Hi BrassNation! Happy Memorial Day to all my American friends! Enjoy this gorgeous arrangement of The Swan made by Drew Fennell. Don't forget to show some love by sharing, liking and commenting, we would greatly appreciate it! Have a great week peeps! Matonizz
Beautiful control on a slow piece… but you knew that! 😁 I did not know you weren’t American. Of course I’m watching this on Valentine’s Eve so, Happy Valentine’s Day!
I'm a highschool low brass player, mainly playing tuba, but also playing on euphonium and trombone. Your informational videos are really helpful to me, and I love hearing you perform solos because I can't listen to any in-person. Thank you for making this content :)
Omggggg nice choice of instruments man. I know trombone and since euphonium and trombone read same sheets I'm planning on getting a euphonium too. But like sweet man keep it up
I like fast and fun solos like Carnival of Venice Fantasy for Euph Yellow Rose of Texas Variations (which you should do) but this reminded me that the Euph can play nice and beautifully too
This breath control around letter 3 is just from another world. After two years I still come back repeatedly in awe of these skills and musicianship. Extraordinary!
I played the euphonium from the age of 10 till my twenties, when for financial reasons I sold my beloved euph - listening to you play has made me realise what a hole it left in my life… Lyndon Baglin was without doubt my favourite, and I always listened to the Child’s brothers and Mead (David Child’s was just coming to the fore when I left uni) - you are right up there and an amazing exponent of a beautiful instrument.
having played in a brass band since i was about 11 (I'm 16 now) and hopped through multiple instruments but landed on eupho couple months ago, I love playing it and absolute love this blokes talent
I am playing this solo at my part time job for 6-8 year old’s (I work at a day care.) hopefully I can inspire some of them to play an instrument. (Or even better: euphonium.)
I loved this. It is so smooth and mellow. Very, very calming and sometimes that is what everyone needs. I also like fast beats but the world moves so fast right now and we all need to slow down to something nice. Thanks.
a bit random but I'm 16 now and I started playing euphonium when I was 8, but i stopped when I was 14 years old. I don't think I've ever loved my euphonium the amount it deserved. I kinda feel bad that I stopped playing, but now I am learning to admire instruments more and I know that one day I'll be ready to pick it up again. Thank you for making me love music again.
Very nice played! I especially like the long continuous phrases, reducing the breathing breaks to a minimum. Great vibrato; not too much, not too little.
That tone was absolutely beautiful, my chops would die trying to practice this piece but I am inspired by how great this playing was to continue working on my skills
It's not just the sound alone that makes the music but if you have the brass of any instrument from soprano to tuba If you have the ability to make the brass sing lyrically like the human voice can play this art of playing I hear in this rendition of the swan and that's not just the vibrato but the soul of making your brass sing....bravo player
Absolutely beautiful. Well played. I love brass. I play trumpet and cornet, but my favourite sound of all is the euphonium, it’s so warm and full but gentle. Thanks for this, it’s fab
I'm a pianist and I was never really conditioned to the sound of brass, so I don't really have emotional connection to brass sounds, but the is the best recording of this piece ice ever heard.
I played this in my year 11 exams on Tenor Horn. Beautiful piece to play, and very exhausting on the chops for me now given I am only a couple of months back into playing after 18 months of not playing.
Beautiful playing, with lovely tone and excellent vibrato. My question is why do you play G with third valve instead of one and two, and why do you play ledger line E with one and three? Is it something particular to this horn or do you always do this?
Beautiful playing -- I enjoy your videos, which inspired me to buy a euphonium and switch from trumpet. By the way, I downloaded the sheet music for this piece, but it's written in a different key (C) rather than F, as shown and played here, and I prefer the sound in the higher register. Please advise -- and thank you!
Thank you for kind words and your purchase John. Really appreciate your support. I've just replied to your email. Check that out and let me know if that resolved the issue. Best, A
I really enjoy playing along with the pieces you post videos of :). I recently graduated college with a music degree and will be starting my first year of teaching in August. I'm looking to buy my own euphonium as I only used an instrument owned by my college. Do you have any suggestions for an intermediate-advanced euphonium or have videos on the subject?
Las partituras que todas, están publicadas? Se pueden conseguir? Donde? No se hablar ni entiendo el inglés por eso no podría seguir tus cursos pero si compraría algunas de las partituras que son muy bonitas
It takes time, but focus on strengthening your facial muscles and ability to control aperture & tension through exercises like freebuzzing and lip bending, also, work on developing inhale capacity and control through breathing exercises. Lastly, work on slurs and scale patterns to develop an ability to control airspeed going from high to low. Check some of my educational videos for more specific examples and exercises :)
I just graduated high school and I’d like to continue to play the euphonium, but the community college I’m going to doesn’t have a band program and in order to play in this other band I would need to have my own instrument. Do you know of any relatively inexpensive, but decent sounding euphoniums that you’d recommend to those with a low budget and a desire to continue playing?

As an ex high school euphonium player (I’m 25 now so it’s been a while) this brought a literal tear to my eye 😭 I miss playing
I found a baritone in a pawn shop for $25. Get yourself an instrument and play. Just for yourself.
You can buy a used euphonium for cheap. If it's that emotional for you, it's probably something important to who you are.
Get your own instrument and play at home.
Stay active, always.
I'm in the same boat! 2nd chair euphonium, class of '08. This is so incredibly beautiful ❤️. It makes me want to play again in the future!
This is the content I subbed for.
I listen once, i listen twice.
I play trumpet, but love the euphonium.
I would love to learn the euphonium.
Your playing is superb. I,m 90 and still playing euph in two bands.
wow!

