Congratulations Katy Jones. I am Brazilian and I attend a big band in my locality. Currently I'm playing tenor trombone I'm grateful to have the opportunity to receive positive explanations, positive information that apply to the instrument. Thanks again and congratulations!
Man, this video brings back memories. I was a freshman in high school when I first started taking the horn seriously, and this video was a huge part of establishing my concept of tone!
Literally same. And the top audition videos of the winners too. As I look at them now as a professional myself I'm even more impressed now than I was then knowing what I know about auditions and how tough it is to sound that good for a panel of judges whether recorded or live. Sheesh. And she did that whole thing in one shot except talk except talk.
The prinicipal trombonist of one of the greatest orchestras in the world... and you criticize her slide technique? I think she knows more than you do...
In Great Britain a different rhythmic vocabulary is used for lengths of specific notes. A quaver is an eighth note. From longest to shortest, whole note = semibreve (breve is double whole note), half note = minum, quarter note = crotchet, eighth note = quaver, sixteenth note = semiquaver, 32nd = demisemiquaver, 64th = hemidemisemiquaver, and etc. with repeating "hemidemisemi". It's kind of confusing at first, but with a basic knowledge of Latin, you can kind of figure it out. Hope I helped!
hey oldschoolwaverider, Katy was born and brought up near lancaster, went to school and uni in manchester, but has lived in london for quite a few years via a few years in cardiff. she now lives back in the north after taking the principal bone position at the Hallé. hope this helps you
Glad you emphasized articulating the lower semi-quavers well. My teacher in the CSO even emphasized playing them louder because, as you say, they will get covered up otherwise :)
Irrelevant, she's an amazing trombonist. She was co-principal trombone of the LSO, and now the principal trombone of the Hallé orchestra... CVs like that don't lie.
@KVRIP Absolutely! Any changes in tambre between the same note played in different partials (a function largely of the overtone series for the partial in question) can be managed by a good player, the use of the word "alternate" is a bit misleading. Maintaining a fluid line and slide movement often dictates this, and if you look at a number of videos of professional players, you'll find it to be a widespread practice.
Just buy one(an inexpensive used one in a pawn shop is fine; bring it to a music shop and have a brass techinician check it out first) and start taking lessons from a university that recommends a good teacher and take off. Remember, it's a diffifult instrument and requires a lot of practice. Hours a day in the beginning. Keep at it and the results will be rewarding. Trombones in a choir can sound so good it's mindblowing!
Ms. Jones is an awesome player, but her Ride of the Valkyries excerpt wasn't my favourite. I prefer Leyendecker's style: more aggressive, and not so beautiful.
Brendon Phillips I was actually just thinking the same thing and I check the comments to see if anyone thought that too haha. She is still an amazing player of course, ive just learned to play Ride differently
Hayden Lee have you ever seen the opera? Thats not entirely accurate...the Wälküren are picking up slain bodies and but also laughing and joking about what their horses are doing. It’s not as blood and guts a moment as people think it is. It is a minor event that begins the third act. It is actually, in relation to the rest of the opera, and particularly the super heavy ending, a fairly “light” moment.
@MMBG398 although the trigger is useful to have, it always sounds better not to use it. the valve always messes with the flow of the air, no matter how high quality it is
It could also be for tuning....its easier to tune in the regular position. I've seen trombonists that have an F trigger, that don't use them unless needed (fast passages).
when i first heard this all that came across was wow. Im a young tromboneist and i was wondering if you had any tips on how to sound as good as you do?
I find it amusing how even the pros (like this lady) put their finger on the bell when in 3rd or 4th position to find the note. No trombone teacher on this earth teaches students to do that and most actually tell you not to!
@sjos1726 are you playing in the LSO? let alone co solotrombonist.. probably her intonation is based on what the orchestra plays, which might sound weird if you never played it in orchestra setting.
1. There is no "correct" position for the fingers 2. Flicking with the wrist is a bad idea the majority of slide arm movement comes from the elbow. 3. There's a reason she was in the LSO and you're not.
No it isn't, a quaver is what the Americans refer to as an '8th note'. Semi quavers are '16ths', demi-semi quavers are '32nd notes' and hemi-demi-semi quavers are '64th notes'.
I agree with Liszt! As much as I love alto, tenor has a very rich dark bottom to the sound! Alto can become very nasally. The best sound I've heard out of an Alto would have to be Christian Lindberg. He gives it that rich bottom I can't find anywhere else. SO AWESOME! :)
Its not the stock Conn mouthpiece that comes with the trombone - looks like a Denis Wick in gold plate. Maybe a 6.5 or 7? Looks like quite a shallow mouthpiece.
Wow. Remarkable playing. Iif she is now principal with the Halle then she is the 2nd lady to be principal of that orchestra. I'm sure there was a lady principal trombone at the Halle in the 1960's when female professional brass plaers were as rare as hens teeth
Cleanest articulation I ever heard
She probably has the fastest slide arm I've ever seen. Very impressive playing
fastest slide arm in the west
@@jeffcgh lol
no.

