Mayumi Shimizu is a really great player. I don't really know her, but auditioned for one or two of the same universities at the same day. She was definitely on another level. And the SWR is an extremely good orchestra! There is another female trombonist in the orchestra as well. (The orchestra has been two separate ones until a few years ago, that's why they have so many trombonists)musicofnote wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 7:55 am https://www.swr.de/swr2/musik-klassik/s ... -4068.html
She's been playing solo in the orchestra since 2016, was solo trombonist from 2009 - 2012 in the Bruckner Orchestra, Linz Austria. And has degrees in Physics and Physico-Informatics at the Keio Universität in Tokyo.

This might be controversial, but I would also add Sasha Romero to this list.

Re: Women Trombonists
So I wonder where I should be found on this current theme... as a mere male trombonist but taught by a woman trombonist should this make me better or worse than I am!!! Also married to a woman cornet player... counselling clearly needed... Doug

Re: Women Trombonists
Gosh Doug - not sure how to counsel you. Do you play extra-sensitively, with a feminine touch?

Re: Women Trombonists
Nah. You’re a musician married to another musician, and you’re studying with a teacher. Everything else is distraction.

Re: Women Trombonists
Just remember: your bass trombone has more brass in it than 3 of her cornets.DougHulme wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2023 1:26 amYou are of course quite right (though that still doesent stop the 'banter' between my wife and I after all the poor girl has to play a mere cornet!!)....

Re: Women Trombonists
This is a great thread and discussion. It is pretty funny that the first entry in the Glisandoo blog says that women were not encouraged to play trombone because the embouchure needed would make you "ugly" and today people pay money for face yoga to learn exercises to keep their face looking young.