As a high school euphonium player all I can say is “wow”. Truly incredible! I hope to play as beautifully as you some day!
Thank you!

That’s some good shit right there

Thanks for kind words as always Sandra! Glad you enjoyed it :)
This is absolutely beautiful.

Thank you wunderful solie deo gloria
Superbe !
Amazing video, and very vibrant shirt!
Thanks Christopher!
Amazing control!! Unbelievable!
I never played in school because i couldn't but I picked up a euphonium and i wish i could play like this :(
Very nice played! I especially like the long continuous phrases, reducing the breathing breaks to a minimum. Great vibrato; not too much, not too little.
That tone was absolutely beautiful, my chops would die trying to practice this piece but I am inspired by how great this playing was to continue working on my skills
Thank you!
As a person practicing this I can confirm that in fact my chops are burning😂
It's not just the sound alone that makes the music but if you have the brass of any instrument from soprano to tuba If you have the ability to make the brass sing lyrically like the human voice can play this art of playing I hear in this rendition of the swan and that's not just the vibrato but the soul of making your brass sing....bravo player
I have played this arrangement before.....just wonderful!!!
Absolutely beautiful. Well played. I love brass. I play trumpet and cornet, but my favourite sound of all is the euphonium, it’s so warm and full but gentle. Thanks for this, it’s fab
lindo!!!!!!! parabéns
In Portugal we have a saying "Só não chora quem não tem coração". It means "Just don't cry who has no heart", or something like that!
Amazing work!!!
This swan is adorable.
This was hella beautiful. Def gonna need to practice this one myself!
Thank you & have fun! It's an awesome piece :)
Beautiful. I bought a jp274 because of you, and it has helped improve my range and tone.
So beautiful!
beautiful and smooth sound like in a dream!
Thank you Alejandro!
Beautiful! Tone of perfection
Thanks Lance!
I'm a pianist and I was never really conditioned to the sound of brass, so I don't really have emotional connection to brass sounds, but the is the best recording of this piece ice ever heard.
Very kind of you friend!
Just started out as low brass section leader. Gonna try this for trombone
It will work really nice on tbone!
If u can, can u suggest any HS tuba stand tunes that sound good non double tounging
Wonderful phrasing. You shape each passage very well. Bravo
Thank you very much!
Amazing! Well done sir.
Gonna have fun with this! Thank you for the wonderful content, as per usual.
Thanks and have fun!
I played this in my year 11 exams on Tenor Horn. Beautiful piece to play, and very exhausting on the chops for me now given I am only a couple of months back into playing after 18 months of not playing.
Yep, always a challenge when playing string pieces :)
You have an incredible tone dude
Excelente...
I love this so much! Great job as usual.
Thanks for kind words as always!
Impressionante como é lindo o som deste instrumento, causa arrepios de tão lindo que é.
This is superb, bravo!
Very musically playi
великолепно!
Thanks Nick!
Really good man!
Thank you!
Oh yes~
Thank you Bill! :)
This song was in Loki episode 4
on a side note.....people think playing slow is easy.....IT ISN"T....I find it more difficult myself....just as challenging
This is you know. Thanks make it
Your finger positions are interesting. Beautiful.
Thank you!
im 17 and a sophomore baritone and i can play this
Beautiful playing, with lovely tone and excellent vibrato. My question is why do you play G with third valve instead of one and two, and why do you play ledger line E with one and three? Is it something particular to this horn or do you always do this?
It varies from horn to horn, but it's always either intonation, centering or finger convenience. In this case the intonation :)
👏👏👏🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thank you!

@@Matonizz Yes, the issue is resolved -- my mistake! Thank you.
What grade is this peice? Its beautiful
I really enjoy playing along with the pieces you post videos of :). I recently graduated college with a music degree and will be starting my first year of teaching in August. I'm looking to buy my own euphonium as I only used an instrument owned by my college. Do you have any suggestions for an intermediate-advanced euphonium or have videos on the subject?
Interesting that you use 3rd valve for A (treble clef).
What's your favorite euphonium? Virtuoso?
Really don't have a favorite one nowadays. As long as it works well and is reliable I'll play it :)
Las partituras que todas, están publicadas? Se pueden conseguir? Donde? No se hablar ni entiendo el inglés por eso no podría seguir tus cursos pero si compraría algunas de las partituras que son muy bonitas
Hi Alberto, you can download them here: www.matonizz.com/product/the-swan/
How do I work on tone color I never really got that?
What grade is this?
do meditations from thais by massenet
Thank you :)
Where can I get the backing track for this please?

Hey, I was originally a trombone player, but I'm switching to euphonium for high school. How do I get a confident and beautiful tone like you?
It takes time, but focus on strengthening your facial muscles and ability to control aperture & tension through exercises like freebuzzing and lip bending, also, work on developing inhale capacity and control through breathing exercises. Lastly, work on slurs and scale patterns to develop an ability to control airspeed going from high to low. Check some of my educational videos for more specific examples and exercises :)
What euphoniums do you play on? You sound great on all of them btw
Thanks! I use JP274s primeraly nowadays :)
I just graduated high school and I’d like to continue to play the euphonium, but the community college I’m going to doesn’t have a band program and in order to play in this other band I would need to have my own instrument. Do you know of any relatively inexpensive, but decent sounding euphoniums that you’d recommend to those with a low budget and a desire to continue playing?
What's the budget that you're working with Blake?
@@Matonizz I don’t quite have a budget just yet, but I would like to know what instruments or brands to look into for the future.
Do you have any marching band experience? Just wondering. And I loved this vid btw
Thanks and some but not much. To be fair, I'm not very good at marching, especially if I need to play marching euph or bari :)
69th comment, great video 👍
Thank you!
