Lecture (Technique Building)

"What's Up with Low G?"

Presenter: Catherine Roche-Wallace

Is the G below middle C a struggle? Does it lose focus and strength compared to other notes in the mid range?

This presentation will explore the special difficulties horn players face in transitioning from the high to the low range (and back) and some techniques to use to help students including visualization, demonstration, and audiation. Let's come together and figure out what's up!
