@jonathanthursty 4 and a half minutes into a solo, your chops are starting to feel it. I think it's fantastic that she hit a G at 4:43! That's most likely better than I could play. Plus, if it doesn't sound high, then you're doing it right. The only thing she could work on is hammering down slide positions to tune as close to zero cents as possible.
Keep in mind: performances give jumpy nerves, and this was posted back in 2007 :)
Beautiful tone quality, Eva. I just happened upon this video, but your playing is really pretty and soothing to listen to. PLEASE do not take all the criticism that I see in the comments to heart-I made that mistake years ago when I was starting out. Therefore I never even tried to play any solos, and almost quit. When offered bass trombone, I jumped on it because I would be strictly in the background. To this day, I cannot bring myself to play a solo.
vid is a couple years old but....I agree with Uriahsheep below....touching anything other than the slide slows you down. After 6 years of playing I bet you know where your slide is at all times. second, I notice that you use your arm for all movement, not your wrist. using your wrist makes the motion smoother and takes less effort. Think of it this way, you can hit three positions at least using just your wrist. lastly, nice tone! Good job. I'll look at your other vids. Thanks!
its really beutiful, your performance inspire me, I am a medicine student but when I was in elementary school I started in music with a trombone I actually play it but not in a professional way, and when I heard you the first time it give me some kind some hope. Congratulations. (sorry I dont speak english very well)
Hoi, Ik ben Jolissa, 12 jaar oud en ik speel ook trombone. Op dit moment speel ik 3 jaar trombone. Ik heb jou stuk beluisterd en vond het heel mooi.
Ik heb gisteren ook een stukje van mijn trombonespel op youtube gezet. Je kan mij vinden onder Jolissa Vet trombone. Ik speelde op dat filmpje op een solistenconcours.
I think that she's going to be a very good player because she desires to play the horn in the first place.She has the intestinal fortitude to be good.Keep it up young lady.
Dit was eind examen aan academie izegem west-vlaanderen dit was opgelegd werk dat we uit het hoofd moesten kennen. 1 van de 5 stukken. ik heb toen 81% behaald.
you play a lil music. that is nice. Matetrombone added apiece and he cut wood instead of playing music. Winton Marsselis said once that even if u worm up with two notes u can play music with them. so i like the piece.
I agree. Also, taking a bigger breath will help with producing that effect over a long phrase. And for cleaner attacks, make sure the tongue and air stream meet at the same time.

this is for six years!? i am 14 and i played morceau symphonique and cavatine op.144 perfect and you play this shit bad. this is easy but you play it bad.
I remember doing this piece for grade 5 I think it was....hated it until I did my exam then I've loved it ever since!
uriahsheep: I touch the bell whenever I go into 3rd and it never slows me down, it's all about how you grew up playing and works for you.....its like having your forefinger extended over your mouthpiece, some people do it some people just keep it with the other fingers on the slide brace. That's part of what makes us great musicians....we're all different
6 years to play like you... SO... If I can count, it means that there's only 5 and a half year left to play like you :p :D I started this year in March... But you¨re great, anyway! :)
It's not a bad thing to get rid of touching the bell...it really makes your playing slower when you have a fast passage for example. I'm not saying that it's a critical mistake but it would make your life easier, eventually.:)
@uriahsheep Also, A classmate of mine was playing a rather fast section and he had a habit of sticking out his middle finger to judge positions by the bell. He ended up breaking his middle finger, because he was moving the slide too fast to move his finger out of the way.
ok....one complaint. Throughout the entire video, every note is chewed. instead of DAH DAH DAH it was NWAH NWAH NWAH. If that weren't there, the tone would be near perfect. It's good besides that.
It was a good job. The nerves showed, but that is normal at this stage in your career. The faster passages ... got a bit muffled, but still came through. Very good work. You used the emotions of the piece to flow well. One question? How much of a lag was there between your warm up and the performance?
Great performance, but try not to show frustration of disappointment in your facial expressions. Not only will it help your confidence, but the audience will never know. =D Keep up the good work!
I love this piece. We play it in my band, but I have never had a chance to play it as a solo. I've only ever played the first trombone part. but I'm getting there (:
I'm sorry for what my cousin posted on here about this vid 3 months ago. I made him get his own youtube page and he knows nothing about trombone because he plays alto sax, but i'm sorry again.
this is a beautiful piece [even more so played on YSL-446G trombone]. im thinking about using this piece for solo'n ensamble this winter. I LOVE THE LEGATO AT THE BEGGINING. but stop touching ur bell, thats cheating!
I thought you played really well. The thing most people don't understand is that music isn't just about blating, it is to make the piece you are playing match with the sound type and feel for the insterment. you did that very well for this song! =]
Not bad at all. Thouh you should really work on your horn angle and spread your elbows out a bit more so the tone quality would be better. I mean your tone is beautiful, but not as beautiful as it should be. Also at the end, you sort of died which sort of killed the great ending you had going. Anyway, good playing. I enjoyed it :)

