Playing With Braces

Many student trumpet players are confronted with the problem of having to play with braces. Adjusting to playing with braces can be difficult. A music professor at South Dakota State University has written a book called Braces & Brass to help brass players overcome the problem of playing with braces. In the book, he describes techniques for protecting the lips as well as playing techniques to help players adapt to braces and exercises that help the player return to ordinary playing after braces are removed.
