Hi there!

Today I've noticed I didn't share with you guys the newest achievement of our band, World Jazz Collective.

We have a new video up, with "Balkano", tune that you already heard here on Newgrounds.

Mihai Sorohan (aka sorohanro) - Trumpet

Lady Albatross - Alto Saxophone

Håvar Skaugen - Tenor Saxophone

Tobias Lamberg Torjusen - Trombone

Dale Rothenberg - Piano

Torbjørn Hillersøy - Bass Guitar

Mikael Chauvet Jørgensen - Drums

Recorded at Beatstone Studio, Bergen in 2020 by Arne Wilhelmsen.

Mixed by Mihai Sorohan.

For quite a while I had the idea to make these video tutorials, been teaching with the materials I wrote for almost 10 years already, so, why not use them in videos?

This is a post where I'll put all of the tutorials, for reference.

Lesson 1

Sound emission, playing middle C (actual sound is a B♭ on a B♭ Trumpet) and first melody; "Rock the Blues".

Lesson 2

Holding correctly the instrument, playing middle D (actual sound is a C on a B♭ Trumpet) and second melody using the two notes; "Brassically Funk!".

Lesson 3

Playing a new note, B and a new reggae melody; "So Much for the Reggae".

Lesson 4

Playing E and a new Halloween themed tune; "Trumpetmare"

Lesson 5

In this lesson we consolidate playing E.

Lesson 6

In which we learn to play F and with that we play "We Will Rock You" by Queen:

Additional video

Choosing an instrument; types of instruments, brands, models and prices.

Soon to follow more videos in this very news-post.

I'm happy to announce that I made a new tune and video. Video is made by Citrina.

The song is based on the Ukrainian folk chant "Shchedryk" and is in the public domain.

Arranged, performed, recorded and mixed by Mihai Sorohan/ sorohanro in December 2019.

Cheers and Merry Christmas!

My second collaboration with Martin C. Winer is up on YouTube. Now is your chance to see me playing piccolo trumpet (upper corner left):

Hi there

I had a collaboration with the arranger Martin C. Winer who made a very nice brass arrangement for "Uv'nucho Yomar", sometimes spelled "Uvenucho Yomar", by composer Louis Lewandowski. I played all the instruments.

Enjoy ;)

I'm happy to announce we finished production to my new video, Splash!, which you've heard here on Newgrounds too, now arranged for jazz big-band.

It features another newgrounder, Lady Albatross on alto and tenor saxophones, and the video is made by Citrina.

Hi there
There are some really awesome musicians here on Newgrounds, so, to make them known in a cheerful "christmassy" way, I decided to make a playlist with Christmas songs, carols, instrumental tunes inspired by Christmas or just winter.
heck it out here:
https://www.newgrounds.com/playlists/view/1a0d3a5a7d2e1604f3f4b53af8669029

It includes names like Hania, Troysnix, SineRider, BOUNC3, Evil-Dog, Jazza...etc

You can also help me complete the list by posting your favorite Christmas tracks here:

Cheers and merry Christmas!

Just for me, as a reference; awesome music videos:

this one has more of a pop-meh music, but the video is like a movie:

and THIS !!! oh boy... this:

this one is good;

look at these colors and how cinematic can look a music performance in the right light:

And here's one for the comic books fans:

and the master himself at it:
 

WHO WANTS TO LEARN TO PLAY TRUMPET?

I started, as part of my job, to write some trumpet tutorials. Those are targeted very wide to kids from 6 to 20 years old.
Are you interested? Should I start a thread updated weekly with new lessons? free music sheet, free backing tracks to practice, eventually videos and me being available to answer questions?
Can start from level 0 and we go together to level... whatever we manage. I can promise I'll make it fun to learn even if all you can play it's just one note.














If there's anyone interested, leave a comment here and I'll start it. All you need is a trumpet. You can find a cheap pocket trumpet under 90$.
