About
The Piccolo Resource Guide is designed to help music educators and their students navigate the unique attributes of the piccolo. Through the 30-Day Beginning Piccolo Guide, Advanced Exercises, and supplemental resources, this website equips teachers and students with the knowledge and confidence to succeed on the instrument (while having some fun too!).
The Inspiration
This project was inspired by experiences during my undergraduate degree in Music Education. Although I attended one of the premiere institutions for music education, many of my colleagues and I felt ill-equipped to handle the specific needs of auxiliary instruments like the piccolo. This website is designed to address these needs by providing instrument-specific guidance at a level appropriate for high school students.
