Congrats on making state 🥳 i was there at the audition when i saw you

[@peterpham6288]

This is honestly my favorite version on KZbin... I like it slightly better than Jean-Denis Michat's original one, but probably just cause the mic placement

[@michaelperkins1515]

Well executed

You’re raw

[@adrianthelord1598]

How long does it take you to learn an etude and how do you practice it. I am eager to know.

[@anthonymacias5334]

An etude like this takes me about a week to learn to tempo. For practice I usually take the etude to half tempo or slower and focus on musicality and technique and slowly speed it up while maintaining quality. I will also isolate passages that give me trouble and break those down.

[@0ih650]

@@anthonymacias5334 ONE WEEK? I think you are just gifted these took me very long to learn 😂❤

[@aidenfoster766]

Do you remember me from the pearland game

[@anthonymacias5334]

Yup!

[@ThomasW280]

What do you do to play this musically? I have a lot of trouble playing quiet and still having sound come out/playing loud with good tone

[@anthonymacias5334]

This is something that I think takes a lot of time and practice. I would suggest to listen to many different players and obviously recordings of the piece ur trying to play. Also to help with dynamics maybe do slow crescendos and decrescendos in time while aiming to keep fast air, you shouldn’t have to adjust your embouchure, only voicing maybe to play soft and in tune.

[@vincentn337]

circular breathing?!

[@anthonymacias5334]

The audition is around December 5th.

[@dr.triangle773]

Jeez I’ve been practicing this for like 2 weeks and I’m barely half way through got any tips?

[@anthonymacias5334]

I would listen to recordings, play in slow chunks, and take reps.

[@dr.triangle773]

I love you

[@zeyadawad7181]

Dawg 💀💀💀

[@Chris-eg9sv]

any way to just feel smoother playing this overall

[@anthonymacias5334]

I would make sure to have a consistent breathing plan to practice and make sure that you are taking in a maximum amount of air before you play. Also maybe play small chunks and take reps to make passages feel more comfortable.

[@alexialewis4538]

Oooomg what state are you in. Im trying out this year too lolol

[@ClarinetEnthusiast]

TEMA, also known as Texas.

[@darthcubersax24]
