Eye of the Tiger

Rock anthem music is all about power, determination, and pushing forward. The guitars hit with sharp, driving riffs, the drums pound with steady intensity, and the rhythm builds a feeling of strength. Every sound works together to create energy, focus, and that unstoppable ‘never give up’ attitude.

Eye of the Tiger from Rocky Brass Quintet

4-4-8 Breathing

1. Breath in through your mouth for a count of 4 beats.

2. Hold your breath for a count of 4 beats.

3. Release your breath through your mouth for a count of 8 beats.

4. Without a break, breath in again for a count of 4, repeating the entire technique 3-4 times in a row.

Focus on counting when breathing in, holding the breath, and breathing out.

Repeat with your mouthpiece.

Mouthpiece Challenge

Set your embouchure up on the mouthpiece.
The goal is to only use your air to change the pitch.
Take a breath whenever you need to!
When you keep the opening the same and blow faster, the pitch will go up, and when you blow slower, the pitch will go down.
