***By the way - if you are still trying to
decide
which instrument
to play, CLICK HERE
for some helpful advice!
These videos are the very beginning videos for students learning
to play instruments. Students should NOT try to download or
play these videos without parent's help and permission.
I HIGHLY encourage students to view and practice with these
videos during their first couple weeks playing their instrument.
For the best video experience, click on or download the MP4
video format. To download, right-click on the link below and select
"Save Target As". Save the file to your computer and use QuickTime
player from Apple or another program capable of playing MP4 files.
Windows Media Player might be able to play MP4's, but your best
bet is
the QuickTime Player.
Parents can get a free QuickTime Player here:

For a smaller file select the Real Media video format. Although this is
a smaller file, it is a much lower quality video, and you must have
the Real Player program available on your computer.
