I'm old fashioned about all beginners. I treat them like
Mendez did.
They buzz simple songs before they ever
pick up the horn. This helps to build some muscle strength
and control without adding bad habits.
I know that they
want to play and will try however if you insist on 20 - 30
minutes of buzzing a player with 1 week of experience will
out play anyone elses' 1 month player.
It forces them to learn a closed setting which helps range, tone, and endurance. Let them use buzzing practice after every playing session for a couple of months and you will be shocked at the results.
