Another way is to not start beginners on baritones, but rather trombones or cornets, switching them in their second year.
Sometimes a cornet player that struggles with range can switch to the larger mouthpiece and do quite well on a baritone/euphonium.
I personally was one of those kids.
I’m a retired band director after 42 years of teaching.
Best wishes for your success in this matter., and thank you for caring about your students’ success.
