2005 , here we are.Hey hey hey, these are the upcoming activities for band.. Recruitment Chinese New Year perf Concert Performance for a certain hardware company Alexander Hospital Perf Istana Perf SYF and more to come! Just wanna say, it's time to turn on to gear 5 to rev u'reself for the up and coming activities. Music making is only possible when ya peepz know your work. E.g when everyone knows their part so well and play it with rich, supported tones,in tune, clean, and most imptly with emotions. And to achieve that 1) Do your individuals daily - Make sure its carried out properly. Warm up really well ( very impt ). When you've warmed up well, basically your lips are more than ready to do anything without struggle. Make sure u pick out all the details in your pieces, ensure that every single note is clear and supported, and the right sounds are produced ( USE THE JAPANESE BAND VIDEOS FOR REFERENCE ) 2) Do your long notes DAILY -Long notes are the instant solution to getting a full rich tone, no kidding. Make sure u've done some warm ups first. Ok you can do your long notes for basically any scale. Make sure you take in a lot of air and hold a very straight full tone for at least 12 beats. then simply just go to the next note.( while doing it make sure that your stomach muscles and always pushed downwards and outwards, this ensures greater pressure for the air to come out ) ya can do long notes in this pattern -Low Bb scale -Concert Bb,C,D,Eb,F -Interval excersises -Warm up patterns -Arpeggios yeah basically anything, just make sure its done properly. Ya wanna build good high register, then do high notes and vice versa. YA CAN EVEN USE A TUNER TOGETHER WITH IT AND KEEP U"RE NOTE IN TUNE ( once you've tuned your instruments ) Make sure that the entry note is always clean. 3)Spread the word around to pracice and to do long notes! ( VERY IMPT! ) 4) Keep smiling and be happy My profound apologies for sounding very technical, buts its your technique that lays the foundation for your instrument playing. fruitful practices= fun practices OK jut have fun and work real hard! FULL STEAM AHEAD! Sala Benefits of long notes -improves tone -tuning -breath support at 9:52 PM 0 comments
