one part of the long tone-idea is to build pure muscles.
its not the sort of long-tone-excercise you guys are discussing, but still...
to play really long notes for a long time,really loud(still some kind of focus, ofcourse.) is like an hour in the gym(but more fun, i think).
and i do this to manage those really long and painful solos/chamberwork/concerts or whatever, without getting so tired in the end that my joy and musicality is feeling forced, and im getting all tired and stiff..
i do this a few times a week, when i dont feel like doing anymore practice(one of thoooose days...). i do this FFF-long-tone-long-time-thing(on a bad reed) until i cant play anymore, and then i go home happy and exhausted to take a well needen shower...(its also a great way of letting out loads of frustrations and anger.)
most other days in the week i work out at home or run/bike around for a while.
to manage to make music/using my brain, the body needs to be working like a clockwork.(mine is not, but im getting there, slow but steady)
not really on the topic, just what came down through my head this late hour(1.30am... i should be asleep...)
good night everybody
