I'M SQUEAKING

There are three reasons you may be squeaking

1. You are blowing too hard

2. You didn't seal your holes (check for full moons on your fingers)

3. You have the wrong fingering. Check the fingering chart!

I CAN'T PLAY THE RHYTHM

If you can't read the rhythm, break it down by speaking it on Ta and Ta di first. Review your rhythms here or here

I CAN'T READ THE NOTES

If you can't read the notes, write them in! Also, try reading the music using letter names, then practice the fingerings while saying the letter names.

If you are writing all your notes in, review them here or here
