How to Play a Baritone Horn : Parts of Baritone Horn

[hyzercreek]

The tuning slide he pulled back didnt correspond with any of the valves. Those are the other 3 tuning slides. He pulled the one for the whole instrument. Duh. So all you people who say he pressed the wrong valve are dumb

[Towersofc4]

mine is a 4-valved. i luff itsh.

[chillybean72]

mine bellfront



[mrmadabrass]

@MrSURESHOT117 that is true i play tuba with my friend who plays euphonium and ive played his

[BradyHazy]

Mine is a 3 valved and its a marching one which looks almost like a trumpet but heavy and really big

[JudaeaLovesDogs]

i play baritone. (:

[nickdragon115]

@JudaeaLovesDogs me too!



[somebum123456]

@JudaeaLovesDogs so do i . wait is urs 4 valved or 3 valved?

[himynameisbillify]

I play tuba

[hdmandude244]

@OTooleBoy213

then explain my 3 valved euphonium...

euphoniums are bigger

[hdmandude244]

trombone has a lighter sound, and you have to blow harder

but baritone and euphonium are essentially the same

[Cidwithey]

And fTHATS A EUPHONIUM!!!

[Cidwithey]

And for all u retards trombone baritone and euphonium all sound the same when u play them...!

[Cidwithey]

Trombone,baritone,euphonium!he­hheh they all sound the same!

[barronbears74]

The 4th valve makes it lower on a baritone

[XxLostInTheRainbowxX]

i play baritone at my school. there is the one i use every day which has four valves, but we only use the three. and then the marching one which only has three valves

[Wilxtinarg86]

what's the difference between the baritone horn and euphonium? thank you!

[OTooleBoy213]

Baritone= 3 valves

Euphonuim= 4 Valves

[lonelyboy123able]

thats actually a parade baritone

[awesomeabby013]

this is gonna suck, im switching from trumpet to baritone and that looks really big to hold....im so short :(

[kyleguyhighspeed]

@awesomeabby013 It's not bad. It sits in your lap. Since your going from a smaller mouthpiece to a bigger one that also makes it a little easier. I prefer Euphonium over trumpet. Trumpets hurt my lips and I feel like I'll break it with my hands. Good luck.

[awesomeabby013]

@kyleguyhighspeed

yeah i've been playing it for like a week and a half now, it's not so bad but im still getting used to trying to carry it and hold it the right way. I fell over with it the other day lol

[xxkaboo562xx]

@awesomeabby013 lol im short and i play baritone. its pretty easy to play it.in my opinion baritone is better than the trumpet

[swaggedoutkid74]

baritone all day

[swaggedoutkid74]

baritone all day

[coleybenton]

mine is bigger but has 3 keys also

[RedApe77]

@MrFartonu thn obveously, thats not a baritone :D

[MrFartonu]

that is sooo small i play one and mine is bigger and mine has 4 keys not three

[guitaristave110]

yea that is definatley a euphonium

[lilgoalieman]

Is that your great grandpas barritone?

[imtay22]

it was slightly flatter...

[13Djvwood]

@MrSURESHOT117 the sound goes back to the person everyone has a different tone. check out steven meads site go to articles and read the 2006 article. I should know the difference between the baritone and the euphonium I have been playing both for almost 4 years. if you watch the video you can tell the guy has not learned properly because when pulling the valves out you are suppose to press the key that is connected to the valves.

[stevenhamlin1000]

@MrSURESHOT117 it's not teaching if the infomation is compete bullshit

it's a euphonium cause it's conical it sounds like a baritone cause quite frankly this guy sucks

[13Djvwood]

@MrSURESHOT117 the difference between baritone and euphonium is conical and cylintrical tubing. what it sounds like goes to how good he is. it is actually a euphonium

[briadrew32]

thanks for helping me play i think this can help my sisther too i have a brass baritone

[fataxe1]

thats a british euphonium you jack ass, not a baritone

[OldChikity]

expert village should be reported fir fake advertising these people are not experts there amatuers. their description doesnt even match the videos

[scrimegirl]

mine in band look way diffrent then that im in 7th grade band

[stewkingjr]

Funny, i always thought the slides were to raise and lower the pitch of the instrument, not raise and lower the tone. And i had no idea that pulling the slide out allowed more air to pass through. But, hey, i'm no "expert"...

[stevenhamlin1000]

why is this called expert village most aren't experts just people who don't know what they're doing

in fact this guy doesn't know that you should always press a valve down & press the right valve when moving your tuning slides

also that's a euphonium

expert village my ass

[SoixXxioZ]

@stevenhamlin1000 Well, your right about the valve thing, but the Euphonium is also known as the Baritone, but its more official name is the Euphonium

[stevenhamlin1000]

@SoixXxioZ they are different things at least in england i tend to be too specific sometimes i call my trombone a tenor trombone & stuff like that

[Jrv2005]

Thanks for showing us how to badly play the Baritone Horn on a Euphonium.

