Re: long tones

The classic long tone exercise is to start at low E at ppp with a metronome at around 50. Go to ff in four beats, then back to ppp in four beats. Then, open the octave key to B (as smoothly as humanly possible), maintaining the ppp. Go to ff, then back to ppp.

Then, low F. Same drill.

Repeat up to F (1st space on the staff).

Do this for a few years and you will have a beautiful tone and incredible breath and lip control. Double liplayers
