2020-2021 TMEA All State Tenor Trombone Etude #1 - Eb Major Marcia by Belcke 

Another year of this god making etudes look easy

Guys don’t believe this mans playing..he’s using creative mode

I remember this etude for TMEA back in the 80s. I'm glad to see they've kept these pieces. All of them are challenging, but so much fun to play!

The 16th notes are super clean! Bravo!

Bro this dude gets exponentially better every year I swear. Great work

I never knew a trombone can sound so pretty and fancy and powerful and all that good stuff at the same time.... :’0

Man it just hit me im old, i played this when i was in hs, and now its back into the rotation🤣

The captions on while he’s playing is literally how I feel!😂💀”hUh” “bye”

He has such iconic sounding voice.

Those high G's are beautiful

I don’t play trombone, but I like this

4:25 Hey, I understand that reference! (2015 was a horrible year for me)

Made it into all-state this year!😁 thanks so much for the helpful videos!!!!

wonderful!! classic rep every trombonist should learn :) Have fun learning kiddos and remember not to stress, practice everyday, and most importantly enjoy making music. GOOD LUCK!

Very clear sound, amazing job!

trombone team for life!

so clean ! amazing

amazing performance and beautiful voice!

Invaluable video for arrangers who want to learn how to write for the instrument. Well done, and much thanks!

I want to thank you for playing this so much, I’m trying out for area next week! This video was so helpful.

Absolute beast.

Time to practice 96 hours a day!!!

Damn! He makes it look so easy!!!

Great video!!! Inspires me to keep practicing trombone.

jesus his tone!!!!🤩

This piece is harder than normal tbh

Awesome player you are

I remember this being one of the etudes for the 2014-2015 school year!

They had this as one of the etudes when I was in HS, I was Horrible at it, I tried so hard, even with having lessons, the only reason I didn’t get last place was because someone just left and quit band altogether so they were technically last but yeah… I was Almost gonna quit band altogether but the director was like “Hey Brad, you should switch to a different instrument like Tuba you’d be good at it, the Trombone section is too stacked and you’ll NEVER move up otherwise” I was hesitant at first but I switched and they moved me up to the top ensemble the next semester after less than a month of playing the new instrument, I barely didn’t make region the next year and I did somehow make it when I was a Senior. Sometimes I think I should’ve just quit and done sports, I might be close to being in the NFL right now if I actually tried to put in effort back then lol, but I was too lazy back then to know what I know now and I got to deal with my inaction. Besides that I think music is a super important thing that everyone should do, put in the Effort, don’t be like I was. I’m glad this reminded me of how different I was back then, I’m the best I’ve ever been now and I’m only on the up and up from here!

Blooper scenes?!?! Best music video ever.

Who isn't here because they play the trombone, but because it was on their recommended and they like trombones?

them some chops, what a player

Que maravilha!

I love your playing. Not a trombonist but your performance was wonderful!

Wow, john is looking more like Sean Schemmel every day. His voice sounds like him too. Sean's a friend of mine, and it's uncanny. Not a bad thing, it's just freaky

I'm a Flute player and I started to watch these types of videos, such as sax lessons, trombone, and more. One of the noises I heard here sounded like a fart-

Thanks dude.

good luck to all us bones doing this piece this year!

That's talent!

You have this so clean meanwhile my G is a struggle to get out

0:41 slow it down all the way and hear it

He’s really good...

Dang. I got my cuts switched when I joined full region rather than freshman region. The end of the song is killing me. I had 4 days to do it. The region submission is due tonight. Wish me luck 😆

This video reminds me why I gave up studying the trombone in uni and picked up the ukulele later in life, transferring all the bebop licks to a clearly more superior instrument.

Beautiful intonation, you make it look so easy! What horn are you playing this on?

this is also one of the euphonium etudes for OkMEA this year 🤠

Yo you Josh brother I can tell crazy thanks tho

I played this back in 2013 or so in High School and let me tell you I’m having PTSD just listening to this 😭

Oh boy, time to try my best and end up in last place again

this went WAY harder than it should have

Hi John long time no see

Who needs whale sounds when you have this on 0.25 times speed

Why does his speeches look so simulated

When are you going to do this year’s etudes? They are a lot easier except for maybe one-two places. And even those spots aren’t too bad.

The only thing I found difficult on this etude was the middle section at 0:41

This was the same piece I had for euphonium when I was a sophomore in hs, 2011 lol

Dude when is etude 2 gonna come out? Taking so long!!!

I must know how you made the buzz noise in the end clip. I figured out the veggietales last year. Help me out

where can i get sheet music for this

John, what happened to your body and hair??? I'm scared now. Anyway, great playing as always. I'm going to predict for etude 3, you say the exact same words you said 2 years ago when that was the etude for ATSSB.

What book do you get these studies?

ATSSB Etudes?

When he started talking it looked like he was lip syncing for me

I played this my freshman year for euphonium

Put this on 2 times speed Thank me later

helpe me

Oh dang.. he showed me lol

This is why I’ve never tried out for All State...

0:36 what is that note

0:40

What’s the reason to disliking a video like this?

Does your tenor have two triggers?

I play trumpet but damn.....

0.40

why does he seem like hes been dubbed over

When you live in a different state

Guy looks like young jack black with beard

0:39

2:06

Боже, этот голос...

Me, a college senior in Missouri who doesn't even play tenor parts any more: 👁👄👁

I can hit the notes, but hitting notes plus the RHYTHM, fat chance

Haircut level 2

Чё он там сказал первый раз

Doesn't he play the wrong scale in measure 41?

*captions*
