I would like to improve my lip position or how I place the mouth piece on my month when I play. This will greatly improve my playing ability. It will allow me to play with a better sound, play longer and play higher notes. I would like to improve my counting so that when I am playing I play more accurately, and I don't play the music too slowly or too quickly, especially when I am playing in Symphonic or Community band. Mentor or Instructor of lessons, camp, class, or workshop will evaluate the student artist and report back to R2AC.
To change my lip position, I have been buzzing my lip on my mouth piece while putting as little pressure as possible on my lips. The goal was to put less pressure on my top lip and put more pressure on my bottom lip which Paul said is the correct lip position. I am now able to play simple songs with low notes in this lip position. To improve my rhythm, Del and Paul have been working with me to coordinate my foot tapping with the metronome. This has improved my rhythm.
