the young man has a quiet stiff posture, the arms are sticking at the body. He can learn to open his arm, getting aware of his sholders. In such lento tempo no great problem, but in fast tempi he is driving with tightened handbrake. Even for a guy with long arms like him it is a handicap.
you try to feel weight, weight of relaxation, in stead the force of muscles to rule over the diffculties. It needs time (hours and month) getting aware of these feeling, it is not an issue of a moment. Patient.
He is a fine player, great sound, fine intonation etc. but has to convince listeners that he realizes he is making music. For now, he is a fine trombone operator. His posture reflects his lack of confidence in his musicianship. When he becomes more focused on the phrases rather than the notes, he will be on the way to convincing an audience that he is a musician and not just a trombonist. I was told that as a young trombonist but it took me some time to let it happen. He probably won’t have to wait as long...
I’ve heard the same about singing. If you think downwards, the high notes don’t seem so unreachable. I really enjoy these videos
Quelque soit l'instrument choisi , une Master class c'est toujours du Haut niveau. 👍
It is the rush to the train under the rain.
Not the Tuba Mirum at the High Judge court.

Yeah, as soon as I saw him I noticed. It just looks so uncomfortable and unnatural.
Really he just has to play with more confidence
What trombone is he using?
Greenhoe
I like the idea of thinking in the opposite direction.
What exactly was he meaning with that?

Well said
I’m the opposite: I focus a lot on musicianship, yet am not always the cleanest player.
your patronising comment indicates you are probably half the player of the guy in the video. Go do some practice rather than slate others.
If he was playing a jazz solo... i would like his posture more
lowkey i play like this alot tho ngl
