[TPIN] Mouthpiece question (again!)

[Dave Arndt]

Don't change mouthpieces.

Just have her focus more on other aspects of playing - good fundametals and
*music*... most students I've worked in the past with who had braces
adjusted after a while.

Believe it or not,. it's just as big or bigger an adjustment is when they
take the braces OFF later!
