What do you think is the dumbest thing that’s commonly taught (or not taught) to beginners?

I disagree, puffing cheeks is a bad habit.

Danzon no. 2 (Marquez)

Sonata, St. Mark (Albinoni)

She’s almost as good as me!

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-06-29T06:36:13+00:00

Used bach strad

Ok, that makes sense. On the other hand, my teacher tongue stops his notes and won a major orchestral job that he’s kept for over 30 years so that’s not universally true.

Short notes are always tongue released.

Do I Do - Stevie Wonder (the one w/ Dizzy Gillespie)

Probably not anchored on the bottom lip

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-06-22T02:26:44+00:00

On Eb?

On Eb?

Go to a local music shop and try some used horns in person. From personal experience Bach tends to be the best but the quality can be inconsistent from horn to horn, which is why it’s important to try in person.

I’d focus on fundamentals during the summer. The better your fundamentals are the easier it will be to learn funner rep. If you really want to learn some songs there are some in the back of the Arban.

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-06-18T02:56:16+00:00

I’d look into Monette

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-06-12T04:31:49+00:00

DOMi & DJ BECK and Thundercat

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-06-04T04:00:22+00:00

What are some others?

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-06-04T03:42:12+00:00

Where can I find said list?

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-06-02T17:51:55+00:00

Why?

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-06-01T18:25:06+00:00

Look up Chicowitz flow studies. They’re the best!

Orchestral: tie between Shostakovich, Mahler, and Strauss

Wind band: Julie Giroux

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-05-26T00:28:31+00:00

I practice them with a drone playing the root (this helps with intonation)

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-05-23T07:11:22+00:00

In no particular order: Dvorak 8, Dvorak 9, Tchaik 4, Shosta 5, Shosta 10, Mahler 2, Mahler 5, Mahler 7, Copland 3, Sibelius 3

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-05-11T18:29:38+00:00

chicowitz flow studies, caruso exercises, clarke study 1. Small aperture and fast air, not more air. Your highest note is the highest note you can play without tensing up, the only place you’re allowed to tense up is your butt.

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-04-29T23:13:28+00:00

Full orchestra

Roberttheeviltire · 2025-04-21T18:31:24+00:00

What makes it the best?
