HOW TO PLAY HIGH ON TROMBONE with Over the Rainbow // Lesson and Play-Along

I am very excited to talk (and type) about this week’s video, How to Play High on Trombone with Over the Rainbow. After hearing all of your responses and feedback on this video, I have decided to turn it into an educational video series on my YouTube channel! The series will be called “Play High”. Play High with Over the Rainbow, Play High with _________ , etc.! I am excited to share my favorite melodies with you in this way.

I have been wanting to create more educational content on my YouTube channel for a while now. Of course, in addition to the music video-style arrangements and collaborations! I very much consider those the bread-and-butter or main content of my YouTube channel. However, I have realized (from all of your questions and feedback) that a lot of my followers and subscribers don’t JUST want to be entertained, they also want to become better trombone players, better brass players, and better musicians!

The videos will be in a similar format. We will take a melody up, one half step at a time with the goal of increasing your range on the trombone (or any instrument) and being able to play higher and higher. It is a gradual process and I’d be happy if we could do it together! The videos in the Play High series will also include a custom made practice track and sheet music. After each video is released, ALL of the practice tracks and (some) of the sheet music will be available on my website for purchase.

This is a process I am very passionate about and I use daily in my own practice. Like I said in the video, one of the most common questions I get asked is ,”How do you play high on the trombone”. The answers is simple: one half step at a time. I look forward to creating more videos in this format and sharing them with the trombone and brass communities. #teamtrombone
