I'm starting to learn piccolo and currently playing it in concert and marching band and I love it a lot, this video helped me with my tone quality quite a bit so thank you :)

Absolutely terrific video, Ms. Spencer is a great explainer, and I was actually able to get a sound on the pesky little instrument (finally!) just from listening to her. Thanks Erin!

Would you say switching from flute to piccolo was particularly rough? What would you say are the major differences in how you hold and breathe? I’m going to join the marching band, and am going to band camp over the summer. The high schoolers in my section said they will do piccolo tryouts at Band Camp, however they specially want me on piccolo. If I ever get the part, what would I look out for the most?

Great video! I keep rewatching it from time to time. What do you thing of turning the piccolo in and out to adjust tune, instead of put down your chin?
