Re: Need Trill help for next lesson

1. A trill is an ornament and should be clearly audible.

2. Therefore, if you have the choice between a fingering that's too wide and one that's too narrow, choose the wide one.

3. The lower note is the main one and should always be in tune.

4. If possible, do the first beat of the trill with the standard fingerings, to get the proper tuning in the listener's mind, and yours. Then switch to the trill fingering, doing whatever you can with your embouchure to bring the upper note closer to being in tune.
