I originally created Music Tooter for my own Beginning Band Program, but am now trying to include resources that all Band teachers may find useful.
Soon to be released are Two Minute Lessons that address many questions for all levels of school age instrumentalists.
Enjoy this website and make copies of anything you find useful.
My goal continues to be to post the best learning resources I can find for our school age musicians.

Finger Chart The students all have one in the back of their books, but this one will isolate each note and the children will have access to it any time. There is a separate one for each instrument.