absolutely i am currently 1st chair Trombone in Middle School and this is an inspiration
Where are you now
Great video. Thank you, Katy Jones.
Brilliant. I need to go and practice now.
What a great sound. Love it I myself play trombone in a comunity band and have a great time. Best way to end a long day
Wow Katy, such a increadible tone! Hope to see more of you on youtube for both listening and learning. Thanks and God bless!
Wonderful! I wish I had one tenth of this lady's talent
A very nice and well prepared presentation. Great to hear these things played so well too!
Thank you for the wonderful master class. There are many pearls of wisdom
Really Wonderful. Even though I will not be auditioning, it's really great to hear this tips and listen to such a great trombonist. Thank you.
Excelent performance!! I loved this sound!! Congratulations Mrs. Katy!!
Whose idea was it to put the cue cards on the floor?
HAHAHA ok that was good.
Her tone is sooo good. I want to hear her play a solo piece. That would be awesome.
The clarity of her playing is equalled by the clarity of her speech.
if you just wanna hear her play:
walküre: 1:03
hungarian march: 3:40
schumann: 6:54
The prinicipal trombonist of one of the greatest orchestras in the world... and you criticize her slide technique? I think she knows more than you do...
I know this is 8 years later but Lol yeh
What a beautiful tone..I'd love to hear your interpretation of the Bolero... :)
her trombone makes such a brilliant sound! my ex-music teacher used to play with the LSO :) she's now here, all the way in Australia. lol

It is one of the best trombone players I have heard I am a trombone player my self I can't wait till I sound this good
Heard you for the first time, very enjoyable/. Thank you/. Trumpetman/.

Mother of god. Great video, great melody and beautiful trombone player.
Excellent player. Why are so many top English women trombone players so good looking?
Amazing and really clean!
Wow, what a beautiful sound
I think she is lovely, both as a person and as a player.
@stillengage She's the co-principal trombone for one of the greatest orchestras in the world, she can hold the slide with her foot if she wants to.
I love her sound!!
Beautiful song
Her Slide technique is fantastic!
Wow, what intonation. Beautiful!
Irrelevant, she's an amazing trombonist. She was co-principal trombone of the LSO, and now the principal trombone of the Hallé orchestra... CVs like that don't lie.
It's a fatastic class! Thank you so much!
her schumann excerpt is delicious. this kind of playing makes me want to go and do some practice.
Level is high indeed - Trombone Master Class LSO (player) played really great
It's the best 120% is a great video
Thank you!
Mira (SGL)
@Thatrandomguy1887 it is, there is a green screen so people wont get offended
Thank you SO much!

