In Reply to: Good Mouthpieces for Beginners? posted by Keilly on October 05, 2003 at 21:47:23:
Because of the fact that you teach in an impovrished school district you might consider getting the students to buy a mouthpiece that they could play on for a very long time such as a Bach 18 or a Helleberg. What's the chance that they are going to upgrade to a better mouthpiece? Not very likely. I don't teach in a poor school and have had great sucess with starting my beginners on the Helleberg. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
