+ TRAP SHOOTING:Preparing the Music

Spell all chords correctly for P tuning marking Make sure all notes and words are aligned on page Make sure there is enough space between staves

Mark all breath spots Number the measures, add rehearsal letters

Avoid difficult page turns Avoid repeats. Cut and Paste to read straight through

When passages are repeated: the notes and words should be TOTALLY identical or different enough to remember the

difference.
