 Re: What Separates Average Tone from Exceptional?

Air, air, air, air, and air. Long tones, long tones, long tones, and long tones. Try using the tonal energy app on the iPad and make the blue bar have absolutely no jagged edges: completely straight.

I remember a friend of mine telling me said that Gilad said, "Learn to play loud and beautiful before trying to play soft and beautiful." So try all your long tones FFF with the tonal energy app.

I usually like to do chromatic long tones OR the David Weber long tones. Or what Jonathan Gunn told me to do:

1. Set the metronome to whatever speed you can play a one octave E major scale up in one breath. From low E to middle E

2. Wait for 8 counts thinking about what you sounded like

3. Start from middle E then go down the same way

4. Then go from middle F same thing

5. Then the G above the staff same thing

I also like to do the Breathing Gym before my practice. To learn how it should feel to play the clarinet.
