Low Brass Studies & Etudes

It is important that students warm up (at least 15 minutes) before their lesson.

Please also be sure the instrument is properly oiled so we don’t lose time getting the instrument to work properly.

Students should have a three-ring binder devoted to the material they will use in their studies and are expected to bring it to their lessons.

These are used to keep track of daily practice and specify weekly assignments. Students should have a blank one available for every lesson. These are double sided PDFs, so if you print double-sided, one page will work for two lessons.
