Manny, I posted this topic over on the other site, but I'd really like your opinion on it.

First, is there a "first note of the day" that you play almost every day? For example, I've noticed that the first note I play every day is a second-line G.

Second, do you think that starting every day with the same note has any physical or psychological affect on your range? For example, am I establishing (subconciously) that second-line G is the middle of my range? What would happen if I changed that first note of the day? Would going up a fourth or fifth help increase my overall range?

I'm really curious if you have any opinion on this matter. Thanks Manny (or anyone esle that would like to chime in!)
