  • Welcome to my latest cover! In this video, I play "Binary Sunset" from Star Wars, an iconic and beloved theme. To step it up, I played in an octave higher, reaching all the way to G5 on a tenor trombone!
    "Binary Sunset", composed by legendary John Williams, is a memorable theme from the Star Wars saga. By shifting it up an octave, I challenge my range and make this usually easy theme into a massive obstacle. Even if you haven't seen Star Wars, I hope you enjoy this rendition!

    Equipment:
    Not sure what model the trombone is but the mouthpiece I used is a Vincent Bach 12C.

      I wrote the music on flat.io. If you click on the note then it plays the note. The funny thing is that the note (G5) is so high that the program doesn’t even play it if you click on it lol

    i’m a flute player who tried out trombone for 4 days during my community’s band camp and A.) i can’t even read some of these notes, and B.) when i tried trombone, i couldn’t even make it to that first 4th position G 💀💀

    I recognize your sound as something I once had an issue with. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like you are separating the air between notes with your throat rather than your tongue. Your tongue should be making the movement of saying “ta” when you start each note

    Please don't make it a habit to play high. As a tuba player i can confidently tell you that playing long and low notes is the best way to improve the way you sound. Playing really high is probably the least important part of playing any low brass instrument.