This video will really help all those Baritone Horn players in Europe and Japan, which are the ONLY places on the planet where true Baritone Horn's are played regularly.

If you don't even know what instrument your playing, how do you expect to teach people?

[brickofman]

looks similar to my old baritone only mine was brand new out of box and gold

[TheJarBear808]

oh sht when i was in band i played with the valves dammit

[Joey10Thompson10]

its called a damn euphonium...dont teach people and when you push your 1st valve slide in you might wanna hold the 1st valve in, not the second

[MatiBtodo14]

hey can somone PLEASE send me the scale charts to play this cause i know bass piano and guitar but only know th Bb scale on this instrument

any help will be appreciated :)

[fouurnall]

my band needs another baritone..im a trumpeter now..i said i would switch to baritone..we oinly have 1 baritone now. how hard is it???

[baritonegirl622]

@fouurnall

I was a trumpet player in 6th grade, & after my band concert my 6th grade year, my band director switched me over to baritone. Now, I'm a freshman in highschool, first chair, I'm also the only girl in low brass & I LOVE it. The switch i worth it. The baritone is actually easier than the trumpet because the mouthpiece is bigger. To start out, i'd buy a 12 c cup.

Good luck! :)

[Jennnnna35]

@fouurnall its not hard at all once u get the fingerings down, its pretty fun.

[Futuramapwnsall]

@fouurnall its just uncommon and gets a lot of stupid solos. So only join if you like to solo nonstop

[partyallnight132]

tonatic? seriously and i play the baritone yayay and great instruction on the slides i guess

[mochojoe]

you dont no anything about baritone or so it seems i winced every time u pulled out a slide because u did not push the correct valve when u pushed it back in expertvillage has lowered the bar for this man and i am a freshman in high school and i no not to do that

[kyuubisharinan3296]

i played this is junior high brings back memorys i was the best in my class...good times good times

[nayrure02]

q bien

[nayrure02]

good lesson

[PsychoLegoBrick]

i play a baritone but it is not my baritone it is my schools baritone.

[SharkeyTV]

i play baritone and i made it to bcmea

[licasis]

I getting a new baritone. If anyone sees this comment, Does B.C mean you play in the key of C and T.C you play in the key of Bb? Well, I know B.C means bass clef and T.C means treble clef. I can read both. So will I have to transpose?

[theoldironcollector]

@licasis no u won't, every Baritone/Euphonium i have seen is in the key of Bb, so u can buy any type of horn and play it, B.C and T.C simply stand for the type of clef u read

[licasis]

OK. so a baritone/ euphonium is usually in the Key of Bb like a trumpet. If i was reading bass cleff, would top space G be fingerings 1 and 2? And when i read treble cleff, would second line G be fingerins 0? Which the G on the treble cleff would be an F to baritone on the bass cleff. Is it right?

[theoldironcollector]

@licasis exactly all the treble clef notes on euphonium is equivalent to the notes on a trumpet. so treble clef G=bass clef F

[loopyhoops]

B.C. means bass cleft and T.C. means trble cleft

[mattferguson439]

@licasis Not quite. B.C. means you read bass clef music. T.C. means you read treble clef music. It's quite common to learn to read bass clef music in north america when you are in a concert band setting, but traditionally, the baritone (and euphonium) play in treble clef to keep with traditional brass band methods.

[88psychosocial]

i play baritone not the euphonium but i think baritones sound better than any wind instrument

[EuphoniumPlayer01]

TC is for trumpet players that can't play trumpet.

[TheCommyEupher]

and for brass banders they read tc

[PrinceAngwards]

I'm also a baritone player. I've played it since 8th grade, and am currently in 10th grade. I play T.C. and i just love it

[robloxteam1]

i love the baritone ive played it since 6th grade and im in 8th now and its the same color.. of his and i am B.C. Not T.C.

[ultranoodles]

you didnt press down the valve when you took it out

thatsBAD

[greatballzoffire]

i cringed each time he moved it without pressing the valves. im glad sum1 else noticed

[aguywhoknowspeople]

i play the baritone in my band class :) luv it

[Cynaruto]

I Use The Baritone And Im In 6th Grade And My Director Says Im Better Then Highschool!!

