Low Brass 101: Building a Sound Foundation

Clinic Synopsis:

This clinic is designed to give you some simple exercises and comments to make to your students that will elicit the sounds you want to hear. Each of the items listed below will be discussed and demonstrated. Techniques for starting and switching to tuba and euphonium as well as bass trombone basics will be included. Though each of the analogies was developed while instructing beginning students, I still use them with college age students today.
