During high school, I would help beginner students that have never made a sound on an instrument learn the basics of what the instrument parts do, how to blow/buzz on the mouthpiece, and how to read music and play the instrument along with the music.

I like to ask students about what music they like, and what they would like to do--play in a school talent show? Read More
