Don’t fall in to this trap as a trumpet player! #trumpet #marchingband #brass #musician #band

with the high angle he really hit the 🗿

I do that all the time as well as a trumpet

"Where do you put your mouthpiece" on your mouth probably

The bucees t-shirt

Very true point 🎺

That’s how I felt too, some days I would be getting ready in band class and I would be overthinking where I would want my mouthpiece to sit, then I reminded myself that I just needed to shut my brain off and do what felt natural, that’s how I felt I could play more naturally and not forced lol

I went to a jazz summer camp and got to take sectionals with a jazz trumpet professor from the University of Louisiana and he talked about this kind of thing a lot. Not overthinking and just kind of playing, letting your air and body naturally adjust as you sing through the horn, it was really good stuff.

Just don't play in the red that'll injure you

I was just wondering how long have you been playing for. I have played for 4 years but still can't hit high notes. You sound really good btw.

one octave down Hummel is fire 🔥🔥

Where it is comfortable for me isn't 90 degrees though which is kind of important for marching

Thank you for this tip about not overthinking. BTW, your tip about keeping an O shape while ascending in the register has been very helpful. Thank you very much.

luv ur vids

I play a little to my right for some reason. Always have. I have trouble playing with the mouthpiece dead center.

Im a flute player but this is so applicable to flute specially since we don't have a mouth piece great content keep it up

True

Bang bahasa Indonesia aja 🤣

As a tubist, I dont really have this problem. I do find it easier to play higher if I really push my lips into the mouthpiece and then move away a little to play low. Normally works for me

He had us in the first half- 💀💀💀

I attempted to play trombone once(it didn't go well...). I am a woodwind player(clarinet and tenor sax), so brass is like a whole different multiverse for me

The only time I actually forced myself to do an embouchure change was when the mouthpiece was so low on my lips that my top lip would slide out of the cup. Now it is pretty much centered and my consistency, tone, and endurance quickly became much better

Not the Vsauce music 💀

He's such a band kid 🙄🙄
(me too gang)

This is what im saying. People tell me that i tilt my head and im not learning the professional way, but its because i have a stronger embrasure the way i turn my head, and i can TELL when im able to hit certain notes, and i tend to have way less moisture on my lips, because i cant play with moist lips. I have to wipe my lips off and leave them kind of moist, to finally get the sound i want.

he looks like scout from tf2

This is crazy since I make the same sound you make when angling the horn down, I can only play with the horn tilted up

Question for all you brass players. I talked to a guy year's ago at a Drum Corp show. He said he never marched because that style playing will ruin your playing. Is that true?

Me in drumline: 😐

that’s vsauce’ background music

THE MIDDLE REFERENCE!!! YES!!!

genuinely thought you were scout from tf2 for a second

Buc-cees

With tuba you just put your whole ass mouth in it

My lessons teacher brought up an interesting angle to this

We are in the modern age, these instruments have decades to centuries of innovation behind them, and even the young instruments had the huge headstart of technology to help improve them faster

Because of this, the biggest key is comfort, if you are feeling awkward/uncomfortable while playing, 90% you're doing something wrong

Your mouthpiece placement is good


Or is it... 🤔

THE BELL IS A DRAGON-

Hey uhh how can you help with a tuba mouth peice

Hey are you from Texas ??lol

For real ! That's how it works for me !

Thank you so much bro 🙏🎺

thanks i needed help

I did offset like he did on my trombone and it sounded like a french horn somehow

As a tuba player it didn’t really matter the mouthpiece pretty much covers your mouth

Good advice. Subbed.

i love when trombones stop playing and they look like they did the kylie jenner lip challenge

The vsauce theme 💀

As a tuba player, the mouth piece is so big that it swallows your lips. Most of us play right in the center because it’s uncomfortable otherwise.

As a bass trombone, I always have it centered horizontally. Vertical alignment is near the center in a comfortable spot for tone quality, but can be lowered to extend range in both directions

When I first began trumpet, I had a terrible habit of keeping the bell facing straight, however when I eventually got braces I found that knowing how to play like that help immensely, I did look quite silly tho
