Re: Right Hand Pointer & Middle Finger Swaps

In thinking about this I realized you CAN practice this slowly if you utilize the Bonade "prepared fingers" sort of exercise. In the 'prepared finger' or 'stop staccato' exercise, you tongue a note,immediately damping again with the tongue (while continually supplying full breath push throughout exercise) to achieve a "TUT," move your fingers to the next note, then "TUT" that note, move fingers, "TUT" etc.

In the case of the finger switches, you sound the note, move twice, then sound note. I haven't tried this yet myself but I think for the sake of the Board I might just experiment on a student first to see if it works. :-)
