QUESTION 6 OF 30

Describe how you would help a trumpeter who is struggling with tonguing.

Sometimes, a band director needs to simplify things for a student. With this example, the interviewer wants to see your techniques come to play. Give clear feedback in how you would handle this situation for best results.

"Tonguing can be a hard concept to grasp for beginning students. When it comes to a trumpeter, I would have them practice just on the mouth piece first, to get the handle of this technique. Then, they could eventually add it to the rest of the instrument after they have the pactice down."
