Hi everyone! We had a great first day of lessons yesterday. The brass beginner group was energetic and could not wait to try out their instruments. The 2nd floor hallway echoed with all kinds of fun sounds!
Homework for the Beginner Brass Students:
1. Practice buzzing on the mouthpiece. Remember to keep the corners of your mouth tight and don't puff your cheeks! Once you get a consistent buzzing sound, try to master the "Duck" and "Ambulance" sounds.
2. Practice holding your instrument properly. Refer to the beginning pages of your book to check position.
* The trumpet students should be holding the instrument steady and securely with the left hand. The right hand rests gently on top with correct finger placement on top of the valves.
Homework for Intermediate Student:
Essential Elements Book page 13 # 57-58, page 28 # 149-150, practice C scale
Looking forward to next week's lessons!
~ Mrs. Sharon Ferrio
