Matthew,

Your sound is really coming along! Just remember to always take full breaths before playing to get a consistent sound.

For next week try to practice three times for 15-20 minutes. If you don’t have time for a full practice try to get a few minutes buzzing on your mouthpiece to work on getting your endurance back.

Warm up: Ear training exercise No. 1–remember don’t sing through your horn but remove it enough to be able to sing the note using the “Too” syllable.

Scales: Bb major and F major (look at the scale sheets attached for reminders)

Studies: Review numbers 3 and 4 and work on getting a consistent and confident sound. Look at number 5 and focus on your slide technique.

See you next week!
