The Low Notes
These are the 7 lowest notes on your instrument.
Starting on C and working down in semitones.
Click the yellow arrows to hear the notes and try to match them on your instrument
Relax your lips as you go down.
Trumpets: Try to remember the fingerings in order - it's a really useful pattern:
Trombones: It's a bit easier for you - just push your slide out a bit further for each note.
Use your ears!
