Upper Register Power Etude
Start on low C, play (all slurred half-notes) C, E, G, C, C#, D, with afermata on the D.
Tempo should be 80 beats per minute.
Play piano (p) till you reach the last note, then crescendo to FFF till you run out of air.
Rest the same amount of time it took you to play THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
Do the same thing one half step higher. Rest again, then go up another half step. Keep going until you reach the point where you're no longer
getting a clear, full sound, then STOP.
Some days you'll play higher than others, but your range should gradually improve over time.
Hold till out of air.
Transpose up chromatically as high as possible.
Rest as much as you play.
