adjust the position of your lips, sometimes curling the lower one underneath helps.

How do you play Land of a 1000 Dances on the Trombone?

On my version, you rest for six measures. Then you play a high C. You play a B, a high C, a B, and a high C (you play the last four notes as sixteenth notes and you hold the last C.) Then you play a B, a high C, a B, and a high C in sixteenth notes, a B and a G as an eighth note, a B as a quarter note, and a G and an F as an eighth note. You rest for one beat and then you play a B, a high C, a B, and a high C again as a sixteenth note, an F as a quarter note, and a D as an eighth note. Then you play E flat, E, E natural, and E as a sixteenth note, two F's as quarter notes, an E flat, a low C, and an F that's a half note. Then you play an E flat, an E, an E natural, and an E as a sixteenth notes, and then you play an F as a quarter note. You rest for five measures and then you play a B , a high C, a B, and a high C as a sixteenth note. Then you repeat the last sixteenth note I just said.


Is a mendini baritone a good brand?

A Mendini by Cecilio baritone or euphonium is a good student instrument. Meaning it is a good instrument if you are just looking for one to play in a middle or high school band and do not plan on playing it in college. You can get a Cecilio euphonium for as little as $340 brand new so they would be very good for someone that is planning on playing in school but not professionally. If you are planing on being a professional or going to play in college you probably want to wait and buy a really good compensating euphonium with a brand name like Besson; but they will cost around $6,000 - $7,000 brand new and around $3,000 for one that a couple years old.

How do you play an ophicleide?

The ophicleide has approximately the same range as the euphonium which replaced it, and a similar type of mouthpiece. However, unlike the euphonium, which has piston valves that lower the pitch of the instrument to fill in the gaps between the notes of the natural harmonic series, the ophicleide has between 9 and 12 keys, similar to those of a saxophone, which raise it. The ophicleide differs from the saxophone, however, in that all but one of the the keys are closed when not in use. The fingering pattern is not such as to make sense to a woodwind player, but is analagous to the use of the valve combinations of modern brass.

G sharp is the same as A flat which is 1st valve. If it's the high g sharp above f you should be tightening your lips. If it's the low one below low A you should be widening your lips from each other.


Is a euphonium heavy or light?

well it really depends on how strong you are. when you first hold it it seems quite heavy but trust me i have been playing one for many years and it is actually much lighter. so really there is no definite answer but if i am completely honest the case for one is heavier than the actual thing so if you pick up the case and get scared then dont be because the euphonium isn't actually that heavy. (it is definitely harder to play standing up though because of its weight so do be aware)
