 Re: Band Director teaching open G w/RH down

While resonance fingerings should be used where needed, they shouldn't be taught to beginners from day 1 as that will only add to confusion.

They should start to be introduced when crossing the break in preparation for a smoother transition to the upper note if needed instead of all fingers off-all fingers on, but only when the pupil is ready to use them.

On my Selmers as the open G and throat notes can be on the sharp side, I usually put my three RH fingers down for the open G to add more substance to it, but I wouldn't advise a beginner to use that fingering as they should learn how to balance the instrument without putting any extra fingers down for the open note.
