In Part 1, I talk about my own experiences and address various ways a person may have come to play trombone, either self-motivated or inspired by any number of reasons. I also speak about how regular practice sessions can be introduced in an inspiring way, with the spirit of the music being integrated during this early playing time.
In Part 2, I get specific about when to introduce more discipline and certain exercises to the young student. I also stress the importance of the teacher's attitude when working with the student and how to introduce healthy habits without stress. A first look at the Overlay System is introduced at this time, as well.
In Part 3, I get even more specific about the needs of of the student at this stage of playing. I also encourage young players to listen to music of all kinds or, at least, kinds they like. The importance of "analogy" is stressed a great deal in this video and I give numerous examples of how to do it.

I hope you get lots of 'hits' with these seminars as they are all inspirational both in terms of playing and behaving as a human being. I have watched and listened to every one of your frequency bone videos. Long may they continue in years to come.
Part of my teaching now is teaching 30 children for an hour on cornet or trombone. The biggest challenge is to encourage these young people to practise at home. I would be very interested in receiving any advice on how to show parents the importance of playing an instrument as many of them will not allow their child to take their instrument home.