[bowmax1]

cool im a baritone player too im a 10th grader and first chair i play the Euponium/baritone too i dont mean to put u down but all band directors say that to make u practice more

[mclean542]

i pla y this its pretty cool wanna play bass clarinet tho

[jmk123469]

a boy in my class plays the baritone

[swanybitch]

ha :25 hhhnnnggghhh come on but i play baritone in marching and concert and im on da drumline so snare and baritone are best any questions ask me

[Forzoma]

[carlosperezvidal]

[Forzoma]

i play the euphonium in band too

[airgunner12]

im play this

[georgiahine]

Is this the same thing as a tuba?

[Forzoma]

no its an octave higher

[Piviotmaster11]

thanks dude , im playing the baritone horn at school

[bob9teen76]

Not an expert, but probably come from a small village.

[dfester23]

goddamn i just need to know what the hell the 4th key does on a fricken fancy baritone!!!!!

[badoc10]

The fourth valve helps you get lower notes that you couldn't hit without it. Its basically the same as an F-attachment trombone. And what he has is euphonium.

[DJmcRUSH]

The 4th valve is more common on a Euphonium, but not unherd of on a Baritone. Anyway the 4th valve will replace using the 1st and 3rd together, because of the tubes length. A 4th valve also allows you to play peddle tones, or Tuba notes on a Baritone with relative ease.

[Redneckboyeee]

Actually you can play pedals without a 4th valve i can hit many on my marching baritone.. the fourth valve helps you hit a range between the peddle tone and its like concert F or something. More over the 4th valve like you said does replace 1st and 3rd but that is so it can be more in tune. The 4th valve on euphoniums is gerally on top with the other 3 valves or on the side and is used with the left hand.

[bree140221]

a fourth valve lets you play a low C a C flat and an F and all the other notes if u have a fingering chart it'll show u the optional keys for the notes

[mochojoe]

and i can play d above second octive b flat

[mochojoe]

by the way bass clefts where the instrment range is at dumb ass

[mochojoe]

o my frickin god dont you feel stuped u suck it takes more than that ive played chambor music and am in marching band and have seen 6th graders that know more than you

[djones965]

gigity gigity goo

'

[zop2o]

fail at 55 seconds. pushed in first valve slide, pressed second valve.

[marktremontirules1]

@zop2o fail at the whole video

[dadiniIo]

@zop2o he never pushed the right valve; even if he pulls the slides out, he doesn't push any valve - preposterous! it's the pull and plopp principle :D

injure your instrument teacher...

[stevenhamlin1000]

@zop2o 0:48 too

[whybanme]

When tuning, think about your slides as if they were a pencil sharpener. If your sound is flat, push in, as you would a pencil if it was flat. If your sound is sharp, pull out, as you would if your pencil was sharp enough.

[shadow3300]

Mine looks bigger and has different slides.

[baggagins101]

i play baritone with poly, and i just read euphonium music, it IS the same fingerings for bass and treble clef, it is jus different octives and u can read all of them, euphonium and baritone are so similar, it dusnt really matter if u read bass clef, treble or tenor clef, because you can ALWAYS play it anyway. It is possible to read both

[mdk4life1]

does anybody know where i can get sheet music for cool songs for a baritone horn or trumpet *i play both* lol

[pivotboy63]

google it then print it thats what I would say

[bree140221]

you sometimes have to buy it

[baggagins101]

can u people stop arguing over whether it is a baritone or a euphonium?! they r both taken care of the exact same way! so y dus it really matter? u can try and argue with me, but think about it? dus it really matter what kind of instrument it is in this particular video? well no. it dusnt. leave a comment on a vid that matters

[jackiemichelle27]

thank you!!

[johnnycagefan]

that,s the instrument that made me first chair for 7 weeks in a row

[amktsy]

my abnd teacher consider Baritone horn and euphonium as 1.

both me and my classamate use the same method but Baritone horn is smaller.

[piggy2123]

baritones have 3 valves and euphoniums have 4

[Kduceee]

no a baritone is slightly bigger than a euph...if it has 4 valves is just a 4 valve baritone <.<

[TonBoii2k8]

i play the baritone they have 3 valves the euphonium has 4

[porkboi]

Wrong.

A euphonium may have 3 OR 4 valves, this is a common misconception to all who don't play euphonium. The difference is not the valves, but the bore. A euphonium has a completely conical bore [with the exception of the valves] whereas a baritone has a mix of mostly cylindrical with a bit of conical nearing the end of the tubing.

Euphoniums also appear a bit larger than baritones and sound much prettier when played correctly.

