Building a formidable instrumental music program at all levels requires a discipline of basic fundamental exercises with an organized approach to its implementation. Incorporating breathing, singing, long tones, and a battery of other effective strategies designed for your student's strengths and weaknesses will improve motivation, efficiency and ultimately musical success.
