Holding the Dood and Toot
There is so much to focus on when students are trying to create their first sound. We suggest
holding the instruments as shown below, while exploring embouchure and basic rhythm excercises.
Hand Position for First Sounds
The Dood and the Toot may look quite different, but the hand placement is very similar. Both hand
positions are a bit like a recorder with your left hand at the top and your right hand at the bottom.
The Dood is played straight in front of you and the Toot is played out to the right side, just like a
3
flute. Your fingers are placed in a similar way on each instrument with the first
holes or keys played
4
with your left hand and the second
holes or keys played with your right hand.
Good Posture
It is important to stand upright and bring your instrument up to your mouth. This will help you to
produce good notes. Remember not to bend forward or dip your head towards your instrument.
