In this Weekend Update: We continue our Absolute Beginners video series! We now have percussion, flute, and saxophone videos live.

These are short videos that will reinforce what a beginner has already learned in class but may have not fully absorbed. The goal is to minimize lost practice time between classes so the player can maintain enthusiasm and learn faster.

The first two lessons cover topics like:

Removing the instrument from the case (and putting it back!)

Assembly

Lubrication

Posture

Making a sound

Other tips and tricks that are instrument specific
