1 French Horn MR. DICKSON'S METHOD FOR BAND Book To.JustinDickson.com/Band revised January 21, 2019 "Strategies That Work When Learning Ne Music" Read before you play Before you play, read through the music and say the letter names of the notes out loud. - Before you play, tizzle the rhythms. Tap your foot hile you do it, to keep a steady beat. Set up for a good first note Finger the first note before you start to play the song, before you breathe. - Breathe on the beat before you start. Breathe together to play together. While you are playing Tap your foot gently ith the beat hile you play, and count your rests. - Look ahead hile you play, so you are ready for the next thing you have to play. Use technology to help you learn When practicing at home, use a tuner app like Bandmate Chromatic Tuner (free version) to check if you are playing the right notes. - When practicing at home, use a metronome app like Tempo by Frozen Ape (free version) to make sure you are keeping a steady beat. When you get stuck on a hard part First of all, it's not hard, it's ust ne. Keep trying, you'll get better. - Find the notes that are difficult for you, and ust play them over and over. Break it don to ust 2 or 3 notes at a time, and play them as much as you can. Don't try to play the hole song yet if you really ust need to ork on a fe tricky notes in the middle. - Slo donnnnnnnn. Play it really, really, really sloly. Speed ill come later. - Say the letter names of the notes out loud. Don't ust think it, you have to say it out loud or it does not help. - Tizzle the rhythms, or say the rhythms using a "dah" syllable. - It's not about trying hard enough, it's about trying often enough. Don't try it 2 or 3 times and then give up. Your body needs more reps to learn ne things. Try it times, then move on to something else and come back to it later. - Ask for help! Your teacher gets paid the big bucks to help you. Use them!
