    If he fires a weapon as good as he plays the trombone, God help his enemies.

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

    He made great sounds in one position! Wow. As a beginning, I'm starting to see more and more of what can be done with the trombone. It's endless.

    “Loud, high and fast” yep. That describes it.

    Thank you very much first off I'm going to strive to be as good as you but I also needed to know a good way to improve my range for a piece I'm teaching myself for fun that gets up to an above staff g I'm getting close but don't want to hurt my embouchure by trying to force it this will help thank you again

    Allowing the tongue to rise as you ascend is associated with the changes in the lip aperture to change pitch it is not In some way related to air speed because air speed through the aperture is not positively influenced by the tongue . And when whistling you are changing the resonance of the oral space this is of no consequence when playing the instrument .

    one problem i have is that even if i can play say a high F comfortably i cant hit the next partial up, so i cant even practice it

    One thumb down. Kind of indicates that clarinet players look at these videos too I guess. This young man can play. Neat video. Go Air Force.

    What slide position is high Gb?

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

    If you hear a teacher say its "airspeed". THAT is brass bro-science. Airspeed has NOTHING to do with pitch. The embouchure posture controls the pitch. Not some mythical "airspeed" concept. It's just something brass players hear and repeat.

      @@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.

      @samuelrobertson594 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@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.

    • @BrassBro-Science-ys7sg
      @BrassBro-Science-ys7sg 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
