Band News and Announcements

Brass Mouthpieces – High School and 7th-8th Grade

Mr. VanStrien

 

In a survey of trumpet, trombone and baritone players we noticed that many students were still playing on a beginners mouthpiece. The beginner mouthpiece is designed for producing the first notes but does not allow for advanced range or increased air support. Student and their parents should strongly consider upgrading their mouthpiece. It will produce a cleaner and more vibrant tone and benefit not only the student but the entire band as a whole.

The following mouthpieces are available from Meyer Music however you may purchase them from your choice of retailer as well. Bach is the preferred brand however the also offer a generic brand as well. We would be happy to place an order through school to Meyer Music if the student brings in the money in an envelope for us.

This could make a great gift!

Trumpet Mouthpieces

Bach 3C $52.95 

Generic 3C $28.95

Trombone/Euphonium Mouthpieces

Bach 6 1/2AL $69.95
