COMMITMENT

To be a successful student at Texas State,

and to train as a musician and music educator

you must first make a COMMITMENT.

A COMMITMENT to clearly identify your goals, dreams and aspirations.

A COMMITMENT to develop a practice routine that includes breathing exercises, mouthpiece practice, long tones, lip flexibility, tonguing exercises, scales, etudes and solos that will help you obtain these goals.

A COMMITMENT to make the time to practice, at the very least, two hours a day.

A COMMITMENT to do the little things that make a BIG difference.

IT IS NOW UP TO YOU.

Are you ready to make this kind of COMMITMENT?

It requires courage and perseverance.

It means that you will maintain a positive attitude; you will refuse to quit, and you will never give up.

The truly committed musician is a winner who will make positive things happen.

COMMITMENT

It is the differnce between excellence and mediocrity; between winning and losing; between accomplishing something special with your music or just getting by.

ARE YOU READY?
