  • How to Practice your Instrument!

    1. Use a mirror! Practice forming the correct embouchure and instrument holding positions.

    2. Check Posture - keep your back straight, sit forward in your chair, and keep your feet flat on the floor. 

    3. "How Too" Breath - Make sure you breathe in a big “how” breath before you play. When getting ready to play, breathe out “too”.

    5. Practice long tones to build on your breath support and sound quality. 

    6. Always read the music before you play: GO SLOW!

    • Look at the meter - how many beats do you count in each measure?  
    • Look and speak the rhythms (Ta, Ti-Ti). Then clap the rhythm.
    • Say the note names.
    • Say the note names as you finger them on your instrument.
    • Finally, play it SLOW!  Aim for a clear sound and correct fingerings.

    7. Listen to professional musicians on your instrument!
