There are so many more trumpets out there than the Bb trumpet you might regularly see. They vary in shape, size, key, and all have a unique history! Bdr Colin W...illiams would like to welcome you to the trumpet family! La famille des trompettes La trompette en si bémol, celle que l’on a l’habitude de voir, est loin d’être la seule trompette qui existe. En effet, il existe différents modèles de trompettes. Leurs tailles sont différentes et leurs tonalités varient également. De plus, elles ont toutes une histoire unique! Le Bdr Colin Williams vous accueille dans la famille des trompettes!

Creating a good sound on the flute isn’t always the hardest part! You also have to think about what your tongue is doing and how to use it. Maybe it’s too high ...or too low or just in the way! This is a challenging part of playing the flute so Sgt Grace Baker is here to help us out with some tips on flute tonguing. Produire un beau son à la flûte n’est pas toujours l’élément le plus difficile! Vous devez aussi songer à ce que fait votre langue et comment l’utiliser. Peut-être est-elle placée trop haut ou trop bas, ou elle fait simplement obstruction! C’est un aspect difficile de l’art de la flûte, alors le sgt Grace Baker est là pour nous donner des conseils sur la technique du coup de langue. facebook.com/rcaband instagram.com/thercaband https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRoyalCanadianArtilleryB/videos

What do you think of when you see a tuba? Probably how low it can play, right? It can be hard to hear what’s going on down there in the low range of the tuba an...d other low brass instruments, like trombone and euphonium. In this video, we will take you through some steps to train your ears to listen. À quoi pensez-vous quand vous voyez un tuba? Probablement à la note la plus basse qu’il peut produire, n’est-ce pas? Il peut être difficile d’entendre ce qui se passe dans le registre le plus bas du tuba et des autres cuivres graves, comme le trombone et l’euphonium. Dans cette vidéo, nous vous accompagnerons lors des différentes étapes visant à entraîner votre oreille à cette écoute. https://www.facebook.com/rcaband/ https://www.instagram.com/thercaband/ https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRoyalCanadianArtilleryBand
