Warmup:

#1. Continue deep breathing exercise, and fade in longtones with a tuner.

  • start in middle register, then work up and down. Each note should take a whole breath.
  • focus on the low register this week, aiming to get the whisper tone the same octave as the note you’re fingering.

 

Technique:

#2. Continue F# minor scale in thirds at the back of the Voxman Book.

Repertoire:

 

#3. Danzon

  • b. 330-344
    • Start at a comfortable tempo where you can here the 8th note subdivisions, then speed up
    • Record yourself playing using a cell phone or computer. Play along to a metronome and listen back, taking note of the consistency of your rhythms.