I like the tone quality and everything but you sound like a dying cat. Its because your poster of how your holding your instrument and not being able to see your music isn't always a good excuse cause you can always make your stand higher.
I was playing whitout my music sheet it was for my examen of the musicschool. I hold my instrument on the way that i like. and i now it can beter but I feel myself good whit it. and you think you can do it better put than your version on youtube. and GET A LIFE
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i don't want to be mean but i'm 17 and i can play it better than that, i hope that other vid of fantasy for trombone that's on here was after this one because i noticed you took the lower ending too that kinda disappointed me, but i will say that you can take the continuing 16th notes a little over half way into the song better than me, so good job. these two vids are probably the reason i'm using this song for college auditions, so thanks!!
De rustige delen in het begin prachtig.. de snellere en luidere delen waren iets meer geforceerd en moeilijker. Dit is natuurlijk ook geen gemakkelijk stuk.
touching the slide is natural. it's how i remember exactly where position 4 is. especially when you play more than one instrument. i bet she plays piano too
Ive heard that too, but I started taking lessons with the second chair trombonist in the Nashville symphony and she tells me to do that to help me remember exactly where certain positions are. It really does help. And another thing, Conn sells bell weights designed by Christian Lindberg. If those dont affect sound, then surely your hand wouldnt
why so nervous? had your instrument to your face for a whole half a minute before your first note. need to chill, but you still sound better than me most of the time.
lindberg does not touch his bell with his fingers. i had a master class with him and he went ape shit about people doing that and told us all his slide technique. and it is not ok to touch the bell as not all trombones are the same which means the positions are different on every trombone so just use ur ears people!!!!!
It's totally ok to touch your bell when you play. If you watch most professional players, especially Christian Lindberg, they all use thier fingers to gauge middle C, which needs to be pulled in. Only Alessi doesn't do this, because he is such a perfect little snot.
even though that comment on the "groping" was uncalled for....she does need to stop touching the end of her slide 'cus it slows you down. I was taught this in the sixth grade! Guess what? I am in the seventh grade!
Wow, everyone's an expert it seems. Chances are that most of the people criticising are hopeless at trombone and just jealous anyway. This performer sounds fine, she obviously isn't a professional so just lay off or prove you can do better.
You seem to go flat quite a bit. I think this might have to do with you embouchure. Your sense of meter is not bad. On your longer phrases you need to keep the air flow the same from the point of articulation into the next note. Not bad though, keep practicing.
She has all the same problems I used to have when I first started playing in college then a trombone professor came along and fixed all of it. I teach music now and offer some advice that helped me learn to play better.
Touching the bell doesn't really do anything except assure you that you're in 3rd/4th position, but really, depending on the tuning of a piano, 3rd and 4th are not always going to be lined up right with the bell...which would explain why intonation is a little off.
Football shaped notes: Starts off soft, then gets louder then gets softer, hence the shape of a football. This, in return, gives a sort of "wah-wah" effect (you can hear it really good right when she begins to play). It has to do with the amount of air you inhale and then expel...posture has a lot to do with correcting it, but breath control takes a lot of practice.
The bell touching isn't a problem, it just bugs me. Your posture is killing me though, reminds me of our "faggoty" 2nd/3rd Bone with the sinking into your hips and elbows in. Your tounging could be a bit more defined on the technical bits and there could be more emotion in the shaping of the slower parts. I like your tone though, dark and round like a pro.
playing trombone, you should know how to spell tonguing, which i swear to god is the most mispelled word. the thing you taste with=tongue. The thing you sit in that you for some reason put a t in front of is a lounge.
yes i should, cuz if nobody ever says anything about it it will continue to be misspelled. plus you should know how to spell the most vital muscle in all of trombone playing.
Touching the bell isn't really all that bad. Granted, you shouldn't do it to "find" 3rd/4th, but if maybe you come to a point where you're holding a note or something, and you're flat/sharp, it's OK to use the finger to move it, but never use the finger to actually JUDGE where it's in tune, that should be in your ear.
Do you have the piano part from this solo? so yes Can i have him!!

