thanks for demonstrating such excellant playing. I will show to my students to inspire them to practice, practice, practice. Great Job. The President's own Marine Band is the best place to be for a Euphonium player, so keep playing.
hey where did you get your euphonium? I'm looking for one just like it with the compensating valve on the side. I'm in college and need one like ASAP, lol just wondering the model and price. Also AWESOME playing. =]
@aSeEthan Yeah. I'm hoping that our school budget can afford them is all. :\ Our Kings have a decent enough tone, it's just not as round and dark as we're hoping.
Amazing. You've inspired me to go practice some more.
Out of curiosity-what is your opinion on the King 2280? It's the model of euphonium that my school currently uses, although we're hoping to buy some Yamahas like you have there. But just so I can get a second opinion. :3
yea i would say that you do have nearly good everything but, you just need to do some buzzing maybe... with only your lips and then on your mouth piece and then play on your horn.. that helps me with keeping from having air spasms with fast runs and what not. im just saying i know your very good and you probably do this already but just trying to help
@coolboyrevenge really i think hes amazing and im sure your good but i can play way lower than that and higher been playing for a year and a half im not saying anything im just suprised this guys amazin tho
Make sure you give the notes before you take a breath some more life instead of clipping them off a little. Your lung size might not be the best like mine, (i have about 2-3 liter lungs) but if you need to take something a little slower to give notes their full value, do it.
dude. . . sorry, how old are you in this video, b/c i've been playing since the 6th grade, and you tone is amazing. i'm soo jealous. if you continue in your music you'll do great things. keep it up, and MNctmdgn is right about your articulations, but that is still awesome.

The real question is where would he like to go for college for his options will be limitless by the time his sound and technique mature for high school graduation.
What town or school is blessed with this talented player? Look at the Beethoven Duets for Bassoon and Clarinet after finding a clarinetist or soprano sax player who can keep your pace and a paying audience should follow soon behind in support of this team especially if you are in an urban area where high art is appreciated.

