2 Parent s Guide For The Young Musician s Practice Experience The Environment of Practice This is the first step a parent must take to ensure a successful practice session Parent Practice What can you do to assist your child? The Sounds of Practice 1 There are several sounds that you should be hearing when your child is practicing Helpful Tools Tools that can truly enhance your child s practice experience The Sounds of Practice 2 What you should NOT hear Online Resources Online links that can help you and your child achieve!
3 The Environment of Practice 1) Relaxed and quiet Similar to studying any other academic subject, practicing an instrument is a mental process. The practice environment should be as similar to a library as possible, except that your child can make lots of good sounds here.!
4 The Environment of Practice 2) Correct Temperature The temperature range of degrees is needed for the wind instrument to have the best chance to play in tune, with a temperature of 72 degrees being ideal.
5 The Environment of Practice 3) Sturdy Chair and Music Stand It is vital that the child s practice space allow them to sit or stand in the same position they do in band class. A sturdy chair is important to help them sit in the correct posture. The child should never have to bend over to read their music, and a practice stand will allow the student to view their music exactly as they do on band class.
6 The Environment of Practice 4) Use a Mirror It is imperative that students always check their embouchure to ensure it is being formed correctly, as this concept will be covered in class and illustrations often occur in the beginning of most band method books. A locker mirror or other small mirror on their music stand will work well.
7 The Sounds of Practice 1) The Beeping of a metronome There is NO better tool for tempo control! For home practice, students should use a metronome 95% of the time. This will help them keep steady tempo. Tempo Standard Timing Technical Control Consistency Ensemble Practice
8 The Sounds of Practice 2) Counting and Clapping Counting out rhythms (like learning to read words) and then combining those rhythms with steady tempo will help your child develop motor skills and learn the concept of simultaneous responsibilities. Please make sure your child is counting rhythms aloud Use the 1, 2, 3, 4 system Basics In Rhythm is a wonderful resource! Add clapping to counting Use 1 e + a for complex rhythms Use a metronome
9 The Sounds of Practice 3) Note-naming Students should be saying the note names out loud while reading the staff lines of music for class. This should also be done with a metronome, and ultimately, while fingering or positioning the notes being spoken. Start by learning/reviewing the musical alphabet, and here are two great Note Trainer is a fantastic resource, and it s free! resources: Note Trainer and Musictheory.net Say the notes names out loud in time with rhythm Add fingerings while singing the notes or counting the rhythms to promote simultaneous responsibility. Let s practice an example on the next slide:
10 The Sounds of Practice 3a) Application of Note Naming Review the notes and rhythm Say the notes names out loud with rhythm using a slow to moderate tempo Add fingerings to note naming Finally, use air and finger to practice consistency, then play music full out Practicing a little each day will ensure greater ability!
11 The Sounds of Practice 4) Essential Sounds Breathing: Air exercises, Breathing Gym, number system of breathing Stretch and Flap (for brass players) Using mouthpiece/headjoint: Students should be working on their sound with Breathing Gym is the best lung development program out there! just the mouthpiece, mouthpiece and barrel, or head joint. This sound might be slightly irritating (especially with beginners), but it is crucial to their development of correct embouchure and tone quality. They should work for a steady sound that does not waver. Use long tones to achieve this goal.
12 The Sounds of Practice 4) Long Tones The first sounds a student should make on their assembled instrument should be long and smooth tones. This will greatly enhance tone quality over time. Their tone quality is one of the most important aspects of learning their instrument during the early years. Remington s and Flow Studies really help tone quality! Again, they should work for a steady sound that does not waver. Playing into a tuner with an open and relaxed sound, and keeping the needle perfectly steady can REALLY help achieve this.
13 The Sounds of Practice 2 This is what the parents should NOT hear! Just the Music? Silence.
14 PARENT Practice What can you do to assist your child? Make every attempt to ensure you are helping your child practice the correct way, with a good quality instrument, emulating the band program s philosophy and regimen. All parents can help their child practice by doing any or all of the following: Create A Healthy Environment Being involved is a great way to promote high quality learning! Scheduled Times Performances At Home Ask Questions Observe Your Child Practice The quality of daily home practice time directly impacts their playing level on their instruments!
15 Helpful Tools Tools that can truly enhance your child s practice experience Most importantly, your child must have a quality horn with supplies, as these and other tools can help your child s practice experience to be the best it can be: Cleaning Care Kit Valve Oil Tuning Slide Grease Soft Cloth Mouthpiece Brush Flex Brush or Snake Other Tools Metronome Pencil Mirror Wire Music Stand Practice doesn t make perfect, PERFECT practice makes perfect!"
