Subj: chromatic exercises
Date: Tue, 6 May 1997 22:09:53 -0400

A chromatic exercise that I use is:

- Set my metronome to some speed between about 50 and 72.
- Play from bottom E to altissimo G and back down in triplets.
- Repeat, with 4 notes to a beat.
- Repeat additional times with 5, 6, 7, and 8 notes to a beat
(9 if you can manage it evenly and cleanly).

Be careful to get the groups of notes exactly aligned with the
metronome click. This is a rhythmic as well as chromatic exercise.
