Hi Khefren,

To me, quite a lot of what you have been talking about in other posts hinges on this point.

Almost all the time your air should be flowing constantly whether there is tonguing breaking it up or not. I hope that you can understand that long tones will help with this.

This will then help your articulation which you mentioned as another issue - think "Air flowing" all the time then just lightly tongue.

Similarly with evenness of tone, try practising another form of long tones on very slow, slurred octaves - listening to the evenness and intonation. Go up 4 octaves as far as you can and then three.

To me long tones are not boring, they are a chance to enjoy your instrument and its sound which is surely one of the things which attracted it first.

Have fun and enjoy!

Vanessa.
