New Youtube Series!

Hi everyone!  I wanted to tell you about another Clark Media production that is now available to the public!  My fantastic euphonium colleague, Hiram Diaz, came to me in the spring with a great idea to make a new series of videos.  Hiram, like many euphonium and trombone players, has been playing the 20 Counterparts duet series written by Tom Ervin, for many years.  These are duets written to accompany the Bordogni/Rochut etudes that so many of us incorporate in to our daily practice.  The videos include Hiram performing the duet part - the player utilizing the video provides the Bordogni etude.  Hiram also has some excellent comments at the beginning of each video encompassing his performance practice and musical ideas about the piece.  To purchase the original sheet music book, Counterparts, go to Tom Ervin's official website.  

Over-Ear Headphones Recommended! This is the Counterpart to Rochut Etude #1 composed by Tom Ervin. Play along your melody to this etude! Recorded at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, VA by Chris Clark https://virtualtrombonist.com/clarkmediaproductions Counterparts available for purchase at: http://www.tom-ervin.com/

I never thought I would discuss this!?!?

This week's post feels a little gratuitous, but it's a service that I have found quite useful over the past couple of months, so much so that I have been surprised by it!  Thanks for watching and let me know if you've found this useful as well. :)

This week, I give my impressions of the new Youtube Red service and discuss a couple of very useful features that apply to musicians and fans of music alike!
