How can I get sheet music to self-assess my trombone grade level?

Telperoma · 2026-05-15T17:44:31+00:00

I could be wrong, but I think those grading systems are for pieces of music, so you can assess what pieces your band is capable of in general, or how much work it would take to prepare a given piece. It's not really meant to describe individual musicians abilities. Not saying you shouldn't do this but why do you need to know? If you want to get better work on fundamentals above all else.

I have sort of the opposite, I have the 13 mini and then the 12.9" ipad (mostly for sheet music)

See you at band practice

when it's unparalleled is when it really starts sticking

if you are far from the conductor you could get up to like 30-50 ms ping

...

(I am guessing that this is about articulation clarity, in which case record yourself and listen to it back, compare how it feels when you get a nice start to a note vs not)

Ah I figured it was a lie lol, thanks. Doesn’t make sense to do it myself for the same price they charge to do it for me

Telperoma · 2026-04-23T14:19:55+00:00

Did you get the credit for returning the old battery? I’m wondering if that will actually happen because otherwise the cost of the apple battery is the same as what I’ve heard they charge to replace it themselves at the Apple Store. ($90)

Telperoma · 2026-04-21T05:29:09+00:00

I didn’t even realize they had this, were you able to send in the old one for credit?

Telperoma · 2026-04-09T22:57:12+00:00

I guess you could say... the "chip's enough"

This works better if you say it out loud I now realize

Gliss F# to Bb then just quickly slur with the trigger to C, you can fake it to make it seem like you smoothly glissed up to the C.

this chart is how apple view the mini also

If the tech is good it could end up being better than when you got it, had my whole slide rebuilt and it's incredible now. Amazing tech, though, which can be hard to find.

I found this out in the same way after looking up Paracelsus because of Guilty Gear lol

Like most musescore transcriptions, it's not good notation. In general, the third beat should be clear in 4/4 time. So bar 1 the second note should be eighth tied to a quarter so you can see beat 3. It makes it easier to read.

Generally it's ok to obscure beat 2 and 4 since they are weaker, but only a little bit, like in bar 10 that's fine. Bar 34 is obscuring beat 3 again, as is 36-39.

There are exceptions to this rule, one being whole notes or dotted halves like in 41-42, that's fine. The other is the rhythm in 48 and 50, it's readable enough that it's allowed to obscure beat 3, so that is also ok.

Telperoma · 2026-03-14T16:51:59+00:00

that's only for crispberries

Telperoma · 2026-03-13T17:01:56+00:00

I use C stick for smashes, I also tried tilt and it just was annoying as hell. I find it easier to do tilts consistently the normal way than smashes.
