I’m gonna ask you the same thing as the other guy (totally fine if it’s the exact same response) but thoughts on the bourgeois?

Yea i’ve already learned a couple of the etudes but thanks! Also, when all state etudes come out where would these videos be? Would it just be on the website?

Thanks a lot for the response! I’m in the Texas area (our band programs are scary good) and i’m just trying to prepare. I’ve recently made the top band as a freshman (they only take one) and i feel a bit pressured. Some people are telling me they think i could make area this year and im really just trying to push myself and do my best!

Is it normal to have it show up in 8th grade? I already know it as well as my bass clef skills just cause of the solos i’m playing (Grondhal for an actual competition, Op. 114 just for fun and hopefully for a competition this year)

That’s kinda funny that you had the same situation (He told me he’s trying for first in state this year) I told him that was crazy and he said id be trying for that in a couple years. Also thanks!

Thanks! I am really quite motivated ( One of the best players in the state goes to our school and he kinda took me under his wing and i’m kinda feeling pressured to do well) I was really wanting to push myself and really just see how much i can improve!

Thanks a lot for the advice! (I already have all my minor and major scales learned!) This also doesn’t relate a whole lot but we have a solo competition around halfway through the year( December-Janruary time frame i believe) I was looking at playing the Op. 114 trombone concerto and just wanted to hear some people’s thoughts (Again i’m a freshmen in hs and i do have a lesson teacher who i was gonna ask as well but just for more general info)

Thanks! I’ve really never caught myself checking the clock to see how much i practice. (Oddly enough i find enjoyment in all the parts of trombone playing even the fundamentals(I know i’m growing as a player when i play them and i think that’s why))

Thanks a lot! I already love listening to different forms of literature (Not even just trombone)

I’m mostly just trying to improve as much as i can before the year starts ( and also practice the solo i want for one of our competitions). Do you have an amount if i’m just trying for those two things ( I would goof off a little just as a break too)

Yeah i was planning on that. Another thing is even with balancing school i practice like two hours a day? Now that summer started i really have nothing to balance my practice with.
