Developing High Range on the Trombone 

I think that he plays/fires only the trombone in the army, that's why he is so good !!

​. Facts

Pedals too

Flat 3. Also 5. All 6th partials are flat and need to be taken in about half a position.

Looks like a Getzen.

do the same thing starting with all 3 valves down and then go up the valve progression

True

Do you have proof for this? I'm genuinely curious.

@@samuelrobertson594 the clear mouthpiece videos provide proof. The pitch changes with lip firmness. Conversely, show me One study where air flow velocity ANYWHERE Is measured and correlates to pitch played.

@@BrassBro-Science-ys7sg several studies suggested that it was a correlation between aperture, air volume, and airspeed. Only one mentioned lip firmness. I only originally replied to your comment because I am a trombone major, and recently I have been focusing a lot on embouchure and range. I used to think that lip firmness was the answer, so I did exercises to strengthen my lips, but it was not until I implemented information similar to that shown in this video that I saw progress. I have gained a 5th in my high range and nearly an octave over all. Besides that, my tone quality has improved. Wheter or not airspeed is actually the answer, thinking about it this way has been successful for me.

I think you are referring to air flow not air "volume". These are not the same. Air pressure is also often confused as "air speed". I am not suggesting that one use excessive embouchure effort or firmness and many use excessive effort across the full range. Much of the "air mechanics" of air-speed by tongue movement is just repeated popular verbiage. It just is not literally true. It doesn't matter what movements one does with the tongue and these can be helpful for moderating the embouchure effort. But If the lips don't change the pitch doesn't change. Raising the tongue does not increase the air flow velocity through the lip aperture.

now you can’t see the dislikes
