great Youtube channels for beginning band
Check out these YouTube channels for lots of great band information, help, and play alongs. Both of these channels belong to band teachers, and these teachers have posted videos that are exactly what I teach in person.
Description from Dr. Selfridge's YouTube channel:
Welcome to Dr. Selfridge's YouTube Classroom! I am a music teacher and I post these videos to help my students learn songs. I'm a professional saxophone player, but I try to demonstrate for my students basic skills of playing all the band instruments. I hope you find these videos helpful. Your constructive comments and questions are welcome! Have fun and KEEP PRACTICING!
Mr. Glynn is a band teacher who developed his own beginning band curriculum and has several excellent how-to videos for just starting to play your instrument.
