again i need to apologize here. this is a very good recording. there are small things that i believe after all my practicing that i've finally gotten a little better. the only thing i need real work on is my slur 2 tongue 2. my dynamics, tone, and tempo edge this one out a little bit. im gonna put videos up this week, and you'll see what i mean.
ahh i cant wait to critique. This is RON WILKINS KID professor of trombone at UTSA and principal trombone of the MID TEXAS SYMPHONY. You are not either and I HIGHLY DOUBT your tone clarity matches his, especially from your D minor etude which has been removed. Good thing too, i was going to show my roommates here at UNT and let them them criticize your poor playing.
if i didnt say in that comment up there, my ego is gone. and again it was probably the video that took away from his tone. idk. it might be my computer speakers. i know my tone probably doesnt beat his in real life. my video will be up tomorrow night. and i do wait to hear the criticism, i just hope its not so harsh that i cant learn from it. (which is why im going to tech)
the more i think about this. the dumber i feel. of course he is better than me. of course i didnt know he was a trombone professor. maybe thats what got it in my head. im sorry. of course he is better than me. i just want to see how i do on here. ya know?
its fine dude, as long as you lose the cockiness. i never made state dude. 1 chair from area EVERY YEAR. the top 6 were in my grade and 4 of them were all staters. every fucking year, since i was a freshman. so i was cocky in middle school. and then those 6 jerks made me lose the cockiness. im doing you a favor dude.
and i used to be from a powerhouse of marching band
yeah i have lost a lot of the cockiness i had. the problem i think that happened was everyone took my comments as cockiness, and they really weren't aimed that way. im trying to give myself the confidence im gonna need for saturday to make state. i know i can do it, now i just have to prove to everyone else that i can. i am much better than the Dm showed. and ill prove it in a non cocky way. ill put a video up sometime this week, i would have done it today, but i overpracticed. so watch for it.
Well honestly if I would've only seen this video I would've thought he was good but nothing special, then again this is only a demo.However, if you listen to his cd A Tribute to the Masters, you'll be blown away!!!! His 'Round Midnight track is probably my favorite recording period!
I agree but you also have to realize all of the "I compete in texas" people are truly masters at their instruments, most teaching prestigious programs in colleges. I am sure most did not spend months practicing before recording such as everyone trying out for all-state did ;)
This man is Ron Wilkins. I seriously doubt, no I know for a fact that there is NO high school trombonist that can play as good as him. But the $45.00 to sign up to the sight is kinda pricey.
omg i am going to post a video of me playing this shit. you are in a crappy region with no trombone talent. so please dude POST A VIDEO, i am for sure. no im challenging you
aye aye captain. i realize ive made a bad name for myself on youtube. and i apologize for that. i was being honest, me and my director think i sound better now.. but ill see what yall think. btw. telling me i suck isnt very constructive. haha.
damn he can move that slide prettly quik!
