Created the handout with all of the six notes in Furioso(note names and solfedge, all three transpositions on one sheet).... 80-85% of class could play the six notes with the aid of fingering chart. Asked students to play the rhythms in the first two measures on whatever note they chose. Some students could play correct notes and rhythms, some played correct rhythm, and a couple just made various rhythmical sounds.....
Had first year students finger and attempt first three notes: #2,4 and 5 in SOE....Many students able to already play do re mi.........good tone quality......low brass needsthe most attention, M, G, and F getting wonderful tone quality but have trouble getting the desired pitch..
