The bari sax player closing his ears ,lol

Beautiful and amazing. Thanks for posting.

Why is are the saxes playing in the freaking heavens 1000 feet above the ground it’s kinda cool 😭

Wow,Will a full version be coming soon?

Awesome angle, awesome playing, and such an awesome recording!

this is so tuff

First

That sounds really amazing!

You know it’s a flex when even the teacher doesn’t have much things to correct you on 🔥

OMG, THOSE ALTISSIMO NOTES ARE SO CLEAN!!!

The only thing better than this excerpt are Ethan Ashley’s daily uploads 🔥🔥🔥

Crazy. Is that where you play from the back of the hall?

😮

🔥

Pure sound. Great vibrato man 🤙

What is the name of this song?

This came up immediately after I watched Dr. Page's clip from the Coriglian. YT can be cruel at times.

As a trumpet player of seven years here, the most important part of playing a trumpet is having fun. Learn the basics and get it to muscle memory, but never lose sight of how fun it is to play an instrument, especially how fun the trumpet is. By the way, when you are playing on the mouthpiece, try to eliminate all pressure from your playing (don't pull the instrument into your mouth). It shouldn't hurt after a while, you only should feel tired. Also, don't use the pinky ring for your right hand. This makes it harder to use your third finger quickly and comfortably. and when pressing down the valves, form your hand into a C shape (if you relax your hand, it will form this shape naturally). and when putting the mouthpiece on your face, try t put it on 50-50, that is half on your upper lip and half on the bottom lip.

Could you please talk about Houston Underground Saxophone Contest in your next video 🙏🙏

bro. I don't play trumpet. but that progress is incredible. your sound is amazing

Ayo my friend is learning this for his college audition

I play mostly bari and alto sax, flute, and I'm learning trumpet.

I've been playing the trumpet for a little more than 2 years, and let me just say: amazing progress for just 7 days.

Ridiculously good tone for just one week of playing. I started playing trombone on exactly January 15th 2024, to which many people have stated that I've progressed much faster than the average person. Over the time though, I've experimented with many different embouchures and believed to have found the "correct" embouchure that not only can work with every brass instrument, but is the embouchure that many professionals use. Though even I'd take what I say with the smallest lightbulb that exist in this world because I haven't even been playing for a year. But I find it very interesting how you were able to achieve such good tone in just 7 days, while there are 6th graders that can't even make a sound in the same time frame. Is it because you were primarily focused on your embouchure? Maybe the skills from playing saxophone carry over? I had my brother try out the trumpet after I taught him the "correct" embouchure on just 10 minutes of playing, and he sounded very good and clear. Now of course it wasn't consistent, but it wasn't muddy and airy either. This might be something I need to look into. But yeah... sorry for the rant 😅. This video just reinforced my interest into the subject of brass pedagogy and how we're teaching beginners. (As far as advice is concerned, it appears you've got the embouchure nailed down. I'd just say ensure that your chin is flat and your bottom lip it against your bottom teeth, not above but against. And ensure that your mouth cavity and throat is open as with any other wind instrument. The ultimate goal you want to achieve is making sure you can connect your low register to your high register by moving only what's inside the mouthpiece.)

I am also doing both sax and trumpet too . Trumpet is much harder to start with .

Join the 180 cult

And great work for just 7 days!

I'm by no means a brass expert, but I've always found euphonium and baritone horn to be the easiest brass instruments to play, by far. The embouchure for those is so much easier to me than trumpet, but they don't require nearly the volume of air of a tuba.

Goofy ahh thumbnail

AP3 "Welp, that's definitely not it" My thoughts exactly, lol. I've been so scared to move away from my Concept 'cause it's SOOOO good!!!... (and because I'm broke/poor and I've found what works, lol)

Sounds good. Have you tried applying the air speed you use for altissimo on the sax to the trumpet? They are both just playing over tones.

Great video! I am currently in the search for a new mouthpiece as an intermediate player who is currently playing on a yamaha 4c for alto with 2.25 légère signature! I am currently looking into the s80 c*, and was wondering what reed strength would you find most appropriate? Would also love other mouthpiece suggestions, thank you!

what legere would you recommend for tenor? I’m playing on a Vandoren Tl4 with blue box 3s but they’re mega inconsistent from reed to reed

Figure out how to adjust cane reeds, and you will never be in this situation for the rest of your life. Buying a mouthpiece to suit a synthetic reed seems like the height of idiocy to me.

Sounds great! I'd love to know, where can I buy the sheet music?

Are you using your new set up?

Have you ever thought about getting your concept altered and make it more resistant?

I really felt the I skipped a line comment…

Those low Cs are beautiful

FIRST

Sounds beautiful dude 🔥

Ive been playing an s90 180 for almost 3 years I love its sound and the way it plays 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Would you have taken the Delangle over the 180 if there was no price difference? I liked the resistance of the Delangle, but both seemed like great choices!

It is crazy to me as big as Dallas is you have to go to Denton and Waco for quality sax stuff and repair.

Choosing new mouth pieces and horns is so impossible!

Why don’t you just use cane reeds?
