*It truly doesn't matter which brass instrument you play: TRUMPET, TROMBONE, FRENCH HORN, BARITONE, EUPHONIUM, TUBA. When it comes to getting back on your horn, the strategy and practice is the same for all brass players and is included in this course.
*This 20 week course also gives you warm up and practice strategies.
*Each week has a video by me for you to watch. 20 Videos Lessons in All!
*I introduce new techniques, tell you EXACTLY how to practice including HOW LONG to practice each day!
*PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS: This is a momentum based course up until Week 10. Daily practice starts out at 15 minutes a day and gradually increases to 1 hour a day by Week 10. After Week 10,you have the option to continue staying at 1 hour of practice each day, but you also have the freedom to move up to 2 hours a day if you were so inclined.
*The course also suggest the appropriate book for all instruments so whether you play trumpet, trombone, french horn, baritone, or tuba, the appropriate book will be suggested for you and exactly what exercises need to be practiced out of that particular book.
***PLUS tons of Bonus Videos regarding innovative techniques at the end of many of the weekly video lessons.
***If you just think of it in terms of 20 "live" lessons with a professional, then you know you would likely have to pay close to $1000 just for those lessons with a local professional brass teacher in your area...AND those lessons would be general, shotgun non-specific lessons. This is what makes this course a very smart investment because you get all 20 lessons with Kurt plus the complete 20 week VIDEO guide and strategy to ensure your come back to the horn is a success. In each video lesson, Kurt talks, teaches, and demonstrates EXACTLY what you need to do.
Imagine being in a classroom and getting 80% of the materials down and understood, but being nagged by the 20% you couldn't quite absorb, BUT having a complete recording of every class discussion so that you could sift through that 20% for another look at home and at your leisure. It means you WILL be successful coming back to your horn and on to having fun with playing, practicing, and maybe even performing in some of your local ensembles.
This is a very well thought out design and strategy for the Comeback Player!
At this stage in your life, you have figured this out: Your time on the planet is about QUALITY not quantity. It's time to start making every day count in your life. This course will be a tremendous push in the direction of quality and enjoyment!
