The Progress Chart
Inefficiency Is The Cause Of Most Problems
To get fast and consistent improvement, use the Practice Progress Charts when working on harmonic slurs, single and multiple tonguing. Simply tick a box or 2 every day to improve efficiency dramatically.
Print out many charts and write down the exercise name on the top i.e. E-A Harmonic Slur etc…
The following exercise requires use of the clock and metronome.
RULES:
- Choose a TEMPO and DURATION
- Start the METRONOME
- Count the beats/seconds (zero tolerance for inaccuracy)
- Check the appropriate box when you are satisfied you’ve accomplished the goal
- Find your SPEED LIMIT
- Find your DURATION LIMIT
- Come back daily to break through to new levels of technical mastery.
The only way to increase your limits is
by being more efficient and playing freely.

Greg - wow, I am blown away by the videos. I discovered the leadpipe thing and no buzzing but just air in the mouthpiece about a year ago and never looked back. These videos hit the nail right on the head - amazing information!
