Re: Stretching Range

Just remember this - there are no short cuts, magic formulas here - the secret is intelligent practice, a good teacher and patience. I have personally found the Caruso exercises very useful for range building (but get a teacher familiar with the methos to show you) and there are numerous exercises in Arban which focus on long tones and intervals which are helpful.
