This is called “air playing” most the time they do this before they play the actually song, it’s a way to practice (slide positions, value combinations, etc.) without making any sound.

@@krisvyxxey’re moving fingers. As @strawlover mentioned earlier, this is called air playing. Air playing allows individuals to look at there sheet music one last time before having to perform. Additionally, it makes you aware of any broken keys on an instrument. It also benefits the director allowing them to practice conducting and such and feel it out before they perform. (No. directors don’t just hand out music and suddenly conduct the song without practicing.) Air playing is an effective form to prepare the band before playing at a concert regardless how much they practiced. Even top bands in the world do this. I can reassure that air playing isn’t “doing nothing”.
@op9713 Жыл бұрын
@@krisvyxxI’d also like to correct your theory of why people warm up in sports. People in football and other sports warm-up before each game because it is deemed as unhealthy to suddenly put your body through an entire fitness workout without any proper introduction prior to the game. It also lowers performance skills. It’s kind of like waking up from a long nap and expected to do a math test the very second you wake up. This can be used as an example to why bands warm-up. You don’t just go out playing songs without preparing your embouchure, practicing fingers (especially for a middle school band) and preparing to produce the necessary air required to put out a decent tone quality.

@@krisvyxx Lets face it they probably did not do this all night. It was probably just a joke by the videos creator but if not there is a few different things this could be. 1 A way to warm up. Just like how bands need to warm up with scales (since you probably dont know they do that so you can know early if you need to fix a reed, oil a valve, or tune) not playing is a technique used when you want to mark through the music without playing it. Which brings me to option 2. This could be their MPA or an assessment. A part of MPA is sight reading. Meaning you have to play a piece you have never seen before. The "rules" are you get 3-5 minutes to practice the piece without making noise through the instrument. So you go through the song once fingering the instrument and counting the measure or what ever your director taught you to do before playing the entire song hoping to god it goes well. hope this shuts your arguement down :)
@op9713 Жыл бұрын
@@krisvyxx Orchestra… makes sense. I want to be clear when I say that band and orchestra simply don’t compare in terms of warm-up. If a middle school student instrument is broken just minutes before practice for whatever reason it isn’t necessarily anyone fault. Its not the director nor the students fault and band instruments having issues/breaking just hours or minutes before a performance is actually much more common that you appear to think it is. Happened to me once at all-state and was devastated lol. Now about this teachers warm-up mechanisms… Annoying? Maybe. Tedious? Perhaps. But each director has different ways to prepare there students to have the best performance possible. Too you this may seem absurd but I feel as though it isn’t really a bad idea for beginner musicians. It gives them one last chance of looking at music and preparing before playing. The pervious reference to sports was referring to warm-ups by the band that includes breathing exercises, lip slurs, etc. The point of this reference was to show that football and band are similar and their warm-up behaviours can be compared. I’m also going to be honest. There really is no reason for you as an orchestra player to be debating about what’s necessary and unnecessary for a band too do. Your not in band and you certainly don’t play a wind instrument. Different techniques are needed to play such as great breathing, embouchure, and goodness especially for trombones slide positioning. In fact, one of the very few things an Ochestra and a band both have in common during warm-up is the process of tuning. It’s kept at that. So please like- keep an open-mind. I understand that you want to be heard but you have zero experience in being in a band. you’re giving input on wind instrument warm-ups but yet you haven’t been in a band OR played a wind instrument. C’mon man.

@AngeliqueT.M10 ай бұрын
There can be several theories for this. It could be John Cage's "4'33" which is complete silence. It is originally a piano piece, but could be used for ensembles.. Another theory is that they are showing the audience/parents how they practice by air playing. The focus is on the slide and finger position as well as quietly tapping the rhythm (percussion) on time. Educators are to encourage to show the hard work by sometimes showing how students sight read or practice and then introduce the concert rep they did all semester. Perhaps this is what happened?
