3.1 Single Note Articulation

Written By Nancy Taylor

Goal: New Note (G)

  • Start this lesson like every other with emm and puu, singing and buzzing

  • Review articulation by saying 'thee' and articulating the tongue between the teeth

  • Play C-D-E-F-G (new note: G)

  • Practice articulating long and short notes on the above pitches

  • Play Jingle Bells  (or whatever song they choose) at an increasingly faster tempo to challenge their articulation

FINISH: Play something for the student or share a YouTube video. Video Search Suggestion: Aaron Ouellette 2016 - Concert Etude
