    The document discusses the importance of teaching breathing exercises to young brass players for 5 minutes at the start of lessons. It recommends interval training that alternates between 30-60 seconds of buzzing notes and 1 minute of rest. This helps improve tone, endurance, and eliminates dead spots. The document advocates for "glissing" and "target buzzing" during intervals and strongly recommends these breathing techniques to improve brass playing.

    • breathing exercises can be integrated into rest periods
    • two types of buzzing
     when the student slides through notes
     Benefits:

    “GLISSING”  greatly improve the ear


     eliminate “dead spots”
     insure a great buzz response
    when the student moves through
    defined pitches

    TARGET
    BUZZING

    Benefits:
    help build better response from
    improves pitch
    relationship between low brass
    accuracy
