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.
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!
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...
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 :)
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
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.
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.
@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!
@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
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?
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).

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

Thank you for the wonderful master class. There are many pearls of wisdom
Great video. Thank you, Katy Jones.

Whose idea was it to put the cue cards on the floor?
HAHAHA ok that was good.
A very nice and well prepared presentation. Great to hear these things played so well too!

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
Excellent player. Why are so many top English women trombone players so good looking?
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
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 :)
The clarity of her playing is equalled by the clarity of her speech.
I think she is lovely, both as a person and as a player.
That's really great and useful tips! ;) Thanks to this lady! :)

her schumann excerpt is delicious. this kind of playing makes me want to go and do some practice.
Dat tone!
Complimenti per l'interpretazione!!!
Your my role model
Dear Katy
Clean and wonderful Sound.
Admire! Katy,
I hope i will be as awesome of a player as her one day...
That top E flat in the Schumann was so damn clean I put my head in my hands for a full 30secs...
solid !!
solid !
Thank you for the lesson. I don't know why trombone players try to be so critical.. beautiful sound, thank you for sharing.
EXCELENTE SONIDO.

Crotchet - Quarter note
Minim - Half note
Quaver - Eighth note
Semiquaver - Sixteenth note
Semibreve - Whole note
Semitone - Half step
@Thatrandomguy1887 it is, there is a green screen so people wont get offended
@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.
👏!
oh my god
Wow I soooo wish I could sound anything close to that.
Yay! I'm not the only one who puts their finger on the bell around 3rd position! And she's a professional :D
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.
CONGRATULACIONS
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
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 is actually, in relation to the rest of the opera, and particularly the super heavy ending, a fairly “light” moment.
The Schumann was absolutely fabulous, well it all was but especially the Schumann. Perfect use of vibrato (in my very humble opinion).
bravo
GOOD TEACHER!!!! gracie
You sound great!!!

Thanks for posting this, was wondering what she ment when she said that. Language barrior..
@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's the best video beautiful wonderful 120%
(Famous masterpiece)
Shes really beautiful
WOW :)
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?
Passem as legendas lentamente para que possamos ler e aproveitar o ensinamento.
@luckyjinxer yep.
吹的真棒！
The Schumann was incredible.
I have seen a tenor saxophone in one of their videos.
definitely not reading from a script
I'd love your school then.
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).
