Binary Sunset: An Octave Higher (Star Wars Trombone Cover)

[@showerthoughts1469]

Fellow trombone player. I tried this in high school. I gave myself a nosebleed.

[@Elevate-music1]

omg were you alright 😅

[@showerthoughts1469]

@@Elevate-music1 physically I was fine but my giant of a band teacher was NOT happy. He would have continued to yell at me if I wasn't "a walking bio hazard". So he threw a tissue box at me and sent me to the nurse.

@@showerthoughts1469 Thats funny

Your tone on that high G is better than mine and i play it on horn 💀💀

[@Elevate-music1]

thanks😅

[@arjunsom2392]

To be fair it is a high D6 on horn which is nasty to hit

@arjunsom2392 yea i hate playing anything above the top space (treble clef) G, concert C5

[@jonathansape2365]

I can’t even begin to describe to you how much I love this

[@Elevate-music1]

thank you ❤

[@kiltedpatriotatheart]

I love it how the note was red, but you still hit it! 😁

[@Elevate-music1]

I wrote the music on flat.io. If you click on the note then it plays the note. The funny thing is that the note (G5) is so high that the program doesn’t even play it if you click on it lol

[@kiltedpatriotatheart]

@@Elevate-music1 I use flat too! Can we follow each other? What's your username?

Good luck :)

Thats enough playing for a bit 😅 Also if anyone has video suggestions please let me know

i’m a flute player who tried out trombone for 4 days during my community’s band camp and A.) i can’t even read some of these notes, and B.) when i tried trombone, i couldn’t even make it to that first 4th position G 💀💀 what a godly embouchure.

[@Elevate-music1]

Tysm, glad to see a woodwind player trying out the brass lol. I have been learning oboe and am doing well (but making reeds is a whole other problem). I am glad you tried trombone!

[@SwagRum76_]

This sounds kinda bad and I love it! Keep up the good work!

[@thomasdeglon4203]

honestly, either work your high notes or just quit playing trombone

[@Elloliott]

Fun fact: it’s physically impossible for a flute to play this if it was directly transposed to treble clef Assuming I’m thinking correctly, there’s a note that’s too low

[@Elevate-music1]

Transpose another octave up then :)

[@toxicfire72]

Bro needs 2 clefs to play this

[@Elevate-music1]

[@mr.underestimated7510]

If you can keep your notes big and blow through them to make them a little cleaner and still be able to hit that high note then that would be the perfect video

[@Elevate-music1]

Yeah I have been working on air support. Practice makes better! Thank you for the support

[@mr.underestimated7510]

No problem

[@flamingmoose1479]

Absolutely earned that sub, keep up the good work my guy! I’m gonna have to get my old tenor out now lol.

[@Elevate-music1]

Thank you so much for the support! Definitely get the tenor out and start playing again, it’s never too late to get back into it!

[@dan0907]

Last week I was playing som high notes and it was about an octave higher then this highest note😆

[@Elevate-music1]

I mean at that point it’s just squeaking…can you play a scale in only 1st position?

[@dan0907]

@@Elevate-music1 yes, very fun to do tbh

[@Nynodon]

didn't Trombone Timo do this may your chops rest tho that's insane range

[@Elevate-music1]

He did but that was on an alto! Im playing on a tenor!!!

[@neonx6568]

Full recording of "Got A Match?" by Chick Corea. I want an improvised solo too... and the whole thing at the original tempo or close to it. On trombone please

[@Elevate-music1]

Let’s see- I haven’t always been good at improv but I will let you know if it works out

[@silyex7742]

bro idk how u can hit that high i’ve been playing for like almost 4 years and the highest note i can hit confidently is high C

[@Elevate-music1]

I have been playing for 5! Range comes with practice and practice comes with time

[@aviation320-dabpa]

Incredible. I am done at Bb', on good days I reach b' and maybe c''. Any tips on how to get higher? And I am on alto already lol

[@Elevate-music1]

You can try adjusting your mouth to be lower on the mouthpiece. I also try to imagine to blow air slightly more downward as I get higher and higher. Good luck!

[@aviation320-dabpa]

[@Elevate-music1]

You can’t say that when I already have 10 likes :(

[@braydenmanning8075]

I recognize your sound as something I once had an issue with. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like you are separating the air between notes with your throat rather than your tongue. Your tongue should be making the movement of saying “ta” when you start each note

[@Elevate-music1]

@@braydenmanning8075 I think thats just the editing but I do have trouble with having a good tone. I recently have been playing more long tones to trying to get a rounder & fuller sound.

[@kiltedpatriotatheart]

Well done, from another trombone player. How long have you been playing? How old are you?

[@Elevate-music1]

I am turning 15 this summer and have been playing trombone for around 4-5 years (but I didn’t practice much during the pandemic lol)

@@Elevate-music1 Thanks. You've been at it for a while yourself. I've always wondered about making trombone videos like this, but what camera and or mic do you use? Was it expensive?

[@georgemcgeorgester]

i felt this pain personally

[@rcmusicpro]

Great, now do it down an octave

[@jerryfloofbottom]

i can play up to a double Bb with good tone, maybe a C, but above that is impossible. how can you do it so well?

[@Elevate-music1]

I try to focus my airstream sharply downward for the really high notes while pushing a lot of air through

[@Zac_67]

Octave higher!

[@tomnicbl367]

Please don't make it a habit to play high. As a tuba player i can confidently tell you that playing long and low notes is the best way to improve the way you sound. Playing really high is probably the least important part of playing any low brass instrument.

[@Elevate-music1]

thanks for the advice

[@adnjazz]

i think you can go one more octave higher

[@Elevate-music1]

you think so?

[@kkhandy950]

now all you have to do is to do it in one take :D

[@Elevate-music1]

Nailing that high G along with everything else would be a miracle

[@L4nd0TheM4nd0]

The note was good, check your tuning tho

[@Elevate-music1]

yeah- it could be better

Yo if you work on your tone a bit, you’ll be a beast.
