Playing the Long Game: Planning Beyond Beginning Band with Your Beginning Brass Students

Clinic Synopsis:

We often teach our beginning brass students how to be successful as beginners. Will their success scale up? We often leave that to the next teacher, but new research suggest that the specific way that we start our students will have a profound impact on their later success. I discuss common beginning pedagogy and showcase potential limitations. I will introduce specific and applicable tips for beginning band educators that will help prepare young brass players for more long-term success.
