I think my teacher told me to think TOO for notes below C, TAA for mid register, and TEE for G on the staff and upwards. I tried to apply it and thought I was having success but couldn't be bothered to think all these syllables just for two and a half octaves (He considered the high C to be the top note except for the Haydn concerto). Now I think TOO (or try to at least for the upper register; it does arch for high F (with 3 ledger lines) and above quite noticeably) all the way. Apparently, Hardenberger did study Maggio exercises when he was a young boy (which invokes four different syllables quite strictly).
