I just change my mouthpiece Yamaha 31 GP for a Holton Farkas MC 🙂

nice !

hello ! at the beginning of the video, you put the water of the horn this way ?

Omg this helped so much I got after a couple of days getting introduced to it thank you so much!

Thank you sooo much for this technique, helps a ridiculous amount, may god bless you❤️

If i feel like im running out of air in raspberries and the sound stops, what could be the problem? It doesn't happen in tongue trills and lip trills.

no wait i need more explaination on "soften your tongue" like how do i even get it to UNTENSE?

Hi! for the last 20 years I have never been able to do this so my lower lip moves. It has always been the upper lip. How do I make the lower lip move?

Thank youu

Love from South Africa. Just found out about this today and loving the results but gotta get this hum down 100% cause damn this stuff is amazing and I have been a performing singer for like a decade...I am about to take this to a whole new level in 2022

Dang i cant get it please help!

I got it instantly, you are a life saver!

this is the real tutorial

Interesting exercise but now I'm going to clean my computerscreen....;-)

OMG this is truly effective!

For me, when playing is not going well I need to step back and try to determine what 'playing actions' are not being achieved. That could be physical things such as body position, or lip condition, etc. It could also be lack of focus or concentration. I believe it is important for us to be aware of the various physical actions and conditions that go into 'playing well' - not to get 'hung-up' on those things, but to be able to recognize when something is amiss. If you don't know what's wrong, you'll try fixing something else.

I refer to this as my "inner billy goat". My inner billy goat emerges at the most inappropriate times. I'm sure there is a psychological component, but the manifestation is physiological for sure. And they feed on each other. I think we horn players are affected disproportionally by this, but I've been told if is an issue with many other brass instruments.

Wenn Sie spielen, hören Sie niemals auf und entschuldigen Sie sich, akzeptieren Sie es einfach und machen Sie weiter (niemand wird es erfahren). Du hast einen schönen Ton und ein gutes Gefühl. Technische Probleme lösen sich mit mehr Übung von selbst. Grüße aus Berlin!

You are over thinking but telling you to stop doing that won't help you but good start is stop asking random people to help you with a problem becouse there is high chance they don't have idea about teaching not mention about helping people that have stress issues good pedagogist with experience and will to help, not random people.

Thank you for your video. As beginners we are taught piece by piece, "flatten your chin, firm corners, vibrate lips, and do that in a tiny mouthpiece." As we progress, we add "pearls of wisdom" and hopefully improve bit by bit. Sort of a build from bottom up method. Once we become advanced players, we start to address performance issues, and IMHO the answer is "let 'er rip" and don't think too much about what you are doing. So if you are asking an advanced player, "what do I need to do" or "how do you do that", you are going to get an answer like "just sing through the horn", because that is what they are doing, after they've mastered the fundamentals. It might prove valuable to find a horn teacher dedicated to teaching or a friend who is a bit better and ask them. Most players don't shop for a teacher asking, do you focus on fundamentals or do you focus on performance practices. I don't think the subject has been discussed enough for most to realize there are different approaches, depending on the level of the student.

"Don't worry, you'll get it next time." and you don't. oof.

Nice video, this idea helped me with my practice this week 😀

You are my Horn Hero! I'll use these videos for years to come. Thank you!

Steph, I have so enjoyed watching not just your progress but learning quite a bit about practicing. Thank you so much for doing this and working through the episodes is such a wonderful resource. All the best!

Those pesky key signatures. I have my community band charts "decorated" with yellow highlighter especially for key and time signature changes. Don't you know, as I'm playing I completely miss those reminders, at least the first time around :) :) :)

Nice following along Steph! great video & Series of videos, especially for those of us who have or are still dealing with VM!! (for those who have never suffered from VM, consider yourself lucky, some of us here don‘t know what it is like to play certain simple attacks without anxiety.. and that even after decades of professional playing!)

I really like this one. Good job getting it done.

Back to here from flutter and I got a brief raspberry. Oh, I'm becoming quite a genius of this stuff!

OMG, I was just watching your raspberry vid again then switched here and I did get a couple of brief, singing flutter tones! Thank you.

Wow, that was beautiful. I tried to play it and I sounded just like you, except, not at all :) Thank you!

I’m going to try cold singing before playing. I do sing a bit but usually give myself a reference pitch. Are you aiming to do 100 of these? Cold garage practice = committed 👏

Keep on keepin' on!

Hi Steph, congrats on your project! And Best of luck! How many days do you plan to record your playing and practicing? Is there a time-frame? I am enjoying them..congrats!

Belated Merry Christmas!

Good job Steph... !

I'm really enjoying this series and I will start copying you, at a slower tempo, and including the flutter tongue. Like a master class for me. Thank you!

I love Raspberry Sounds like this 1:13

Oh, that's sounding soooo good!

Nice Steph!! It's great to hear your thought process when practicing and the tools you use to fix it. Bravo!!

you’re adorable

Thank you and happy Thangsgiving!

Thank you, maestra.

Good stuff. Lots for me to work on. How about a segment on the value of playing long tones, etc. at ppp? Feel better!

I definitely just spent a lot of time trying to get air to come out from under my tongue 👅

Great video! My buzz is on the top lip.. any tips to loosen the root of the tongue to get the underlip going?

This is gonna take some work.
