2020-2021 TMEA All State Tenor Trombone Etude #2 - G Minor Lento by Blazhevich 

Obinna Nwakwue, but is SHARPE!!!!!!!!!!

Ngl I think it’s kinda sharp

Yea, gotta agree with everyone else

yeah now that others are saying it, I realized it's kinda sharp

Yeah tbh it is

Agreed. It’s just so musically satisfying.

Whats it like teaching for that long?Have techniquesw of playing changed from 30 Years ago?

@@lolom8772 good question. I think the biggest changes are security at the schools, and changes the smart phone and internet world has brought us (youtube recording, electronic payments, texting and email for communication, and app based metronomes and tuners)

Mark Finley oh ok that would definitely make sense, must’ve been crazy when students started using their phones to keep the tempo instead huh?

@@lolom8772 we had metronomes before, but they were separate devices that if the kids had them, usually had dead batteries. Students are much better at keeping their phones charged. Back then, electronic tuners were pretty rare and expensive. No excuses these days for not having one

fr as a freshman I feel like I’m a solid player but this guy is something else

Not gonna lie my chops would be dead by measure 20

TheAverageGamer yeah I can only play through this abt twice before my chops are gone

freshman gang! and yea, John is a huge inspiration with these videos

Shantanu Chakraborty lmao nice

We all did

Wait I didn’t expect him to actually say that I thought you were just joking

Stop that, pay attention in school.

I’m on zoom and I’m listening to this and my band instructor

@@theaveragegamer5464 you too, pay attention in school.

same

@@blairens Dont have videos open during class, pay attention in school!

my school wants me to learn it as a freshman WTF

Flying Turtleman Don’t worry you’ll get it the first million of tries like did.

Flying Turtleman lmao fr bro it be like that in high school

Flying Turtleman I’m a freshman too and last year I was 3rd in my region but with enough practice you’ll get it. Just build your range by doing high buzzes on your mouthpiece for 5 minutes a day and then play those pitches. I do this with my private lesson teacher. My first lesson I could barely play a high g above the staff and now I can play a double e flat. It’s just practice

I have to do it for a fine arts school audition junior year and another song twice as long

No that's a tenor trombone......

Obinna Nwakwue no he’s right. He has a double valve tenor trombone

@@thejjjer346 I said that was a tenor trombone......

It's a tenor btw. Single valve tenor. But the valve has two rotors. Check it out on the Shires website, the Twin Valve!

Late response, but that raspberry sound that a lot of synthesizers and younger players produce on the attack is basically the waves taking a long time to cancel out at the beginning of the note. Not to get into complicated acoustics, but if you know how strings instruments work, it's much the same for brass instruments. In other words, every possible frequency plays immediately, but because of the shape of the horn and the embouchure, most frequencies end up canceling each other out and all you're left with is the fundamental note that you hear and multiples of that note (the harmonic series). To be less technical, I get my air and buzz into the horn immediately and so you don't have that audible brraaaapp sound at the beginning, whereas most younger players actually start their air a bit too slow. It's still there, but it's much much quicker so it's inaudible. At least, that's my working theory.

@@SashaRomeroMusic Exactly. More air = yes

UGA Janfest?

@@Wagglezzz it was the UGA janfest. Though not the whole thing. I think it was like the first 16 measures or so that we had to play for the audition

Titan_293 Yeah same bro! I remember a lot people played the piece a lot faster because they misinterpreted the tempo/ time signature lol

Same here, no idea why this is in my recommended.

fr same im a bassoon player

Musical phrasing, dynamics, breathing,etc... All great tips no matter what instrument you play. I listen to piano players and I play trombone!

@Saurav Bastola he meant by John Romero

@Saurav Bastola They have not posted the 3rd Etude for this year's Etudes

@@HoughtonHorns oh my lord thank you so much

It's actually on there, but some of the middle is cut out. You can get the same cap from Shires if you end up with a twin valve! Ask them about the Skeleton cap. Opens up the sound a bit.

Don't recall this being a Rochut. Only seen it in Blazhevich