Very Nice. Couple of things i would say to you.
Firstly touching the slide in 3rd isn't the best thing to do. But people have already said that.
The second thing is that try not to swell on your notes when playing legatio phrases it can split the phrase up.
Other than that, great job!

very nice.. but to give you some advice:S why dont you use the "help"positions for the high notes??

even though that comment on the "groping" was uncalled for....she does need to stop touching the end of her slide 'cus it slows you down. I was taught this in the sixth grade! Guess what? I am in the seventh grade!

Wow, everyone's an expert it seems. Chances are that most of the people criticising are hopeless at trombone and just jealous anyway. This performer sounds fine, she obviously isn't a professional so just lay off or prove you can do better.

Yeah, one person even admitted to being in 7th grade. no one in 7th grade is any good. All these little nubs commenting on this stuff.

You seem to go flat quite a bit. I think this might have to do with you embouchure. Your sense of meter is not bad. On your longer phrases you need to keep the air flow the same from the point of articulation into the next note. Not bad though, keep practicing.

a lot of this is out of tune all the partials are not lined up perfectly you must alter them all slightly for each note.

She has all the same problems I used to have when I first started playing in college then a trombone professor came along and fixed all of it. I teach music now and offer some advice that helped me learn to play better.

Touching the bell doesn't really do anything except assure you that you're in 3rd/4th position, but really, depending on the tuning of a piano, 3rd and 4th are not always going to be lined up right with the bell...which would explain why intonation is a little off.

Football shaped notes: Starts off soft, then gets louder then gets softer, hence the shape of a football. This, in return, gives a sort of "wah-wah" effect (you can hear it really good right when she begins to play). It has to do with the amount of air you inhale and then expel...posture has a lot to do with correcting it, but breath control takes a lot of practice.

The bell touching isn't a problem, it just bugs me. Your posture is killing me though, reminds me of our "faggoty" 2nd/3rd Bone with the sinking into your hips and elbows in. Your tounging could be a bit more defined on the technical bits and there could be more emotion in the shaping of the slower parts. I like your tone though, dark and round like a pro.

playing trombone, you should know how to spell tonguing, which i swear to god is the most mispelled word. the thing you taste with=tongue. The thing you sit in that you for some reason put a t in front of is a lounge.

If it's so misspelled, you should'nt get on my back about it.
DancingSpacePotato 4 years ago
yes i should, cuz if nobody ever says anything about it it will continue to be misspelled. plus you should know how to spell the most vital muscle in all of trombone playing.
khbgkh 4 years ago
Touching the bell isn't really all that bad. Granted, you shouldn't do it to "find" 3rd/4th, but if maybe you come to a point where you're holding a note or something, and you're flat/sharp, it's OK to use the finger to move it, but never use the finger to actually JUDGE where it's in tune, that should be in your ear.

you need to stand up straighter too. ur slouching a bit and not using the full capacity of ur lungs.

Yeah tank up and blow though, best advice for playing long phrases and dynamic shaping.

Your technical parts are pretty good, but you need to really work on your lyric playing. Not a bad performance, though.
