  • If you’ve ever wondered how things look when you play the extreme ranges of the trombone this is the video for you. In this first part I’ll quickly show you what my embouchure looks like when I go between a Bedal Bb and a Double Bb. The most important thing to take away is what the air sounds like between those two notes.

    ive been playing for about 7 years, and my range has expanded to pedal F to a double F (only on really good days lol)
    do you have any tips/exercises for learning how to make these notes come out and sound good?

      I wouldn’t say I did any specific exercises, just keep working on it. I have a longer video on my channel about it as well. You can read music up an octave or practice some lead trombone parts and higher ballads. Don’t overdo it. Be aware of when you need to take a break.

      I think doing long tones for warmup and in general of course as high and as low as you can go is to going to develop your range a lot

    • @LowBrassLuke

      Sometimes a larger diameter rim can make things easier. There are players with lots of different lip sizes that play instruments from tuba with huge mouthpieces to trumpet with tiny mouthpiece. Once you find what works for you you’ll be set.

    C'mon, that is just not possible for "normal" people to do like you show there. Your whole mouth looks different and is it possible there is something different about your teeth?

    • @LowBrassLuke
      @LowBrassLuke  10 місяців тому

      My teeth are more apart on the Pedal note and a little closer together on the Double Bb. My tongue is also positioned like I’m saying Eeeee on the Double Bb. Yes it does take practice but it is possible. I’m focusing on speeding up and slowing down the air to change registers.
