TONE QUALITY, INTONATION & BREATH CONTROL:
- LONG TONES (every day if possible):
- Hold notes out, count and mark your “scorecard“
- Long tones to a tuner. No need to mark your scorecard. Try to stay in tune as best you can > T1 tuner app
- STARTING EACH NOTE:
- Tonguing the notes. Start notes with “tu” or “too” and keep steady airspeed.
- LEARNING NEW SONGS:
- Before playing, name the notes while fingering. This good habit will set you up to learn new songs fast!
- You can use the book or a fingering chart if you see new notes or if you’re learning new notes.
