Yannick Demonstrates Dynamic Resonance

Two weeks ago, one of my trombone students came in and said that he could show me how his posture (what I call Dynamic Stability) could influence his sound quality. Since we'd been working on this for the past month, I was delighted to see that some of the ideas were taking hold and making sense for him. Because his demonstration was so clear and easy to hear and see, I took a short video and added my commentary. The quality isn't great but it gets the point accross.

Let me know what you think, and all the best,

Reading List

Brian Frederiksen: Arnold Jacobs: Song and Wind
Part biography and part description of Jacob's teaching philosophy and teaching wisdom. I refer to this book when preparing breathing lessons for musicians.
Sam Pilafian & Patrick Seridan: Breathing Gym, The
Interesting and useful breathing exercises. Some of the exercises may need to be modified for younger students.
Oliver Sachs: Musicophillia
Enjoyable read on neurology and music.
Kristian Steenstrup: Teaching Brass, 2nd revised edition
An Interesting read on the theory of playing and teaching brass. I found this book to be helpful in understanding things I already sensed, had been taught and discovered for myself. Includes interesting info on the teaching of Arnold Jacobs.
