Your favorite trombone education online?

[MStarke]

What are your favorite pieces of trombone-related education online? (Thinking mostly about videos)

Some that I enjoyed:
- Many of the Michael Davis interviews at Youtube (and also his paid material at hip bone u)
- Paid videos at mymusicmasterclass.com They currently seem to have some with Bill Reichenbach, Andy Martin and Francisco Torres. Fair pricing in my opinion
- The Phil Teele videos that someone uploaded at Youtube (search for Phil Teele-Advanced Embouchure Studies Day One)
- Many of the Brass Junkies videos have great pieces of advice in them (and are often hilarious overall)
- Bob Reeves Brass/Trombone Corner podcast or videos: Generally interesting, with quite some educational value
- 8vbebop videos at Youtube (with Chris Glassman). Again overall interesting videos, with good educational input
- Of course Aidan Ritchie's channel. Hidden between the equipment stuff there is quite a bit of interesting educational stuff, e.g. masterclass recaps
- Some (!) of the "Paul the trombonist" videos, e.g. a very interesting video with Alan Kaplan regarding trombone recording. (Overall not my favorite channel)
- Some other videos, excerpts from masterclasses etc also from other instruments

Some other sources that come to my mind:
- Jay Friedman's and Doug Yeo's websites
- David Brubeck's Seven Positions interviews

Mr. Friedman’s articles on his website.

Favorite? Probably Toby Oft's videos. Also James Markey.

Definitely, already had them in my list.

Absolutely! I also watched some of that before. Both are great musicians and educators.

Although I did have a few contrary thoughts (which may not be too relevant anyway), for example I really liked James Markey's video on the differences between bass, tenor and alto.

This Peter Steiner warm up approach really hit the spot for me and changed my whole approach to warming up to a much more fluid, improvisatory and creative approach;

I joined Brad Edwards' email list for monthly deliveries of The Bone Zone. He always includes several etudes/exercises which are great along with some written content which is also excellent.

I also regularly revisit a few older videos on Alan Raph's YouTube channel. He's got one dedicated to low register attacks which I've found to be incredibly effective. I do it almost everyday now.

If you are jazz player Shawn Bell’s YouTube channel is really good!

The Trombone Retreat podcast is another great listen if you like podcasts.

Christian Lindberg's 2019 Tokyo Recital -

Watching this in relief to the Tchaikovsky Competition recordings was an entire education on its own terms.

Ian Bousfield's podcast also has a ton of good info.

I like this video of Alexey Lobikov, the winner of the Tchaikovsky Competition 2019:

I couldn't believe the show he put on in 2022. COVID was still a concern in Japan so it was unfortunately undersold and under-advertised, but my goodness it was a good show. Not a single piece from any of his recordings. All new pieces he either wrote or were newly arranged by Pontinen, the pianist and partner in crime.

He ended with an encore, a Swedish love song, some song called "Så skimrande var aldrig havet", for alto trombone alone. Just a simple melody. And I guess the last lyric goes:

"You drowned all my sorrows in your first kiss"

But on the last note, instead of playing it, he just blows a kiss to the audience. Whole place went absolutely nuts.

I really enjoy the Trombone Etude of the Week Facebook group. Although most videos aren't done by "big name" players, it is refreshing to hear other interpretations of etudes I've worked on over the years. Listening to others is very inspirational for me...and there are SO many wonderful trombonists in that group sharing their work.
