004 - Aquecimento no trombone: flexibilidade no trombone

Estudos de flexibilidade como parte do aquecimento do trombonista. (Flexibility on trombone warm up) The translatiion (made on Google Translator - sorry ;( My name is Alexander Teixeira and I would like to talk about the importance of flexibility in the trombonista warm up. 00:12 - Start of flexibility with long notes, always starting from the first position. 00:29 - Notice that I use the tongue only in first note. You must playe with a lot of air and without interruption of the air stream. 0:44 - Second position. 12:53 - Notice that the second position, by the way in all positions you must open a little stick in the middle note. This is because this note is high and needs to be corrected downwards. 1:14 - Now we do in the third position: A flat, E flat and A flat again. 1:35 - We have a fourth: G, D, G. And now we do Gb, Db, and Gb. 1:45 - Sixth position: F, C and F. 1:54 - Seventh position: E, B and E. 2:04 - This study is for you start your flexibility. Now let's play the Bb and go to the F. The movement should be faster. 2:56 - Another interesting exercise: start Bb medium and go to D. 3:36 - Try to increase the speed gradually. (This part of my rhythm was not very regular - I suggest making with a metronome). 4:00 - Try from the first position until the seventh. Go back with one breath. 4:23 - After you've mastered this region, ascend or descend. Let's do the D and F. 4:43 - F to Bb. 4:58 - Bb to F 5:17 - Notice that the beginning is very difficult to make the notes more quickly, but start slowly and increase the speed each week. 5:31 - Another interesting exercise: Bb1 to Bb 3, play all the notes. 5:56 - I played all the notes in the first place ..... second place .... until the seventh. 6:28 - When I do this exercise quickly, I do not use the pitch correct position, since the goal is to reach the fullest extent. But if you slow, you can correct positions. For example, in fourth position: the D is slightly open and B is closed. And high F will be closed (as B). 7:07 - In the fifth Db will be opened, closed and Bb And closed. 7:30 -- About this question of refining the positions I will speak in another class. There is another exercise that I usually do every day: play the Bb average, down to F and up. 8:36 - When you have mastered the extension do it again climbing to the D. 9:00 - After a few months practicing not be satisfied and go up to F. 9:35 - Well, that's what I had to talk about flexibility. Thanks and until next time. From Universidade Federal de Uberlândia.
