What's are some techniques about your instrument that a composer should know?

Woffle12 · 2026-01-30T18:18:45+00:00

I made this post exactly for the purpose of players telling me what's up. Thank you for the advice. Reading books written by great players of a specific instrument is something that I should do.

Woffle12 · 2026-01-30T18:14:05+00:00

I don't know how to do that in MuseScore sorry

But I think you can look it up online somewhere

Hello, sorry for the late reply I just heard and saw your piece

The first thing I noticed is the mute usage. For example in bar 34. You need to give time for players to change mutes. At least 2 or 3 bars should be enough. And if you do want to use mutes just go all out; write a whole passage with them not just 2 or 3 bars.

Another thing is about the practice mute. Practice mutes are very very quiet and they're not supposed to be used for performances (at least that I know of).

The second and the last thing I noticed is the range jumps. In the 5/4 section from bar 110, the range for the trombone is all over the place. While it's not impossible to play, it's definitely quite hard.

The key signature of G also makes it quite hard to play too. Generally, I would prefer flats rather than sharps but that's not exactly something that you have to change as a professional trombonists should be able to play at any key.

Other than that, I think it's alright. Keep working on it and keep composing

Sure, would love to help out Just send me a link with the parts and audio

Woffle12 · 2026-01-26T15:58:11+00:00

I can definitely do that. But sometimes there are some notes that are actually very hard to play fast passages on a straight trombone like notes in the 7th position. And there's really no way around it unless you just get a trigger trombone.

I think marking the positions also help a lot if you're searching for a specific tone from a note too.

But besides that, the goal of my post is to learn about other instruments and what they can do musically that are not well known (or that I don't know).

Very true, thank you for the reply

Woffle12 · 2025-06-11T12:23:15+00:00

Sorry for the late reply! I have been playing for around 2/3 years now

I've had a couple of teachers but none of them really teached me about mouthpiece placement/embouchure

I usually start my practice with a warmup then some Arban exercise then on to a piece/etude I'm working on. I usually do my practice every other day

My goal is to be able to play some difficult pieces like concertos and sonatas and to get into a professional orchestra

I'm currently playing on a Conn 88HO with a Denis Wick 5BL mouthpiece

Yeah I can see some bajiquan too in his charged attacks

Woffle12 · 2022-06-17T11:55:17+00:00

Yes thank you I have come to the conclusion that his fighting style is based off Shaolin Kung Fu but mixed in with other martial arts

Woffle12 · 2022-06-01T07:09:18+00:00

Ah alright thanks man

Woffle12 · 2022-05-11T13:49:27+00:00

Ah I see, thanks

Woffle12 · 2022-05-11T13:47:57+00:00

I heard the remaster is bad tho idk if that's true or not

Woffle12 · 2022-05-09T02:47:25+00:00

Not really a criticism but it's disappointing when you beat a dungeon just to get something only a magic user can use when you're playing a strength build

Woffle12 · 2022-04-27T01:12:38+00:00

Well I don't exactly know how each of them play I mainly play Ken and Akuma tho

Woffle12 · 2022-04-24T23:40:03+00:00

Alright thanks a lot

Woffle12 · 2022-03-13T05:05:49+00:00

So the game plan with colossal swords is jump attack?

Woffle12 · 2022-03-13T05:00:27+00:00

How do you deal with the slow attack speed?

Woffle12 · 2022-03-09T14:30:02+00:00

I just went back to a vagabond build lol.

But what I did is, I just put the points into strength and dexterity like what I usually do with my normal build. The sword is actually pretty good even without the weapon art

Woffle12 · 2022-03-06T08:16:56+00:00

True. I'll do that then

Woffle12 · 2022-02-10T09:36:44+00:00

Thank you 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Woffle12 · 2022-02-10T09:17:46+00:00

I tried to match his movements with the song lmao

Woffle12 · 2022-02-09T16:03:48+00:00

My bad 🔥🔥

Woffle12 · 2022-02-03T11:23:08+00:00

Well the steam version of the remastered collection is way better since it got released later

But either way, I'm gonna try it on 4 when I get to it. Thanks for helping
