You should write a book called " How to play Trombone so people will like you". I want to be able to play ballads and somber songs. How do I get there. My tone is good but how do I get to be more emotional and smoother.
With your playing level, in a few years you'll definitely break onto the studio scene in LA. There's no way someone as talented as you wont get picked up. If your sightreading is as good as your trombone playing, you'll be making bank playing on movie soundtracks and tv shows and all that. All bout them residual checks.
Wonderful teaching video. Your students are lucky and their parents should see this to know what they are getting. Isn't that the Huntington Rose Garden? Is this a recent video?
most of these tips you gave are some of the things me an most of the marching band i was in was told to do during ours group warm ups and each day we had to do a diffrent Scale
Paul, this maybe sound easy to you but im kinda a begginer trombonist, and still i dont know how to tune in my trombone, can you make a video about that please.
I assume you mean double-tonguing? use different syllables that provide the same tongue action as "Tu-Ku" (pronounced with soft letters (tuh-kuh)) You practice this without the horn, start slow and you eventually speed it up and can tongue for longer. Tu-ku, Du-gu Ti-ki Ta-ka are what I use, they each can be used in different situations for different expressions. For trombone Bob McChesney has som good recording and if you want to hear another great, check out Al hirts Green hornet on trumpet
Hey Paul, as a trombonist myself, I'm really curious to know what your tips/opinions are about and relating to doodle tonguing. Could you post a tutorial video about that?
I like it that everything you prescribe agrees with what I already am doing! And I have a question: Somewhere I saw a cat tell a story about how Tommy Dorsey never practiced, and his way of warming up was just to blow air through the horn a few times, without sound. It seems that would only warm the horn itself, or was there more to it? Can anyone enlighten me?
+1 for the Chet Baker quote! He is my favorite musician, and had a huge influence on my trombone playing...were he still alive I'd be where ever he is and go see him every night!
Great video! Made me feel like practicing! By the way, hope you don't mind me asking, do you have any tips for using the doodle tounge? Keep up the good work!
that was fun! Follow me on twitter to get in on the action next time twitter.com/jazztrombonist
thumbs up if you love Paul's sound
You have such a warm tone I love it
Helpful - thanks. Can always use the No 1 reminder about talking it slow - and sticking with it.
Just picked up the trombone after a 16 year absence and forgot how much I had loved playing
excellent, Paul..I've been on the bone for 58 years and emphasizing tone quality/long tones/ volume control is a bone player's first order of business
I do a similar warm up
Thanks Paul for your encouragement, I'm a new player

Do you not do buzzing/breathing exercises or did you just not include them for time's sake?
Hi Paul,
Good advices! What microphone/program are you using in this video? Sounds good!
is there any video of you that teaching us about playing in the high notes?
hey paul, what trombone do you recommend? I'm playing a king 606 right now
I know it depends on what you get, but about how much would one run you?
Play long tones.(the best warm up)
Just out of curiosity. Do you ever do breathing exercises?

Thanks Paul! Very helpful
I agree entirely with you about producing a good sound/tone. Real nice tips here. This video is defo for keeps.
Do you like tubas Paul?
Thanks so much for this
👍🏽 Thank you
Paul i have been playing for about a year now and this helped me out a lot thank you
Paul your tone is a little tight and airy, but is that because you play jazz a lot?
ALEX Nguyen this video is 5 years old and not a good representation of who I am as a musician today. Watch my newer content
The partial exercise is known as Remingtons.
Just wow!!!...You are amazing...
It hurts me when I get a ring around mine so I have to vibrate my lips like a horse for a few minutes. lol
"like a horse" LOL
