Thanks for this - very helpful.

This is great, Alex! Love the rich harmonies!

You did fabulous and I hope that you got an A in your brass class. I hope that you stuck with playing the trumpet because you are a natural at it. Trumpet will immensely help your singing voice as well. I also play trumpet and sing. I love it. Best of luck to you on your musical endeavors. Well done 👍

I've only just seen the show and the song, especially Lorna's version, is absolutely one of the best pieces of film music I've heard in a long time. Those harmonies, the soul choir, the modulations just give me chills everytime. Coupled with some epic storytelling and great characters, Agatha is in my opinion one of the best Marvel shows I've ever seen.

3:37 this tune sounds familiar

I’m a complete beginner, and your videos are like a ray of light to me. Please keep uploading more videos. Thank you so much. Greetings from Korea!

That part from hadestown is what made me start learning!

love this instrument just learn notes and different songs thats honestly how I do it

This version is awesome. Now I like the song.

5:55 that is not a tuning slide it’s just called slide

Thanks for the introduction. I have a grandson who has asked for a stylaphone for his birthday.

Love it Alex.

I'm no musician (can play a bit by ear, but never learned), but I love watching these videos.

Try sax!

thank youuu for this!

I play: Bass, double and fretless electric. Hammond organ Some guitar Chromatic harmonica I bought a Cgriff chromatic accordion march 2024. The Cgriff RH is like a totally new instrument in addition stradela bass. It is so clever but the logic is different compared piano keyboard. But it is smarter and symetrical. I took a couple of hours nd 10 months to get to a level where dared to take it to jazz jam and play Cjam blues and not totally suck. Just suck…. I am 65 btw. You can teach old dogs new tricks.

Hey, Trombone player here. I would consider buying a music stand

I didn’t think that playing the accordion would add points, but after seeing this i’m starting to rethink that! 11/10!

Nice job but too fast. Slowed the play back speed to 0.9 and its better

Nice progress man, I started as a child and never actually realized that it is difficult to learn. Props for getting the basics down, but i have to say lessons are the key to master any instrument including the trombone. If you really want to have some progressive songs to play try 40 progressive etudes from Sigmund Hering its an amazing book which starts easy. At the end you will have a grear starting point for playing a lot of songs!

My neighbor’s son plays trombone, I hear his playing all the time, and I think he has been playing for several months now, but based on how much I hear him playing: You are definitely picking up on it faster than he is.

YOOO! I did that as a solo in 7th grade!!! (duolingo is coming)

I have on but o can't control my daw with the keyboard 🎹 o don't know why

Really packin in the melancholy

You're very talented! could you maybe play binks brew?

I was already into this song before I found the time to watch the show, but the stuff they did with the song in lore of the show is magical. From Nicholas singing it for fun, to Agatha exploiting it for her witch-baiting evil to Billy manifesting it. A great story telling idea that they also managed to get somebody to write an awesome song to serve.

ur just too talented smh🙄

I'm a beginner drummer. My timing sucks. I'm scared to learn triplets.

2:20 imagine the disgust on his face when he learns about the tuba

Too bad you found a teacher that required you to BUZZ a mouthpiece first. That is the WORST approach. Most trumpet teaching is compulsory buzzing nonsense. Pathetic,

spotify?

Love this!

Bravo!!

Really well thought out and presented.

🎉The first male version I’ve found that actually matches the amazing harmonies present in the original, with a glorious range of voices - congratulations mate. 🎉

Concentrate a bit on eliminating that breathy sound to your tone. I was able to make progress on that by using lip tension. Play like you have a straw between your lips and you're squeezing down on the straw. But (and this is important) keep your jaw open. Leave space between the teeth on your upper and lower jaw. Not only will you get a less breathy tone, but it'll take less air and you'll be able to play longer notes. The air that goes in to that breathy sound is all lost air. Don't confuse the lip pressure with higher notes, you can get higher notes with air speed (arch the back of the tongue) and vibrating a smaller section of the middle of your lips. Note: I'm only 3 months in to re learning to play after a 30 year hiatus and I was only a beginner when I quit in the 90s. So take this advice with a grain of salt.

Don't smear. Well yes, that's hard. Wish you good luck.

I had a sleepless night and found this video. It was very funny, thank you dear colleague!

loveee this

What happens when he gets to a tuba

"her four other witch friends"... Yeah, that's one way to describe the situation^^

i got the bowie stylophone and is easy to play!

As a college teacher, I can appreciate a sensible and performance-based explanation like the one here. Excellent synopsis.

great piece at the end dude

w mr poole moment

watching this because i miss my trumpet (i got rid of it 4 years ago)

i am a music education major and local musician, this was so awesome to see that you still get to gig even though you are a choir director! i loved this vlog, please keep making more!
