David's Tip of the Day: Band Training, Part 4 - Break Signal
Posted Mon, 12/30/2013 - 08:54 by David Barrett Admin
This one is messed up all the time, but is an easy fix. Raise your hand to the count of 4... slowly raising it high over your head in an arcing motion and drop it quickly on beat 1 of the next bar. This "up slow" (4 counts) and "down fast" (downbeat of the next bar) is key. Practice this to varying speeds of music. More on this tomorrow.