[Kduceee]

so do i.. a euphonium can have 3 valves

[baggagins101]

valves are supposed 2 be down pulling out the slides, or else the air pressure will pop off the slides, putting your instrument at risk, cuz if it pops off quickly your hand will hit the instrument and possinly dent it

[starofthewesttuba]

you're an idoiot

[porkboi]

actually he would be partially right, because a euphonium has a conical bore meaning the bore gets bigger as you get closer to the bell [obviously you know this being that you have tuba in your name and a euphonium is a tenor tuba], meaning one side of the tuning slide will be bigger than the other, thus causing it to only fit ONE way. A baritone also does this but the size difference isn't as immediate as in a euphonium.

[techstar67]

baritone and euphonium are the same thing retard

[patrickty45]

cool ur videos r cool 2

[jiaxing265]

dude..... its an euphonium...

[KO8E89]

This guy is no fucking professional. He sucks so bad and has no idea how to take care of his instrument. Hold down the valve before you pull out the tuning slides. And know your minor scales better.

[UserID20]

THANK YOU. (to KO8E89)

[kingkelly2224]

yeahh umm i need help with the notes for baritone if someone could send them to me it would be great, i have to practice for a concert

[minaforlife]

hey is it possible to play

A World Without Danger on baritone without anybody else

[euphobari]

Nothing disappoints me more than one who calls a euphonium a baritone.

[ladybug3151]

Me too!! It Ticks me of!!! I hate how people do it! I absolutely have to correct them! LOL I'm gonna check you out, you sound cool! :-)

[bllydabest]

i started playing yesterday can you gimme a heads up(baritone):)

[yesoayesoa4]

Me too! But technically, he is playing a baritone since it has a smaller bore than my euphonium.

[happyypanda]

Can you give me some tips for playing high notes well? I have been playing baritone for a few years, but my range is not where i want it to be. I can play up to a high E flat (while it still sounds good).

[ladybug3151]

Tight embesure! E flat is good!!! No need to go higher!

[JediCire]

E flat as in one above the staff? that's not that high, I personally can get up to High F or G. Unless you aren't a true baritone player and play in treble clef.

[euphfellowship]

If he's a true "baritone player", he'll only play in treble clef.

[JediCire]

no, true baritone player play in Bass clef, treble clef is almost never taught to any baritone players

[baggagins101]

that is wat makes treble players unique and more elligible for a spot in a college band, so if you want 2 get a scholarship with baritone, i wud suggest learning treble clef, and learning how to transpose between treble and bass clef. there is no rule for "true" baritone players

[euphfellowship]

If you know what an actual baritone is and where it's used, then you will know that your information is incorrect. A REAL baritone, not the North American misconception of what a baritone is, is a cylindrical bore instrument with the timbre similar to that of a trombone, which can have 3 or 4 valves, and is used only in brass band, and read ONLY treble clef. A euphonium has a conical bore, giving it the darker, less edgy sound. It reads treble, bass and tenor clef.

[JediCire]

I have played baritone (not euphonium) for the past six years, there is no music written for the baritone in the treble clef, I have looked and all there is is bass.

[jackiemichelle27]

wow..

you obviously dont play it much then..

[JediCire]

No, of course not, I've only been playing it EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS, never once have I seen pieces only written in treble clef, only in bass.

[jackiemichelle27]

ok whatever..

but i play baritone and i read bass cleff

my best friend on the other hand plays baritone too and he reads pieces written in treble clef all the time

[jackiemichelle27]

how old are you anyways?

[JediCire]

The music can be transposed into treble clef, but is mostly written in Bass clef. Also, it doesn't matter how old I am, I'm old enough to know exactly what I'm talking about, I have had to read, write, and conduct for ensembles, mostly reading and writing for brass choirs.

[zuantuba]

LOLLLLLL

[ajago125]

i play in bass clef, but I have a book called baritone B.C (bass clef) if you play treble u probably get better parts, but i do get main parts occaisionally.

[whybanme]

Then you are mistaken.

[JediCire]

How am I mistaken for writing music for a low brass ensemble with parts that can be switched around with the other members of the ensemble, and also being able to double a part for a piece that has no baritone/euphonium part that would be close to the part that one would have if the part existed?

[inumasterqueen]

actually there is a lot of baritone t.c parts and in the salvation army we only use treble clef except for bass trombone as i play cornet,baritone and trombone

[bree140221]

actually there is you just didnt look hard enough

[euphfellowship]

.....Do you realize that you pushed down the 2nd valve when you removed the first valve tuning slide?

The *amount* of air is not effected at all when you push in or pull out a tuning slide. The length of the tubing determines the pitch and tuning of the pitch (as well as how much air YOU blow through the horn, which will determine which partial in the harmonic series you hit, that is, all of the *open* notes) Message me and I can arrange for a 10 year old to give you some lessons, if you like.
