|
|
Hi, all. I completed Physical Approach and have been working out of Systematic Approach and using the Irons' book and some Clarke's Technical Studies.
I'm on Lesson 7 and I've been reaching full-fledged Double High Cs in the part IIs and even a few notes above that.
In regards to the instructions in Systematic Approach "Think EE as you go up and blow stronger: crescendo." I've discovered that I'm hitting a volume ceiling. If I play too loudly the top notes are pinched, don't come out or are really hard to play in tune from High C on up. Is it better to err on the side of too loud for now or should I back off the volume?
Thanks for your feedback! |

Any lessons I have taken have advised the complete opposite. I realise CG works for some, but not me, and my upper register only started to develop and become reliable once I started working on it at a very soft dynamic.
Since you are on the CG forum, I will leave it at that. This method does not work for me, and I'm not here to get into it with people, so I'll leave my $0.02 and disappear
