This clinic addresses the seven most fundamental, but often neglected problems that low brass students and their teachers face. Most of the playing difficulties that low brass players in high school and college deal with have very benign beginnings in earlier band experiences. Designed for band directors, studio teachers and performers, this presentation will offer practical suggestions on preventing and correcting these issues before they have dire effects on musician's “musical life.”
