Re: Slurring down 12ths

Dear Dave,

When Using the Warmup, I use these fingerings:

High Bb: Left hand: Thumb and registerkey, holes 1,2,3 +C#/G# pinky. Right Hand: holes 1,2,3 + C/F key. Basically, it is a long F with the right hand C key instead of the Eb key. When playing the Eb before this Bb in the warmup, it will require a slide for the right pinky from the Eb to the C key, and back.

High B: Left hand: Thumb and registerkey, holes 1&2 + F#/C# pinky. Right Hand: holes 1&2.

High C: Left hand: Thumb and registerkey, A key, holes 1&3. Right Hand: hole 1 + F#/C# pinky. The first finger on the left hand needs to cover the 1st hole + the A key. The Left C#/G# Pinky can be added for intonation.

The fingerings can be different for different people, and will vary for intonation purposes. At this stage, I consider these notes as controlled squeeks, and are great conversation for cocktail parties - although the Baermann 3 book does go to high C on the C major scale's ending arpeggio in the beginning of the book...

Good luck!

Sincerely,
