Open this exercise if you want to explore the depth and resonance available to you in your low register! Using extended techniques (singing and playing/flutter tonguing), breath kicks, double tonguing, and more, we'll build a range of dynamics and colors accessible for the low register!

Open this exercise if you're comfortable with your full range chromatic scale (B3-C#7) but looking for a challenge! We'll start with small chunks, wiggling between anchor notes in triplet rhythms. After getting comfortable there, we'll expand to 16th notes, before putting our full chromatic scale back together! Good luck! This one is a finger twister :) 

Open this exercise if you want to have smoother and more effortless large interval leaps! Using harmonics as our guide, we will explore the sweet spots of these large intervals. Bonus: after you play the exercise through, adding repeats where you feel necessary, try the intervals without the harmonics and listen to match tone color and volume while you blow through the sweet spot!

Open this exercise if you're looking for something fun (yet challenging) to start a practice session, or to break up a portion of your practice with something new! This quick exercise, incorporating octaves, the chromatic scale, and major arpeggios may look easy, but pay special attention to how your air moves between octaves, how smooth and slinky you can be in your chromatic scale, and how you can feel the whoosh through all registers of your arpeggio! For an extra challenge, try expanding the abbreviated arpeggios to include high C# and D!

Open this exercise if you want to explore how soft and clear your high notes can be or if you're looking for an exercise to stretch your breath control! Using harmonics, we'll experiment with just how little air we can use to play each high register note! As you play the first time, listen for your clearest sound in the high register as well as the low note "whoosh" that happens underneath. In your second try, decrescendo as you get higher, and then with the real fingerings, listen for the ping of the high register and how it rings in your space!
