This is a good place to try Bonade's "stop staccato" exercise. Of course since the emphasis is finger coordination you don't have to obsess about the pop of the articulation so much (the other great aspect of this S-L-O-W-E-D down drilling sort of exercise).


It is also a good idea to do short sections at a time and take breaks. It'll feel like you're holding your breath until you explode.



So the idea is to continually blow as if you're playing BUT you stop the sound entirely with your tongue until you move your fingers to the very next note. Then play THAT note and stop the sound with your tongue. Move your fingers to the next note.....then play that note.


The action is like this "TUT," .....move fingers to next note....., "TUT," ......move fingers to next note....... etc.


I demonstrate this around one note per second (quarter note = 60 beats per minute).


Practicing your finger movements this slowly really helps to clean up the "clutter."
