Lesson 1: Mastering Full Range
Duration of Days: 180
Lesson Objective
Explore full range with accurate tone, including higher and lower registers, and smooth transitions.
How can I play extreme high and low notes clearly?
How do I connect notes across registers smoothly?
Range, tone, high, low, embouchure, register, upper/lower register, smooth transition
MU:Pr4.1.6a – Perform with accuracy and tone
MU:Pr4.1.7a – Demonstrate technical control across the instrument range
MU:Pr4.2.6a – Perform with expressive qualities
Students focus on long tones, scales, and exercises bridging registers for smooth, accurate playing.
High notes must be loud; low notes are impossible.
Beginners stay in safe range; advanced students practice jumps and lip slurs.
Teacher observes transitions; student demonstrates one smooth passage across registers.
