Exercise 8 is a great all purpose exercise. We use it to develop strong sffz accents and air coordination. We also us it to teach double tonguing, transposition, high and low ranges etc.
To play Exercise 8
- Be brutal on the sffz notes
- Do not hint (crescendo before the sffz, for instance)
- Practice Slow to Fast repeating each section many times
Be really brutal on the sffz notes. Since this is about air control it's ok if no note comes out! As long as the air is really shot hard into the horn it is good. If the note clams it's ok. If it clams, do not reduce the amount of air to get the right note!
