Band Fundamentals

Listening Examples:

Practice these tongued and slurred (just slurred for the chromatic)

Try to make the tempo as steady and transition between notes as smooth as possible!

Listening examples: 

Joseph Alessi

Denis Wick

J.J. Johnson

Practice these at a slow tempo, using "da" and "La" articulation syllables. (just "La" on the chromatic scale) 

Try to make the tempo as steady and transition between notes as smooth as possible!
