This is a practical guide for teaching beginner brass, explaining some basic principles in a user-friendly, jargon-free way. There are books available that explain the physics and physiology of brass playing, but it’s usually helpful to explain complex principles in simple language, especially when teaching young students. So if you don’t know your glottis from your epiglottis and don’t know whether the diaphragm is a muscle, a membrane or a muscular membrane (if there is such a thing), this guide may be for you.
