Performance: Working with Beginners - SBO - 0 views

  • Breaking it down allows you to make kids comfortable, give them confidence, and, most importantly, not practice mistakes.
  • intellectualizing, listening, and blowing
  • Intellectualizing means thoroughly understanding the constructs of music –rhythmically, melodically, idiomatically, and tonally – before attempting the final product.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • It is also important for students to practice with a model and without a model. I give them a model about 50 percent of the time. In the very beginning, when it’s only three or four notes, the rhythm is not usually a problem
  • Thumbs up means “I got it, let’s go.” Thumbs sideways means “Almost, I need another pass.” Thumbs down means “I’m lost!”

      This method works as feedback. I use them currently in my school.
  • Audiation is the musical voice inside your head, something like your musical imagination
  • Professional brass players use rebreather bags, incentive spirometers, and other tools to create an air model and to increase lung capacity
  • Children are used to taking conversational breaths; we need to teach them to breathe like musicians
  • For the inspiration I recommend using a breathing tube – basically a ½ to ¾-inch piece of PVC coupling
  • I use “sizzling” and “long tones.” Sizzling is great because you have the students create a natural resistance that simulates what it is like playing the horn
  • Long tones are very important to the development of a good sound
