Eliza:

Remember to keep good posture! Sit at the edge of your chair with your feet flat on the ground. keep your head balanced.

Start doing a bit of freebuzzing (buzzing without the horn or mouthpiece) as part of your warmup every day

Continue work on slurring through middle and third space C’s. remember, in order to make the C more accessible, aim beyond it.

Make sure to maintain contact between the bottom lip/teeth and the mouthpiece.

Think of breathing and then playing as one large gesture.

Keep up the good work of moving through your range and using focused air.

Be sure to find your band music this week!

Happy Practicing!
