Warm Ups
Breathing exercises
Deep, long breaths
Try blowing paper on wall, and the “teddy on tummy” games.
Rhythms
Remember how we write the notes :
short (1 beat)
long (2 beats)
rest (1 beat)
Buzz these rhythms using just the mouthpiece
Make up some rhythms of your own and write them down.
Play our first two notes
Slide closed “1st position” - the note ‘F’
This is the note we’ve been playing in class.
(Listen to sound clip 1 to make sure you are
playing the right note)
Make sure the note doesn’t come out too high.
If it does, try turning down the corners of your mouth.
Or make your lower lip go a bit floppier when buzzing.
Slide in “3rd position” - the note E flat
Buzz like for ‘F’ but with the slide here.
It sounds a bit lower than the F.
Practice making this note sound nice.
(Listen to sound clip 2)
