welcome everybody my name is Mr lukander and the purpose of this video is to show you four instruments for your instrument choices of being a band member so I'm going to be the truck this is a brass instrument and the way that it works is not just blowing in and putting fingers down but you have to buzz your lips to make a sound sofa it really makes puppet the boiling does not do what you have to buzz your lips nothing's going to come out but you have to buzz your lips to make some sense out now of course I'm going to change the sound by blowing harder and buzzing my WhatsApp we're going to stop and slower and buzzing slower you notice I didn't put anything down on that part but now want to do other pitches Melodies and stuff require a lot of fair so one instrument that doesn't require as much are and is actually easier to play so note wise in the beginning stages of play music is the trombone mouthpiece on this is a little bit so I can Buzz easier and then I put it in a slide on my trombone talk to see how about it's doing that all right so that's the trombone and then I'm going to show you the xylophone phone is actually this is going to be the smaller set of all the different sort of Mallet instruments are going to win and how they are this is the Glockenspiel technically and sometimes it's nickname bill but I said phone because most people going to be able to associate xylophone instead of bells instead of handles or something like that but I wanted to say that was fun just for the average person balance set up just like a piano so you can imagine The Black Keys are up here you have a student who has was doing at all and can see a pattern you're going to be okay of course they use to Mouse one in each hand is withholding the example which actually sits on the go to stand right here and then you can actually use your hands to play with xylophone one of the hard problems cuz I know phone is that there's it's different than the other ones we have to make sure that our kids can read music and play at the same time now it's a lot easier when that kid has a saxophone in their fingers are already going flute over here and they're putting her finger down there not looking at their keys every two seconds you take to go to know that on a saxophone that fingers might be finger or on a clear these three fingers go down phone that's a c have to look at their fingers the problem with their fingers aren't moving on the instrument they stay in one spot and so that way they know because you're gonna have to look down to figure out what your even though you can make an easy sound right away if that's the easy part the hard part is making sure that you are either looking at the music in front of you and I'm looking and then you're looking up and looking that it's hard so many times I will phone players will be memorizing music and looking every once in awhile to the other music so there is you going to make sure that you can have good memory or at least at least want to start off with so we can develop that the next instrument that is going to be shown here is the snare drum is not a drum set it's just one drum triple stairs right here my plant again it's easy he's going to make the sound but of course kids have to have a very good Rhythm skill you're not going to be able to play songs on your drum and I can be able to play Old MacDonald I'll play another song and you probably say what is that song well I was just playing Frosty the Snowman so you can understand that there's no Melodies played on a drum so you're going to be playing rhythms on this thing so why do kids think that drumming is easy in the beginning stages and it is but it's going to get harder as time goes on the other thing is I need to have balance in the band we can't have 50 drummers in the band that I got one trumpet player in one flute player and it's not going to work and we need to have some balance it's kind of like having a football team with everybody is a kicker or everybody is the quarterback just not going to work me to have people that have different jobs Ben so that's the four instruments the trumpet to trombone the xylophone and the snare drum I hope this has been helpful in figuring out the choice of instruments for your child and I look forward to seeing you in band thanks for watching
