I’ll be honest, I wasn’t planning on recording reference videos for the TMEA Trombone Etudes this year. I just have so many other projects I am working on right now and that I am excited to dedicate my time to. BUT, I received several requests from my YouTube subscribers to record the TMEA All-State Band audition etudes again this year. So I did it for you!!! It is very important to me as a content creator that I make the content you want to see! If I keep seeing the same request from multiple people, I will make that video for you! I wouldn’t be where I am without all of your support and I want to show you that. Thank you so much to my subscribers and students for your input and video requests!
This video can be used as a reference for Texas high school trombone students who are auditioning for the 2020-2021 All-State Band. Included in this video is a performance of the etude w/ sheet music, followed by playing tips, audition tips and a warm up exercise. Hint: the warm up exercise is of a pattern that appears 3 times within this etude! If you get super comfortable with this pattern, it will definitely help you in playing this etude #2 (Voxman Pg. 4). Also, if you take the pattern up on half step at a time, it is a great way to build your range! Check it out on a recent Instagram post I made!
How to play high on the trombone and increase your range is a huge topic in not only the trombone community, but the brass community in general. This is by far the number one question I get asked. Here are some other videos I have on my YouTube channel that will help you increase your range on the trombone. (I mentioned them both in my most recent TMEA video (Etude #2).
