  • Being efficient with your time and technique is an essential part of becoming a well-rounded trombonist. In this video, I perform a series of standard exercises that can be augmented to match your playing skill level. Long tones, articulation, and lip slurs are three fundamental exercises that I include as part of my daily routine. This video will give you a blueprint to develop your own effective and efficient 20-minute practice routine. Happy practicing!

      Thanks, I’m glad to know my message is not overwhelming. I want people to receive the information and really look for how they can apply it for themselves.

    Man, thanks so much for your instructions! I'm a 68 year old man that learned to play trombone in the 1960's, and the Highschool Band in our town, was invited to the Miss America Parade in Atlantic City in 1969. We came in 2nd place out of all the bands there. After Highschool, I stopped playing and haven't played again until last week. It may be nuts, but I'm going to try and pick it up again. It's like I've never played before. Your videos are helping! The hardest thing is getting my lips/mouth conditioned again.

      I’m glad the videos have been helpful. The key to getting back into any kind of shape is taking it slow. Short frequent practice sessions are helpful and quite frankly more fun when getting back into it. Too often people are disappointed they can’t play for 30-60 minutes straight when getting back to the instrument. Have fun with it and enjoy the overtones!

    really loving your videos and the concepts you're emphasizing...after 25 years off of playing, i've caught myself in a rush to get back my chops but this has encouraged me to really listen more to my body and to practice that sense of calm. thank you, sir.

    • @TheChopsShop

      It’s my pleasure to share the concepts. Little wins can go a long way to building a strong foundation. Keep moving forward mentally and you’ll be fine.

    I'm new to trombone playing, I'm 63 and I'm getting ready to retire, I can't afford music lessons, they are way to expensive 70-100 dollars a hour, I use Hall Lennard. It has been really helpful. Your help has been great THANK YOU.

    Thank you. Another great session. As an enthusiastic amateur my problem is I always practice like this in a kind of meditation session. Finishing off with an equally long period of melodies by ear and some improvisation.
    My sessions usually last 90 minutes. I know I really should have a more disciplined approach but this way is so much fun. I’m Lucky I have a fantastic deserted local subway to practice in with superb acoustics. 😁 😂

    • @TheChopsShop
      @TheChopsShop  Před 3 lety +3

      90 min is a great amount of time for a practice session! This routine is for the days you don’t have that amount of time. I’m sure if I was in the same acoustics you described, you wouldn’t be able to get the horn off my face either!😂
