When “fix your hand position” becomes part of your daily vocabulary 😂

This is exactly why Thumb Gummi exists.

🛠️ Built on Fundamentals | Project 01: Consistent Hand Position

Students begin developing muscle memory the very first time they pick up an instrument.

Every time they play, they're reinforcing a habit. That's why taking a few extra moments to establish a comfortable, consistent hand position early can have a lasting impact on technique, comfort, and confidence.

Good fundamentals aren't built all at once—they're built one repetition at a time.

Thumb Gummi was designed to help students develop a comfortable, consistent hand position from the very beginning, helping reinforce good habits every time they play.

Built on Fundamentals

Every great musician is built on a strong foundation.

Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing a series of short lessons focused on the fundamentals that help students play more comfortably, build confidence, and develop habits that last.

Project 01: Consistent Hand Position

It's one of the first habits students develop, and one of the most important. In the next post, we'll take a closer look at why consistent hand position matters and how small adjustments early can have a lasting impact.

The first few weeks matter.

The beginning of the school year is the perfect time to establish the fundamentals that will carry students through the months ahead.

Whether they're picking up an instrument for the first time or returning for another year, reinforcing proper hand position early with Thumb Gummi helps build comfort, confidence, and consistency.

Set them up for success from the very first rehearsal.

Introducing the Valve Practice Block.

This small 3-valve practice tool helps brass students practice valve combinations, finger coordination, and muscle memory even when their instrument isn’t available.

Students can use it to work on:

• scales and fi*****ng patterns
• valve coordination
• silent practice away from the instrument

The design uses mechanical keyboard switches as the valve return to create a simple and durable practice tool.

Two versions are currently available:

• Trumpet
• Low Brass (Euphonium / Baritone / Tuba)

You can get it in two ways:

• Download the files and print your own if you have access to a 3D printer
• Purchase a printed version (coming soon)

If you end up printing one, I’d love to see photos of your builds or how your students are using them.

There’s been great buzz around the new Flute Thumb Gummi.

And the question that keeps coming up is, “Are fun colors coming?”

I mocked up a few options to see what they might look like. Picture attached.

I’m not producing anything yet, just exploring ideas.

If I added one, which would you pick?

Solid or sparkly?
