You will need to learn the names and locations of the parts on your baritone. Pull up a picture, or use your instrument to identify the parts. The main parts are: The bell. The bell is the large, rounded opening where the sound waves emerge from your instrument. Sometimes the bell is straight, and sometimes it is bent forward. The bell is designed to produce the best tone and volume possible. The three or four valves. The valves are comprised of three parts: the casings, pistons, and valve slides. The casings are the three cylindrical metal tubes that keep the pistons in place. The pistons move up and down inside the casings as you press on them. The pistons have small holes in them so that the air moves through them to produce different tones as you play. The valve slides change the length of the baritone's tubing in order to produce different tones. There are usually three valve slides, and the first valve slide is the closest to the mouthpiece. Water key. The water key allows you to remove moisture from inside the horn. It is a small metal lever that is usually located on the main tuning slide. This part can be used by pressing on the key and blowing into the mouthpiece. Mouthpiece receiver. This part connects the mouthpiece to the baritone. It is typically a small metal cylinder that is fused to the end of the pipe that connects the baritone and mouthpiece. Mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is a large, deeply cupped metal part that directs the air and lip vibrations into the baritone. Main tuning slide. This part of the instrument is used to make micro-tuning adjustments. The water key is located on top of this part. You will need to be able to read sheet music practice to your scales while playing. Look for a basic guide for beginners. The notes are in some cases the same as the ones for trombones; it depends on what key you are playing in. The baritone can play of treble clef and bass clef so make sure you know which one you are playing. B flat baritones are normally treble clef and C baritones are normally bass clef. The scales become more complicated as you advance in your practice. To begin with, search for beginner scale exercises. Scales are usually thought of as a series of notes played from and back down again. Practice playing in that order. Scales are usually played out of order when you become more advanced. Try playing low and high notes together. A large part of playing the baritone is blowing air into your instrument. Breathing exercises will help you control the pitch you are playing, and allow you to gain stamina. Take twelve very small breaths of air in. Release the air in the next four counts. Repeat three or four times. Start with your arms by your side. Take six breaths in as you raise your arms next to your head. Breath out six times as you lower your arms. You should be halfway through your six breaths when your arms are out straight at your sides.

Article: A big problem that people have when it comes to dating is rushing into things. You really want to get married, and that's completely understandable, but you have to really make sure that you want to be married to this person for the rest of your life, otherwise it's going to cause problems down the road. It's usually best to give it three months before you start to get more serious. This amount of time lets you get over the initial high (the "honeymoon phase") and allows to you look at the relationship more clearly. For example, say you meet a nice guy and you've gone on a few dates. Instead of right away trying to hint towards marriage or moving in together, you step back and let things move naturally in that direction. He's less likely to feel broadsided by your need for a husband. Another thing that has a tendency to foul up relationships is too many expectations. If you're coming into a relationship with your entire marriage and life until death planned out, that's a huge amount of pressure to put on another person. Chances are things aren't going to work out in the way you have planned (welcome to life). For example, say you've gone out with a guy for a few dates and you're already telling your friends that he's "The One" and you're spending all this time fantasizing about your perfect marriage together, instead of spending time with him just being in the present relationship. You have to allow that relationship to develop as it will. There's nothing wrong with daydreaming, or hoping that he might be the man you marry, but you have to make sure that you're grounded in the reality of the relationship. That amazing guy in your head might bear little resemblance to the guy you're actually dating and it will hurt you when he turns out not to be like you've been imagining him. A good way to make sure that things progress further than a few dates is to engage in the things that he's interested in. This doesn't mean molding yourself to what you think he wants, or that you leave your own interests by the wayside. It means that you find out about his interests, ask him about them, and maybe try them out. For example: He really likes to swim. You could ask him about the kinds of swimming he does, how he got into swimming, does he like to compete, and so on. You could even have him help you improve your own swimming techniques. Remember, though, if he is only interested in his own hobbies and never in yours, there are going to be problems later on. He's probably a bit narcissistic and certainly not as interested in you as you deserve. A really important part of creating a lasting relationship is to make sure that you show the other person how important they are to you. He'll feel that he's important to you and that will strengthen your relationship. Tell him what he means to you. Say things like "It really means a lot to me that you did all the dishes last night," or "Thank you so much for listening to me rant about my terrible day." You can also do little things to show your appreciation: take him out for one of his favorite activities as a surprise, write him a letter with the reasons why he means so much to you. You need to find out whether he's the marrying type and how he might feel about marrying you, in specific. If he doesn't want to marry and that's super important to you, then it might be time to move on and find someone with whom you are more compatible. You can come right out and ask "How do you feel about marriage?" (Avoid doing that in the beginning of the relationship, otherwise you'll come off way too strong.) It might be better to ease into this question. You could bring up some mutual friends who just got married, or someone at work and say "I think that your earlier 30s are a good time to get married, what do you think?" If he reacts badly to the idea of marriage, that is not a good sign. You should also pay attention to how he uses "we" and "us" in referring to the future. The more he's making future plans with you in terms of a partnership the more likely he is to be looking towards marriage and commitment.
