Sounds really good, you've got the breathing down. Didn't seem to be any mistakes in your playing, you were playing all the notes correctly and at the right time.

 

Constructive criticism.

 

- Work on phrasing, just being able to play a piece isn't everything. At the end of each phrase you're cutting the note short to take a breath, there's no rush, hold the note for the full beat before you take a breath.

 

- Use more dynamics, start a phrase softly and crescendo through it then decrescendo as you get to the end of the phrase, dynamics are a huge part of playing a piece. Listen to a professional recording and concentrate on the dynamics the player uses.

 

Otherwise, sounded great :wink:

Wow, such a wonderful comment. I have noticed that me not playing as much has led to problems with phrasing and dynamics throughout a piece. With me working it will be hard for me to get some practice time in. However, I have recently got a hold of a Arbans trombone and euphonium practice book. My biggest problems is playing fast notes (16th or faster) at a consistent pace through a piece.

Thanks so much for the criticism, and I hope you will give more as I add more videos.
