Re: Describing how to play higher to a beginning student

Well, here's what's worked with me and my teacher. When I'm trying to play high, he tells me to think down. This might seem counter-intuitive, but it really works. Also, it would probably be beneficial to do Clarke Study #1 to their highest solid note. If they practice these scales everyday, their range should improve.
