"On the Town" "Times Square" bass trombone

Post by baBposaune »

Starting in bar 25 of the "Times Square 1944" bass part...best places to breathe?

Not a rhetorical question!

Thanks,

Everywhere. Seriously.

This is a perfect example if why I practice and teach sniff breathing. Get a little bit of air through your nose every 2 notes or so, and start right away so you're never actually depleted.

Thanks, Gabe. I'd been dropping a note here and there and I felt like I was cheating! I've still got time to practice the sniff breaths before the performance tonight.
