8th-Grade Saxophone Player Burns Through Flight Of The Bumblebee 

aaaa so true-

TRUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEE

As a member of a middle school band, this is 100% true 😔🤚

Omg- why is this so true 💀🖐️

@@natawwee same

tristen gambito he’s 14 that’s a long time to wait

Probably me after memorizing whole megalovania in flute

tristen gambito I got 1k likes for u

And completely crushes it...#GoodStuff

So true 😄

That's what I'm saying... been taught over and over but still can't do it

You are blessed ❤️

Hope you’re doing good and staying safe. Sending support and hearts. ❤❤❤❤❤

Sorry for your loss, but one way that makes me happy in dark times is playing my violin and saxophone. So you should sit down and learn because the piano is a peaceful instrument 😊

My mother also played this on the piano along with a jazzed up version called, The Bumble Boogie. I couldn't believe how fast she could play. She was a childhood prodigy and a virtuoso. She's been gone quite awhile now. I played saxophone as a kid but not like this kid. Amazing.

Lmao

Lol underrated comment

Stop putting “no one” in memes. It isn’t humorous

Goofy Goober 420 I don’t find it humorous but plenty of people seem to find it humorous

Goofy Goober 420 stop being a buzz-kill 💕 even if you don’t like a meme doesn’t mean everyone doesn’t.

Only if you practice 40 hours a day

Someone Random I was looking for this comment

Omg yes

Someone Random you’re the real two set violin fan right here😂

Two set gang

The burrowing of the face into to his hands is just pure disappointment

😂

Well he does play trumpet

@@choeung 😂

I used the same time as the later time I used the he can join drum corp though when he’s older

Oh-

I sat next to 2 All-Northwest Bassoonists. I feel his pain. Still. And I'm in my mid 60's...

My old 7th grade band teacher

@@adus2821 Actually the correct instrument is mayonnaise

Walter Rashid yes this is true

This is how we band nerds get the ladies 😂

@@Joep14329 “nerd” is a little provocative, don’t ya think?

Milly Fin Lol. Didn't even see that. I knew he was sitting but now I see it and i cant stop laughing.

Lmao now that u mention it I see him standing and being short!! Lmao!!! Before I knew he was sitting

Wtf

Hahha i didn't notice and now i can't unsee it!?

Some David Blaine stuff.. # saxophonerising

They don’t know the pain of saxophonists. His poor pinkies...this is a true Ling Ling workout on the sax

@@noahkane26 my tongue would have splinters after my reed would throw a hissy fit 😖

@@noahkane26 plus the circular breathing

@@noahkane26 and when your Saxophone keys would get stuck onto things, like if you wore ripped jeans. Total pain to get it unstuck-

@@eliaracampos389 Can’t relate too much, but I get what you mean. It’s happened a couple times since I wear a bit baggy jeans, but it’s not a common occurrence for me

AstralLemon Amen.

Amen

True

I can hear the band class down the hall from one of my classes. Of course I am in band as well The people in the class probably went into shock while he was playing, thus silencing them lolol This boi has lungs of steel. The flutes have lungs of titaniumdiamonds Any1 relate? ^^^^ Lovely

Julian Leon she wants the bumbleD

“Circular breathing”

Best comment here. Thx!

Wolf Saz *Whoosh*

Me too

Right?!?

What is circular breathing?

@@tiggert4002 I guess breathing while playing?

That’s what I said! Also the way he switches registers so quickly and easily! 😳😳

Called circle breathing. Pushing air out of his mouth while inhaling through his nose, shits wild.

@@deadlyguy1292 you missed the joke

Deadly Guy r/woooosh

Circle breathing is the most impossible fucking thing

@@AnthonyHernandez-xr1uy y

Judging by your comment, I think it's safe to assume that you're not a very experienced musician or else you wouldn't have said circular breathing and tripling instruments is easy. I'm not claiming that I'm anything special either, but it's just ridiculous to make such a claim and is most likely a brag. In the very least, you're in no position to put yourself above this student. To get a mature sound on the first saxophone you play, it will take years to develop. Usually well past eighth grade. This student already has a very mature tone at his age, and judging from his playing, I wouldn't doubt that he has a similar devotion to his other two instruments. Most band directors wouldn't have an eighth grader double or triple anyway, since it generally won't sound great and the band isn't great to begin with. Which goes to show that he is most likely very advanced on three instruments while even the best players at that age are usually decent on one. Circular breathing is not an easy skill period. Yes, it comes easier to some, however to get a seamless circular breath (not bending pitch, stopping air flow, pinching mouthpiece) while playing sixteenth notes at that tempo is a very difficult thing to do, and I'd argue that most professionals would try to find ways around it since most people prefer to circular breath on sustained notes. Chromaticism actually has nothing to do with the difficulty of the piece. On a trombone, say, sixteenth notes for something like Carnival of Venice are much more difficult than sixteenth notes for Flight, because chromatic notes are actually physically easier to play in succession for a trombone. But for a saxophone, the chromatic scale does not offer any shortcuts that make it easier to play than other things. So while yes, you are more likely to practice a chromatic scale than the sixteenth note runs in Incantation and Dance, the fact that they are chromatic in no way contributes to a lack of impressiveness because the physical dexterity it takes is mostly all the same. And yes, I understand there are other very talented young musicians. I don't think they take away from the fact that this kid is very good at what he does and will probably continue on to be amazing.

whoever you were talking to deleted their comment out of pure embarrassment of their stupid comment that warranted such a logical response. lmao

Joe Finn BEST PERSON EVER OMG! Lmao made him delete his comment dude.

Joe Finn there are some alternate fingerings for the chromatic scale...he may have used some...or not...... certainly he is an 8th grade monster...I was one as well back in 72/73

Joe Finn where did you get soprano from

reanna marr circle breathing

+Roninator inc. it is impressive. I'm in band I would no it is very hard to learn a instrument .even harder to do that.

Stephanie Rodrigues It isn't that impressive honestly. His intonation was weak.

Sacrilegious

Hello sir i would like to inform you of circular breathing

Yes. There is something called circle breathing. It's hard

Circular breathing is a thing

Band kids don't breath, and even if we did, which we definitely don't, you would never know

What does that mean? Inhalin while exhaling?

WHAT? I didn't understand A single word

At :45 it looks like she is talking tO her friend or something

Do they really insist that their kids play songs perfectly in all ways?

@@ultimatesmacker8670 they insist on doing everything as good as possible and even better since around one century ago China was in a really deep economical pit, and they worked hard to be successful and now they do that with their kids (my personal opinion from learning history in Canada)

@@aleksandrsimonov4591 Ahh, I see now. Thanks for the info dude!

@@ultimatesmacker8670 im african american but i love woth asians i will say they expect alot from there children so much so that even tho me and my dad are African American and im not very much hardworker they still push me

at the tempo hes playing at, a sheet music wouldnt even help much

Don’t think anyone can even think that fast you would just play it slowly until you get the pattern then okay it faster

Right😂😂😂😂
