What’s so special about brass instruments?
Brass instruments differ from other instruments because the player must create each note with their breath and lips. With other instruments, it is obvious which note is being playing simply by looking at the instrument. However, with brass instruments, this isn’t the case. A trombone player can produce several different notes without adjusting their instrument at all. A player must have the skills to ‘hear’ and know how to create each note before they can play confidently.
Eliminate bad playing habits before they form.
Every person physical and mental differences. Everyone will face different challenges when trying to mastering a musical instrument. A good teacher will tailor lessons to address a student’s individual needs. It is essential to find a good teacher early to avoid developing bad playing habits.
