horn… but also different haha 😂
Lots of updates, but that same classic Conn sound and feel.
Very nice! 🙌
Greetings from Brazil.
A beautiful piece, perfect for trombone, nicely done! Would love to hear you do a harmonized arrangement / multi track. (easy for me to say, while I sit here in my recliner chair with no harmonized multi tracks posted on my 'channel' :/ )
So beautiful sound on high note. I hope I can do this someday. Amazing 🤩
Thank you very much. That comes from years of practice of course. You'll be able to do it one day with a good teacher and consistent practice 😊
If you are interested in working on your high register, I have some high register practice videos in my Trombone Lessons playlist! ua-cam.com/video/j68X9-dR3OU/v-deo.html
Absolutely beautiful, what a great video.
Thanks so much Kyle! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Very beautiful song 😭
Thanks Lisa for this video. Many times I watch the news when listening to trombone videos but I had to watch your video this time. We played this piece several years ago in our trombone choir and I was unimpressed but this video changes my mind to the positive including the background at the end. Love the solo version.
Wow, what a nice comment to read, I am glad I could change your mind about this piece! 😊 I am curious, what made you unimpressed when you played it in trombone choir? I love playing this piece with a bunch of trombones! I also like the solo version too.... and the duet and quartet haha.
@@LisaLizTrombone I am guessing I could not hear the melody well, The melody was not interpreted well, do we really want to talk about feelings?
Looking forward to your next post!
Very moving. Wonderful performance.
Thank you very much Jim, I am glad you liked it. This piece means a lot to me. I am curious, have you ever played A Song for Japan before?
Beautiful playin', Lisa.
Thank you very much, Dave. It's easy to play when you have such a beautifully composed melody and a piece of music that is full of deep meaning!
Greate video. Shortly I discovered my old trombone in the house of my parents and after some investments in slide cream and oil it was usable again.
But it doesn't sound like your trombone. Hmm, I am still investigating where the difference comes from. Maybe it is the slide cream, the mouthpiece, or is it the person who is playing.
Currently, I suspect the player. I will start practice more. I hope the neighbors will not be disturbed too much.
Don’t have one I like them all! Beautiful job Lisa
Good answer haha! Thanks so much, it means a lot that you liked it!
Well executed!👏🏽One of my favourite pieces are Sonata Vox Gabrieli by Sulek.
Thank you very much! I always love playing this piece ❤️ That one is a classic for sure, I remember it from college.
Great.
Wooo thanks! 😉
Hello Lisa, I love A Song for Japan,
Hello Lisa, Really enjoying your videos, thanks for them. You make your high range half step videos look completely tension free. They are very encouraging for this well seasoned weekend warrior. It appears that your embouchure is a bit off center, with your right side being almost completely in the rim. Is this just by trial and error or was it taught that way? Again thanks for all the video tips
Hi J R, I am glad you are enjoying the videos, that's why I make them 😊
Yes, my embouchure is off center. Believe it or not, when I put the horn up to my face, that feels like it's in the center for me! When I look in the mirror and actually place this in the center, it feels very strange and uncomfortable. I taught myself how to play the trombone, so I have used this embouchure from the very beginning, it is just what's most comfortable for me. Also, I think it has something to do with not being able to reach 7th position very well. My embouchure has moved father to the right so I can reach out that far - just an observation.
@@LisaLizTrombone Thanks! Your effortless playing in the high ranges is impressive. I always have issues when I go up past G over the staff, ugh!
Do you think this weapon can easily play the darkest sound color？？ I wanna find the darkest sound trombone, And a lot of people say conn suit
Great sound dear. Wish I can get your trombone 😇
Thank you! If you want to learn more about the Conn 88HNV you can check out this link! www.conn-selmer.com/en-us/instruments/band-instruments/trombones/88hnv
Nice
Thank you very much! I liked your latest video too 😉
