Karl, I went back and looked at my notes from the person who told me that high G was an excellent note to use for analysis of a player's abilities. This person is an excellent teacher, from what I understand, and I hope to start lessons with her beginning in July.
At any rate here is what my notes say: "...Play a series of high G's in order to monitor the AIR, TONGUE placement, Mouth placement, horn angle, healthy reeds, etc..."
Also, "...The ability to play high G with a good sound, tonguing, and pitch will tell just about everything we need to know about what is going on..."
To me this makes good sense; however, I don't recall ever hearing of this on any BB threads (and I even go back a lot and read the archives to further educate myself) so I thought I'd see if any of you teachers had ever used this idea with your students.
Dave, I've heard so much about TR's fingerings book, I must get it. I have a couple of his others, but not the one you referred to. Thanks.
