Relax, take in a little more air than you think you need, and exhale that air freely as you play (don’t try to meter the air with your lips).
Air is the equivalent of bowing technique for strings. Flood your brain with good sound!Ģ) Air-Feed the sound with lots of air. For recordings, I recommend Joseph Alessi. If you have no real idea how you would like to sound, your chances of ending up with great tone are pretty low. Listen to great recordings and live performances. Below are some suggestions for improving tone and attending to this highest of priorities.ġ) Ideal Tone-Be sure to have a clear ideal sound in your head. Without good tone, nothing else you can do really counts. Tone, of course, is the first of these priorities.
If a player is in good shape in all 3 of these areas, chances of success in almost any performance, audition, or competition are high. There are 3 “non-negotiables” in trombone playing: 1) tone, 2) intonation, and 3) time/rhythm.
