Stars & Stripes Practice Suggestions

[@nancydellacroce6425]

Loved your video. Finally real instructions. I have been playing piccolo for years and also Stars & Stripes and I just don’t think I play it well. I think I have a lot of bad habits over the course of the years where my fingers just stumble. I will try to relearn it with your recommendations thank you.

Thank you. I passed this on to my granddaughter. I got a lot of tips also. Thanks

Any tips for when lips buzz on the high notes? I try to keep my embouchure relaxed but still sometimes end up buzzing. This is my 3rd year playing it with my town's community band, but I'm coming off of a year of not playing due to undergoing cancer treatments and now it's buzzing. I never used to buzz the top notes. I still have the speed and everything (need to work on the lightness of the tongue...never thought about that before!) but my embouchure isn't what it used to be.

I struggle with the high B flat repetition. I usually hyper ventilate and run out of steam.
