Re: Long Tones 2009

For some beginners, I recommend long tones. Before you all get undies in a bunch, I have a method behind my madness...

They only need to play 2-3 long tones _total_ in each practice session. This is ONLY for students who are having other tonal issues AND cannot manage always to co-ordinate their fingers. I ONLY have them do these long tones for a few months....usually until their A5-D6 have gotten stable.

I always prefer that students use scales (a la Baermann 3 once they're able) to improve tone, but for the beginners who are still struggling with just PLAYING the "high" notes, a FEW long tones go a long way!
