IMPORTANT NOTICE

These exercises are for building up endurance and need to be performed strictly as described!
All exercises are to be done only per day. Choose the easiest variation for you. Only do as much of the exercise as is comfortable. DO NOT FORCE, EVER!


THE SIX TONES

1. Tap your foot 1+2+3+4+ throughout the exercise, with a clear up and down movement.
The reason is: one muscle controls all other muscles. Because of the foot, these exercises are played sitting.

2. Breathe through the nose only (to ensure that the embouchure doesn‘t move).

3. Keep the mouthpiece on the lips throughout the exercise. The embouchure shall remain in its position even during the bars of rest, only the pressure can and should be removed, so that the blood circulation refreshes the lip.

4. The first note of each exercise is always played with a breath attack (B), the later notes attacked (T=tongue)
or slurred, as indicated.

5. Always, before each exercise and during the bars of rest, breathe out two beats completely (!) and inhale two beats.

6. Keep the flow steady, play always at a medium dynamic level.

7. Repeat the exercise 3x, then rest for a few minutes before playing the "Seconds" or your next exercises.

If you are a beginner you might just play the "Six Notes"


THE SECONDS
For a specific high-note training repeat the exercise after a short break.
Another variation is to continue after 10 to 15 seconds where you stopped,
because the power did not last, or no sound came out of the instrument.
Always complete the interval you started to play, even if no sound comes.
Thus you prepare the muscles to play these notes maybe tomorrow or later on.



LONG TONES

These long tones are not in Caruso's book but I include them in the video as an additional exercise to build-up endurance, steady airflow, and develop your tone quality.

Play the long tones after you have rested a bit.
Use breath attack to find the center of the tone easier.
Concentrate on maintaining a steady air stream.
If you feel tired don't force and take a break.

Building up endurance takes time! Never force! If you start feeling uncomfortable stop and rest.
Taking breaks is essential for the lips to recover.