That top E flat in the Schumann was so damn clean I put my head in my hands for a full 30secs...
Just buy one(an inexpensive used one in a pawn shop is fine; bring it to a music shop and have a brass techinician check it out first) and start taking lessons from a university that recommends a good teacher and take off. Remember, it's a diffifult instrument and requires a lot of practice. Hours a day in the beginning. Keep at it and the results will be rewarding. Trombones in a choir can sound so good it's mindblowing!
love the tone
Lovely sound!!
Yay! I'm not the only one who puts their finger on the bell around 3rd position! And she's a professional :D
Thank you for the lesson. I don't know why trombone players try to be so critical.. beautiful sound, thank you for sharing.
The Schumann was absolutely fabulous, well it all was but especially the Schumann. Perfect use of vibrato (in my very humble opinion).
this is pretty cool i wsnt expecting this from her..
Complimenti per l'interpretazione!!!
good job . thanks for master class bravo!
That's really great and useful tips! ;) Thanks to this lady! :)
MAGNIFIQUE et de très bons conseils
brilliant, inspirational!
Ms. Jones is an awesome player, but her Ride of the Valkyries excerpt wasn't my favourite. I prefer Leyendecker's style: more aggressive, and not so beautiful.
Brendon Phillips I was actually just thinking the same thing and I check the comments to see if anyone thought that too haha. She is still an amazing player of course, ive just learned to play Ride differently
+Cole Davis I also agree, she has a beautiful sound though
Brendon Phillips I agree. Ride of the Valkyries is about goddesses of war deciding who dies. It should be gritty
Brendon Phillips If my eardrums aren't blown out you didn't play loud enough, end of story

I love her!
@MMBG398 although the trigger is useful to have, it always sounds better not to use it. the valve always messes with the flow of the air, no matter how high quality it is
This is golden
I hope i will be as awesome of a player as her one day...
uau...great,good job.thanks for this song,beautiful songs i like this.
i''m bass trombonist from brasil.
i'm sorry for the bad inglish.
ótimo vídeo, para quem gosta de trombone, não perca
Great tone!
It could also be for tuning....its easier to tune in the regular position. I've seen trombonists that have an F trigger, that don't use them unless needed (fast passages).
MEU DEUS, QUE SOM ! MUITO LINDO... PARABÉNS !
Dear Katy
Clean and wonderful Sound.
Admire! Katy,
Helped me in my music test ty!
she sounds damn good!
when i first heard this all that came across was wow. Im a young tromboneist and i was wondering if you had any tips on how to sound as good as you do?
Katy, you're a great teacher. How long have you been playin'?
Puedes sugerirme un ejercicio para evitar la retención
Wow, she is really good.
I find it amusing how even the pros (like this lady) put their finger on the bell when in 3rd or 4th position to find the note. No trombone teacher on this earth teaches students to do that and most actually tell you not to!
Wow I soooo wish I could sound anything close to that.
@sjos1726 are you playing in the LSO? let alone co solotrombonist..
probably her intonation is based on what the orchestra plays, which might sound weird if you never played it in orchestra setting.
1. There is no "correct" position for the fingers

3. There's a reason she was in the LSO and you're not.
Passem as legendas lentamente para que possamos ler e aproveitar o ensinamento.
Thanks for posting this, was wondering what she ment when she said that. Language barrior..
definitely not reading from a script
I am just wondering do you have the hungarian march music sheet
Katy, do you also have a soprano trombone in your collection?
Somewhere in the South... maybe like, Cambridge or something?
0:48 She says Rubato, not vibrato
I have seen a tenor saxophone in one of their videos.
No it isn't, a quaver is what the Americans refer to as an '8th note'. Semi quavers are '16ths', demi-semi quavers are '32nd notes' and hemi-demi-semi quavers are '64th notes'.

Does her innerslide look like it isn't aligned to anyone else. It looks like it starts in one area then sort of bends alittle and looks farther up.
What is a quaver? Is it like a note but in Londonish?
question here. Why does she go to sixth position when she has a f trigger?
Its not the stock Conn mouthpiece that comes with the trombone - looks like a Denis Wick in gold plate. Maybe a 6.5 or 7? Looks like quite a shallow mouthpiece.
Could you please tell me whereabouts in The UK your accent is from, as it would really help my English students. Thank you.
Wow. Remarkable playing. Iif she is now principal with the Halle then she is the 2nd lady to be principal of that orchestra. I'm sure there was a lady principal trombone at the Halle in the 1960's when female professional brass plaers were as rare as hens teeth
magnificent
Is that a Denis Wick mouthpiece,.?
Dat tone!
Good advice here!
The Schumann was incredible.
looks like a newer conn 88h open wrap
