Class Instruction Brass and Percussion




Every morning 32 eager young musicians bound into the music suite to develop their instrumental skills. Period one finds the trumpets learning how to do mouthpiece buzzing and lip slurs to strengthen the embouchure. The section has been assigned to six collaborative groups to work on ensembles. In the second picture you see "Group A" performing for the class. During low brass / percussion class time is spent working together as one group and seperately as sections. Students are working on solos and ensembles, as well as mallet and stick technique for the percussionists and embouchure and range building for the brass.

It's a great way to start each day!
