Class Experience

Beginner - Intermediate Level
In this class we will learn the basics of piccolo playing. We will cover topics such as embouchure, breathing, playing in tune, instrument care and maintenance, phrasing, and technique. 

Each meeting will feature opportunities for students to ask specific questions and to play for each other. This will help give everyone a chance to get what they need from the class and to gain confidence in their performance abilities. The instructor will also spend some time in each class lecturing about a specific topic related to piccolo playing. We will also work on band music based on student requests.

Overall, this is meant to be a fun, helpful, and supportive learning environment. 

As this class runs continuously, here is an outline of what will be covered every 5 weeks:

Week of December 1 - Topic 1: Piccolo basics. Setting up the instrument, cleaning and care, embouchure, tone exercises
Week of December 8 - Topic 2: Tuning. How can I play more in tune? What are notes to look out for?
Week of December 15 - Topic 3: Range. Building an even sound throughout the low, middle, and high registers
Week of December 22 - Topic 4: Tone. How to make the piccolo sound beautiful

Learning Goals

Students will learn techniques and fingerings that are specific to the piccolo.
Students will improve their tone and tuning on the piccolo.
