In my brass methods class, I have a student that cant get a sound out. When they are it is thin pinched and in general awful even for a beginner. I am running out of ideas on how to get her to get a better sound. Have worked on breathing, her primary instrument is a vocalist and hacks at piano and guitar. She cant get a buzz on the mouthpiece either. Have suspicion about apature being off, will check that out next class.

Any ideas
