Alan:
- Continue work on chromatic warmups exercises
- Practice your scales over a drone
- When the notes move up, aim airstream downward and vice versa
- Spend a couple of minutes of most practice days focusing on just starting notes
- Work on the German Dance from the Mason Jones book
Emma:
- Play the horn every day if possible, even if it only for 5 minutes
- Try to bring your horn into school so you have a bit more consistency. If this is not possible, make sure to at least use the same mouthpiece at school and at home
- Continue buzzing exercises
- if you are having trouble getting a clear sound use the spit valve trick
- Play things by ear, have part of your practice be fun exploration of the sounds you can make with the horn
Happy Practicing!
