Resources for student

Post by tubapower »

Hi all, I have an 11 year old tuba student who is extremely promising, and is looking to take his ABRSM Grade 6 very soon. His handle on the rep is brilliant but I've started to work on areas where he can improve his technique, focusing on keeping a solid embouchure in the upper register, directing air flow and general breathing exercises. Although he is responsive in lessons I'd like to provide him with exercises and ideas to practice inbetween lessons. I only teach him about once a month so it's very important he is kept busy whilst I'm not there. If anyone has any suitable ideas or resources they have previously used please let me know

Thanks in advance :-)

I highly recommend Brass Gym and Breathing Gym (which won the 2009 EMMY for Excellence in Informational/Instructional Production).
