Why Learn Baritone at NewSongs Madison Ave?
Producing a rich, unforced sound on low brass instruments requires significant lung capacity and relaxed embouchure control. At our Madison Ave campus, students develop their foundational tone using the
Al Cass Fast Valve Oil, ensuring their instrument's valves move silently and instantly. This mechanical reliability allows students to focus entirely on their breath control and musical phrasing without fighting sluggish equipment.
Our baritone curriculum integrates the
Rubank Advanced Method, aligning with the expectations of the
California Music Education Standards (Arts Standards – Music, Grade 6-8, Anchor Standard 5: Developing and Refining Artistic Techniques). We ensure our low brass students are fully literate in both bass and treble clef, preparing them to seamlessly anchor the low end of the San Juan Unified School District concert bands.
What You'll Learn
