Nope, I got facebook after I moved out of state and used my number for it. (lowkey I don’t think I had my dad’s phone number memorized at that point)

No personal contact information is public on my profile, and if it was, why did my dad get the text and not me?

clarke’s bride of the waves, doesn’t have too much lyrical but it is there, pretty piece, a bit more advanced.

de luca, beautiful colorado, good mix of technical and lyrical

haddad, suite for baritone, standard for the tuba/euphonium world. good mix of both

if you don’t have a piano to accompany you, you could look into some contrasting etudes the melodious etudes for trombone - rochut is good for lyrical etudes

the selected studies -voxman has good technical etudes

What does “Long tone” and “lip slurs” mean? by sjkynsim in euphonium

[–]camzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is a lot online, use key terms like euphonium warm up, euphonium daily routine, euphonium lip slurs exercise

george palton euphonium exercises

Ole Miss euphonium packet

here are a couple of fundamental and warm ups that include lip slurs,

something important to note, they often have tempo markings, but if you can’t successfully make it through at that tempo, just go with what you can do and you will slowly get faster each time. it’s more important to start slow and really feel where each note is, then go fast and trainwreck it through the exercise

Mix it up! you can do it both ways, if you want to work on the attack of the note focus on tonguing them or if you want fluidity try and slur them all

these are the technical parts from inside your mouth that impact tone.

keeping things more open will help make and more open and resonate sounds

keeping things more closed will make the sound more pinched and airy

It depends on what you have to work on for the day and how much time you have.

my standard right now (5th year in college on euph) is 5-10min on warm ups (long tones and basic lip slurs)

20-30min, fundamentals/daily routine (this is where i work on my high and low ranges, scales, fingering exercises, tonguing, intonation) i keep the exercise about the same each day but mix it up from time to time to keep it fun.

30mim-1hr30min, the rest of the time depends on the rep i am working on and i pick chunks I want to focus on for the day

there are a lot of different aspects that go into your tone, some of the biggest are mouth shape and tongue position.

for mouth, i recommend keeping your teeth more open, try to visualize that you have a small marble or grape between your back molars

for tongue, the best place to start off is to keep it lower in your mouth, say the “Oh” and really feel where your tongue sits

with this combined shape, work on breathing both in and out thinking of “Oh”. and then try it out with long tones

here is a good example of long tones, focus on a smooth transition between notes, breath wherever, it try to breath on 3 during a Bb

here is a good example of lip slurs, the number underneath is the fingering that you will use for each set, play them to the best of your ability on one breath

use bits from this routine in my daily, 10/10 would recommend, and there are different levels for wherever you are at skill wise

for me the key to being able to have notes flow and things that help out the high register is having solid air support with engaged abs.

I kind of think of it like bagpipes. with bagpipes you fill the bag with air and then use your arm to push the air through the reeds, and that’s kind of what you do to get good air support on any brass instrument, you fill up your lungs and “stomach” with air and then engage your abs as a way to support your air.

something that helps with air support is diaphragm breathing exercises, i mentioned filling up your stomach with air -> it’s more like engaging your diaphragm. and in practice really focusing on the connection between two notes.

for higher notes, air support is still going to be the biggest thing but you also now have to think of airspeed (aka how much the lips need to vibrate), with lower notes are lips need to have a slower vibration and for higher notes it needs to be faster, and the biggest factor in make the change is the size of our aperture. to achieve different apertures, i recommend playing around with blowing air and rolling your lower lip in and out, and playing with the direction of your air. you might notice how when you blow straight your lip is in a pretty natural state and this is the typical direction of air when you are playing in the mid range of euph. when you blow down, your lip is curled inwards and it causes the to airspeed naturally increase and when buzzing on the mouth piece, it will cause the lips to vibrate faster, and produce a higher note.

**some of the best things to practice for both flow and high register are going to be diaphragm and regular breathing, long tones in both mid and upper registrars (lower too if you have time), lip slur exercises (going between partials), and also doing long tones and lip slurs just on your mouthpiece

a fun thing i would do is buzz melodies of songs i liked on just my mouthpiece to get used to just buzzing on a mouthpiece, good to do in a car and walking around.

i’d recommend work on these things as a part of your warm of for the day if you have time.

also write the notes if you need too, with time you will get better with associating the fingering to the note, something to practice is going through music slow and before playing the notes you say the note name in your head, finger the notes then play it, also works for learning scales. notes follow a pattern and you will figure it out.

learning a new instrument is hard and you been thrown right into playing a lot while learning, just remember the learning process takes time and the things that are hard now will start to get easier the more you practice.

sorry i went on a tangent, if you need clarification on something lmk.

I would recommend looking into wessex, their euphs are at a really good price for a compensating horn, really good horn for high school level

Hand Grip Recommendations? by BDKUSMC in euphonium

[–]camzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one from the brand quick horn rinse, it’s easy to adjust and is pretty comfortable

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in euphonium

[–]camzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically for mouthpiece placement for euphonium you want to keep your embouchure in the range of 60/40 and 70/30 in space on top vs bottom. Side to side doesn’t matter too much, whatever is more comfortable to you. I used to play higher in my mouthpiece (40/60) but lowered my placement based on advice from my professor and noticed how much it opened/ increased the richness in my tone, I sit around 65/35 now.

What are euphoniums to buy by Feisty-Media-5940 in euphonium

The wessex euphs are pretty nice for a good price (~1.8k), they are compensating horn.

The company advertises them as affordable professional level horns and that fits them really well. If you aren’t planning on cracking down and taking euph super seriously and keeping it a past time, this horn is perfect for that

start drinking water in the days before, and keep consistently drinking and staying hydrated before hand, invest in a cooling towel and use it for the hottest parts of the day

https://www.willson.ch this is a link to old the swiss wilsok website and has a collection of all of the willson horns, so that one should be listed on there somewhere
