This is the Tortoise Tone and Finger & Articulation Package!
The tone exercise focuses on developing a steady, rich sound through a slow, intentional approach, hence the "tortoise" name. Students play crotchets and minims in a semitone pattern, moving gradually from one note to the next. 🐢
The exercise encourages mindful breathing, with breath marks placed at regular intervals to promote efficient air use and stability. Students should maintain a smooth airflow for each note, allowing for deeper tonal development.
The Finger and Articulation Exercise emphasises coordination between finger movement and tonguing precision. Using quaver rhythms in a semitone pattern, it encourages clean, quick transitions. 🎵Repeated sequences provide practice in building finger agility while maintaining clear articulation. The exercise ensures improved finger and tongue synchronisation. Tempo guidance allows for gradual speed increases, reinforcing technical accuracy and clarity. ⏱️ Can be varied using dotted rhythms for more advanced players.
