Michael Dodd The Bluebells of Scotland

[trumpeternorthants]

easier on a flute than a Euphonium!

@foreverfluteplayer

[foreverfluteplayer]

out of tune(lower)..the octave is inaccurate..especially at the beginning.

[throwedmayne]

[nightlord47]

[Slowmo118]

[littledrewboo]

[jayelaurenrpattz4eva]

[guthoriantony]

[rotunda57]

Man, that guy's good!

[lairdylairdy]

is he slurring the vivace?  not to say i don't think this is freakin epic, but just curious. it may just be my crappy laptop speakers

[TheSpecial41]

@lairdylairdy no he isnt..... this guy play like hell.. oh god that vivace is "vivace x2" awesome

[lairdylairdy]

@TheSpecial41 well hell yeah then!!! X)

[TheEuphman]

Fantastic Playing... Michael Dodd is a terrific player...however i'm not a huge fan of some of the articulations at the beginning...but either way an absolutely amazing performance :)

[lowbrass100]

is he playing on a sterling

[olliea123]

@lowbrass100 he was on his prestige when he did this, he's the geneva endorsee now :)

[brisbanerail]

too fast...

[nanoking114]

@brisbanerail No it isn't I have the music to this. Perfect tempo

[brisbanerail]

@nanoking114 so do I. It's too quick. The notes are melding together at the beginning.

[tubataylor1]

This guys the definition of amazing :D

[beeevers]

he taught me to play the trumpet at school, a great player and a great teacher!

[zhumenglou]

yeah, he's a great euphonium player, i really wanna learn how he did it? hope someone teach me how to be a good euphonium player, please, i wanna be like him someday, but im not a good player...

[nanoking114]

@zhumenglou I'm in 8th grade and am learning this. It's acually really fun. And euphonium is a really easy instrument to learn once you get all the lip work done. One thing my band director did when i was in 6th grade was had all brass players walk aroung school buzzing into the mouth piece. Another thing that helps is before playing any music do the mental work. send me a message for more tips

[mochojoe]

@nanoking114 dude if ur learnin this at that age you must be a amazing player post the vid im in ninth grade and i have the music but i cant touch the 2nd var lol got the first page though

[bandgeek630]

@mochojoe I was a senior in high school when I played this and I still can't play it right.

[TheAppDeveloper]

@bandgeek630 Hey buddy. The fact that you can play it at all is beyond me. I'm in currently in 8th grade and learning it, but man this is a pretty challenging piece.

[TheAppDeveloper]

@nanoking114 Awesome! I'm in the same position as you!

[lowbrass100]

@zhumenglou have you tried getting lessons

[x1strengthx]

he teaches brass at my school :) he's getting me grade 6 trom at the moment, he's amazing!

[beastmode143]

his tone is so relaxed. even at the high ranges. i wish i could do that

[fernandocombr]

wow...

....that's all!!!!

[CobaltOverTexas]

im more impressed with his lip flexibility and tone than his finger speed. his flexibility is insaneeeeeeeeee.

[jingleram]

He's the balls!

[protzo]

I agree, what a man. I bet his students are good too!