I play the euphonium and it is tough. I haven't been playing very long so I have grade 1 test in december! u r amazing and I know how hard it is to get high notes out and to get the slurs! U r awesome. Do u have a name for ur euphonium? I called mine Tedd.
I just got this book(after a while of wanting it)and I site-read this exercise. It's a hell of a lot easier that it sounds like it would be(lol), but still amazing.
I did notice that you skipped measures 25 through 28, and just led measure 24 into measure 29 the way 28 is supposed to. Any reason for that? If you could the get the rest of the piece as well as you got it, you could easily tackle those skipped measures.
Eu gostava de saber quem tu és. Sou de Portugal gosto muito do teu som mas não encontro nada na internet com referência a ti. A única coisa que sei é que és o euphoniumD1 do youtube. Se estivesse interessado numa possível contratação não temos dados nenhuns a teu respeito. Arranja forma de criar uma página na Internet. Neste momento já vales muito.
Very well played I hate to sound like a broken record but do work on your attacks and a second thing. Try to change up your breathing watch for the phrasing something that a lot of Euphonium players don't think about is where they breath.You are breathing in all of the standard points but if you change it up then you might notice that you don't have to take as many breaths
You Cold Bro but just watch ya fingers. Holdem right because its the right way to play the horn. Its a bad habit to break but I promise if you hold them fingers right your sound will be alot better and your technacality will be excecuted alot more!
Way to go young man. I've played for many years and love to hear young people that love this great instrument. Nice playing. Keep working hard too. Best wishes!
quick question, how much would a mute 4 a euphonium cost? and what type would you need to make it sound like a bassoon? i'm thinking maybe a straight mute, i could be wrong, thanks! =P
awsome i play ephonium inband at school, we r about to have a festival, im stuck on a song called ''With valor and honor'' and another song called ''december sky'' but good job
I've played euph for about thirty years, and I'm envious of your sound. I notice, however, that your attacks (the way you begin your notes) have an explosive quality, as though you begin the sound by forcing air through your lips, as in a 'p' sound. A tongued attack (a soft 'd' rather than a 't') would be a better match to this music. You can also develop VERY quiet attacks by working on diaphragm control so you can start the air flow from your lungs precisely when you need to start the tone.
Do the softer attacks make it harder to tell if someone is playing this instrument? I've seen a few videos of this instrument and it's hard to tell if they are playing the instrument for real.
Riight! , My Music teacher Taught us how to use our diaphram more often, and we have to sit straight up and before we play, we take a deep breath, and we make a "P" sound.
well like the book says "legato studies".....you nailed it on everything except for the stuff everyone, including myself, has problems with. at the beginning and i think a little at the end after the fast triplets then you do that skpi up, just try to make the transition between notes smoother. other than that fantastic job, people are definitely learning from watching you
such a nice sound! wish i could play to this technical level, have a listen to me play ive put a video up of me in a tuba quintet thing let me know what you think :)
very good job. tone is nice and you have good posture with your fingers. However, breathing through your mouth and keeping a more erect standing stance will help maximize air intake. Make sure you practice those faster parts, the sextuplets, because they sound a little fuzzy. However in total, very nice job and can't wait to see you get better :D
Nice job overall. You are crunching some of the sextuplet sequences into the quarter notes. As mentioned below, slow the tempo down and work on evening out the runs. Gradually increase tempo on the met'. Also, as you get farther into the etude, don't allow breath fatigue to allow you to lose tempo when you take in air. Work on catch breaths to help this. Lastly, check your longer notes with a tuner. Maybe practice playing them in tune without the runs in between.
hey i play a euph too. i have a mouthpiece that has a smaller shank at the end that fits into the lead pipe. its 51D small, is there such thing as a 51D MEDIUM? thanx
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Imagine if a band has a rest for some solo , and then all of the musicians took a breathe through their lips. It would sound like a giant gasp. So if you breathe through your nose, it avoids that from happening. But again, what ever works for you works. If you give it a chance it will make you a better player.... Or you could always become short of breathe. But hey! What works for you works.... Until you collapse a lung.....
no dont breathe through your nose. you dont get near as much air as breathing through your mouth. just work on taking bigger breathes quitley. it actually doesnt take as long as everything else does to work on
Try taking a breath while using a "O" syllable... I play trombone and am in the choir as well and I've found if you combine the two breathing techniques (mass quantities and silent breath on an "O") it will actually give you more breath to use :D
You're supposed to breathe through your mouth... Musicians don't breathe through their nose, unless used for circular breathing or something. You can continue to breathe through your nose and continue to suck at giving advice. :)
um .. ididnt know that if it true i am going to try that im a trombone euphonium and tuba(in 7th grade playing for a year and 1/2) player personally i like trombone and tuba's better the euphonium is cool though!i stick with my lowbrass instrument lol!
Breathe in through your nose. It makes less sound when you breathe in, and once you get used to it, it's easier rather than opening your lips to take a breathe.
Breathing in through your nose also helps visually. Again with the lips. Other than that you did awesome!
I am not going against what you are saying. However, out of all the groups, bands, orchestras, soloist, and corps that I have seen and been apart of...I have never been told or seen someone told to breathe through their nose. The main reason is that you cannot get a deep full breath using this method. Check out the many videos on Breathing Excersises, I am not saying through-the-nose is a wrong method...but I do not believe it is the best. Especially on the euphonium.
im not criticizing you but you get a much better breath from using your mouth, it alows you to play longer between breaths and makes you have a nicer tone
amazing tone and vibrato from such a young player! But be more legato not so fast! Otherwise, excellent!!

Holy crap man, how old are you?! Some great sounds!
Here are my suggestions:
Find one of the top euphonium teachers. Right off the top of my head, Demondre Thurman or Brian Bowman would love to have you.
Find a backup plan. Euphonium doesn't get much work. Trust me. But still play the crap out of that horn!

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Imagine if a band has a rest for some solo , and then all of the musicians took a breathe through their lips. It would sound like a giant gasp. So if you breathe through your nose, it avoids that from happening. But again, what ever works for you works. If you give it a chance it will make you a better player.... Or you could always become short of breathe. But hey! What works for you works.... Until you collapse a lung.....

no dont breathe through your nose. you dont get near as much air as breathing through your mouth. just work on taking bigger breathes quitley. it actually doesnt take as long as everything else does to work on

Try taking a breath while using a "O" syllable... I play trombone and am in the choir as well and I've found if you combine the two breathing techniques (mass quantities and silent breath on an "O") it will actually give you more breath to use :D
Hope this helps

You're supposed to breathe through your mouth... Musicians don't breathe through their nose, unless used for circular breathing or something. You can continue to breathe through your nose and continue to suck at giving advice. :)

Breathe in through your nose. It makes less sound when you breathe in, and once you get used to it, it's easier rather than opening your lips to take a breathe.
Breathing in through your nose also helps visually. Again with the lips. Other than that you did awesome!

I am not going against what you are saying. However, out of all the groups, bands, orchestras, soloist, and corps that I have seen and been apart of...I have never been told or seen someone told to breathe through their nose. The main reason is that you cannot get a deep full breath using this method. Check out the many videos on Breathing Excersises, I am not saying through-the-nose is a wrong method...but I do not believe it is the best. Especially on the euphonium.

im not criticizing you but you get a much better breath from using your mouth, it alows you to play longer between breaths and makes you have a nicer tone
