The "MAESTRO" Instructional Video Series is designed to give you an overview of important information about your new instrument and to show you the various skills you will need to develop as you learn to play. These instructional tapes and booklet are in no way intended to take the place of a Band or Orchestra Director, private teacher or method book. Our intention is to help aspiring students and other beginners to get a good start and establish a solid foundation for study. These videos can be used along with classroom studies and private lessons.
Each "MAESTRO" Instructional program will take the student through: Unpacking, assembly, instrument nomenclature, care & maintenance, posture, hand positions, breathing (for wind instruments), notes, reading music, playing the instrument, and many more topics.
