Wind instruments require breath efficiency, embouchure control, intonation awareness, and phrasing decisions. This applies across flute, reed, and brass pathways.
Foundations
- Breath support and airflow consistency.
- Embouchure/reed/mouthpiece setup.
- Long-tone practice for pitch and tone stability.
- Articulation and phrase shaping.
First 30 Days
- Daily long tones and controlled interval slurs.
- Basic scale fragments with metronome.
- Short etude and one repertoire excerpt.
Progress Check
By week 4 you should hold stable tone across your core register and perform a short phrase with consistent articulation.
