Lah-Lah Tip 💡

Brass instruments make sound when players buzz their lips into the mouthpiece. Try making “raspberry” sounds together—it’s fun and helps strengthen mouth muscles for speaking and everyday skills.

Extend the Fun 

Pretend to be in a brass band! Use your voice to make loud and soft sounds, and move your body to match the music. Can you go from soft to loud like a real instrument?
