Text Box white space

Problem: Too much white space when using Text Block.

I am adding a title using h1 format and subtext using paragraph format to the very top of my homepage. Right under this “Text Block” I use the slider. There is a ton of white space before my h1 title and after the subtext before the next section (slider) begins.

Question: How do I reduce white space on my homepage when using “Text Block”? Is there a better alternative to inserting a title on my page that will save on white space?
