One thought on “AS 132 – Instrument Placement”
Hi there. I know this is an old episode, but I’m just getting caught up.
Do you have the kids try the whole instrument, or just mouthpiece (I know you said headjoint only on flute)? Some of my colleagues only try kids on mouthpieces, but I think that some kids need to have that back pressure and resistence from the instrument before they “get” what they’re supposed to be doing. Plus, the tester and the student don’t get a true feel for the instrument with mouthpiece only.
