I wanted to come back to this because we never addressed WHY we do long tones in the first place.
Of course there are benefits of develping timbre when you have nothing to entertain you but the sound of a very long note. But other equally important benefits would be (depending on how you do a long tone exercise) developing endurance; correct breathing; solid rhythm; and mastery of dynamic range (loudest to softest you can muster).
Perhaps working on one of those components at a time would make the endeavor more interesting.
