Your brain, ear and body together - to work as one.


Exercise 1


Start by playing a low Bb, loud and flat.

Then flick your octave key to get the upper octave Bb, quickly release your octave key and hold the upper Bb harmonic, for as long as possible - this will purify your sound. You can apply the above to low B, C and C sharp.

Exercise 2


Play chromatically downwards from G to D, hold your octave key on but produce the lower octave notes.

Exercise 3


Mouthpiece exercise as already mentioned.

Exercise 4


Long notes in the lower register as quietly as possible.
