Outcomes will include a better understandingof staccato, marcato, and tenuto styles. Air flow will be utilized to keep the tongue in constant motion. Byadding pitches outside of the overtone series, the musician will gain dexterity and an awareness of pitchcenter through tonguing. Use a metronome and tuner to work on timing and pitch accuracy. Exerciseswill be sung, buzzed, and played.
