Know the sound you want.

Knowing the sound you want to produce is the first step to producing it. Listen to players you admire, and emulate their sound. If you do not have many recordings that inspire you, ask friends or a local brass teacher for recommendations. If you would like suggestions for recordings that demonstrate the best use of Monette equipment, please contact us, and we will be happy to provide a partial listing of recent recordings.

Tip:

• Most players can relate at least one experience when they heard some musician that changed their whole approach to listening to and/or making music. Treat yourself to as many concerts as possible, and do not be shy about asking some great player you admire for a lesson. Travel to hear your favorite music. Sometimes one lesson or concert can provide the inspiration of a lifetime.
