I love these exercises, my neighbors hate them

Many thanks for this video James. No matter the level, be it a student beginner, intermediate or professional you can always learn something new. Even if it’s something you already know or do, just from a different perspective. A great teaching perspective, so kudos to you Maestro.

I used a very similar approach this last semester teaching a student who switched to bass trombone. It was very effective. The Paul Faulise warmup book also emphasizes this technique to match and/or maintain timbre. Such an important concept to lock in consistency!

Thanks for sharing! Always great to hear you teach.

Thank you so much Maestro!!!! Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪

It's great to see so many people saying thank you in the comments. I want to add my thank you as well ! It's so great to hear you in this "isolated" context (as opposed to a performance context with other musicians). Wow, I love your sound!

Really really great. I have experience with the bass bone but it's never bad to consolidate and I had never practiced it this way. I'm EAGER to see next week's video!

So so excited for this series!

please do more of these! So helpful!

Thank you so much for generously sharing your time and expertise with us! Just did Day 2 of this, and it feels so therapeutic. Can't wait to get my students on this as well.

Tank you so much for die video. Have been working in my low register a lot recently and also in my embouchure. Greetings from Germany 🎉

Can’t wait for p2

Thank you!

Thank you.

Amazing video! Can you next talk about air and how you use it as efficiently in the low range? I struggle to make longer phrases when doing rochut 8VB

When warm-up session #1?

thanks for exercises! what hand support are you using?

Mr. Markey, thank you so much for this video! I had a question for you regarding what to do at the points in which the sound either loses its core or feels like the structure of the embouchure has begun to weaken to the point where I am unable to play the note at a stronger dynamic whilst maintaining a full sound. I know that you teach the mantra “move as much as you need but as little as you can” but it begins to get frustrating trying to figure out why there seems to be a sudden cliff between certain notes (low Ab and G in particular) where I am unable to play with confidence in my structure without a large shift. Do you have any advice for bridging these shifts, and how would you approach learning to play notes the right but unconfident way vs the confident but maybe not right way? Thanks!

I tell my band students all the time that my favorite F word is….”Focus.”

Hi Mr. Markey, I am back after 2 days rewatching this video since I wanted to play along with you while I worked on this exercise today and I had some new questions. First do you think we should be matching the pitch of the notes such as C in 6th with the 2nd valve 2nd position, if we choose to tune our 2nd valve to the Db and our first valve to the low F, instead of tuning our first valve to the C. I also wanted to ask if you think tools such as Berps, cutaways, and rims are useful to use when working through this exercise. Thank you in advance!

2:49 🧠"Hey, that's the start to Black Sabbath's Iron Man." Sorry, continue.

Thank you so much for this video! I have one question. It sounds like you were saying “your tamber” at 7:00 but I couldn’t understand the meaning of the word “tamber” due to poor English skills. Could you tell me the meaning?
