Quand j'ai repris le trombone je pratiquais cet exercice tous les jours et je l'enchainais avec le glissando, de manière à travailler verticalement et horizontalement, mais c'est vrai que je bouge beaucoup mon masque, donc je vais retravailler avec le miroir comme tu le préconise. Merci beaucoup pour ces tutoriels fantastiques, hautement instructifs. 👍
Oh and your sound... Oooof so fat no matter where you are on the horn. I'm very interested in this concerto you mentioned a bunch.. can't figure out how to spell the name of the composer lol
Another great video, William! Question: It appears that the mouthpiece moves up and down on your embouchure and the angle of your horn changes slightly as you go up and down with your rips. Is this related to the minimal chop motion you mentioned?
Oh yes! There is no real way to zero out, or completely get rid of motion through the ranges I'm using. I like to try to find the minimal possible motion for maximum efficiency
So I just got into my freshman year in college and since my senior year of high school I've been only really been able to play up to an F# above the staff, above tuning note Bb, and I haven't really been able to reach beyond that. I don't really have a exercise that really helps my practice to hit beyond the F#. I try to get to the G above the F# and it speeks but not in good tone and sounds really thin and I am not confident in hitting it when playing pieces. Any tips and exercises?
I like to watch in a mirror at first to make sure I'm not using tension or pulling the embochure back (like a smile, in a way?) to try to play high notes. from there, at your level, I like to work on gentle glissandos from 6th/7th position up to first - focusing on keeping ease of playing while making sure the core of the sound stays engaged and doesn't fuzz out. if you ever want to work on a quick lesson by zoom please feel free to reach out - somethings are better seen than explained!
Congrat on your professorship! Iam an 83 year old comeback low brass player trying to establish the fundamentals with what are to me new extensions beyond , Clarke, tried and true Remington routines. Thanks for helping me enjoy the horn again . Fantastic!!!
Hi from Venezuela William! Your exercises are really helpful! I practice it weekly
Thanks for sharing your hard-earned knowledge Prof - instructive and inspiring
Really like the alternating between 2nd and 3rd partial idea for centering the 3rd partial.
Yeah - it's easy to rip through without fully hearing the notes
Thank you, hyper inspiring!

Merci beaucoup!
Amazing video!! Your exercices and knowledges really helped me to be better in high range.
Merci beaucoup 😁
I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for watching

Love your attitude :)

I believe that's the Iannis Xenakis concerto, it's called Troorkh
Another great video, William!

@@WilliamLangThat makes sense. Thanks, again, William. I am loving these videos. ❤
