I want you trombones to help me to help you by critiquing my playing.Dr. Some mistakes are a very choppy transition into measure 2, a slight gliss into the last half note of measure 3, and a moderate wavering overall.

There's a world of a difference in the mark-time version. On the sit-down version, there is a slight gliss into the 2nd note, the last half note of measure 3 was wavery and the double whole note could've been held out longer. It took me numerous attempts to get these recordings even though they were short. The second is me playing the same measures but standing and mark timing. The first recording is me sitting down and playing the first 6 measures of Hard to Say I'm Sorry. Not the best recording equipment, and not the best metronome but that's besides the point. Here are some recordings of myself playing. This is applies to every band, not just Symphonic or Marching!Īmazing vids that guy is a BEAST! Its playing like this that shows you how much of an effect emotion or drive can create.

Playing correct notes and rhythms are great, but adding emotion to the music makes it even better. Murakami said it himself, songs like Irish Tune only sound boring because we're making it boring. The trombone loop video only proves how in time one can play - with himself. Video three has the actual Tetris theme song we're playing, more Pokemon, SUPER MARIO GALAXY, and other awesome stuff. Video two has Pokemon in it and a BUNCH of runs. Video one has the Angry Birds Theme, that really reminds me of Fields Of Sunflowers. (more like melodies, but okay.) Posted these 4 videos so you can see how important it is to play in the style of the music. I found this awesome guy that played 3 videos of video game symphonies.
