150 Low Register Exercises

Low Register ExercisesLearning to play well in the lower register of the horn can be just as difficult and frustrating as playing up high. It helps to work gradually from a range that does feel good and works for you down to the lower notes. "is is as-suming that your embouchure is set up to be capable of playing in all registers. If you are not sure about this, see my material on embouchures and talk to a teacher who has experience (and success) working with embouchure placement.Here we have exercises that take you from the middle register into the lower register gradually so that you can feel the connection. With the “harmonic” exercises, remember that even though the intervals between the harmonics are larger in this range, the notes are still only “one step” apart on the harmonic scale. Just slide to the next har-monic groove. Feel how much difference there really is. Probably not as much as you think. Suggestions, or what I would recommend you do as you go lower and lower.1. Drop your jaw a little. I have heard of players who can move all over the horn without moving their jaw– I just have never met one. Remember, I said a little.2. Round out your embouchure a little. "ink “oh.”3. Expose more upper lip in the mouthpiece. Don’t change your placement. Don’t take your lower lip out of the mouthpiece. Just relax the upper lip. 4. Keep your corners under control. Anchor on the lower lip. 5. Don’t roll your lower lip out away from your jaw/teeth. Keep pressure against the lower lip equal to the upper lip. Feel the lower lip against the teeth."e studies should be done with great attention to tone. Do not let it thin out down low. Bring out the lowest notes in each of these studies at first. Try to cultivate some edge.

"e idea with these scales is to work down gradually, keeping the tone the same. When you get to notes that are weak you need to go back to a good note and work it into the next note down. "ink glissando.

"e holds in the middle of the phrase are optional and are there to give you time to center the note. Remember, if you don’t fix these notes now you are just teaching yourself how to play them wrong. "ink glissando.

If you are doing the warm-ups, you know what to do here. Stabilize and bring out the lowest note.

Here we are adding the next harmonic down. Use the glissando principle to find the shortest way to the notes. If you can’t get the lowest notes yet, try doing the pattern using the Bb horn, starting on a third space C.

Play with your best tone at all times. Keep the air moving and the buzz going between the notes.

Bb Horn harmonics: 0, 2, 1, 3, 23. Learn to play these in tune and with a good sound. !ey are wide slots and need to be centered in pitch. Don’t let them “honk.” You can continue down on F horn.

Connecting the middle range with the low. Do on all valve combinations. Tongue this also. Find a transposition that you can do (even if it is on Bb horn) and work down from there.

We are looking for efficiency here. !at means getting from one note to the next with minimal movement. Use your air to support your lip and jaw activities. Get this going at a good clip with good tone.

You may have to slow down a bit on this one at first. Just make sure you center the notes with the air.

152 Low Register Exercises

!is is the basic low harmonic connection series. I use this with students who have that classic embouchure break somewhere around low g. Find a transposition that you can do and then work across the “break.” Do in all keys. Feel the connection between the notes. Use the harmonic “speed bumps” to help you, and glissando.

A variation is to accent the weakest note. It may not be the lowest note. Start with a small accent and then make it bigger. Once you feel that you have mastered the slurs, start doing them with a legato tongue that feels just as con-nected.

Get a good start on the first note. Control with the corners of your embouchure. Slur first– lots of air. Use the scale patterns. You will feel the muscles holding against the tonguing. !is is a good thing and builds control.

!is is a classic exercise to develop power in the low register. (c.f. Philip Farkas “!e Art of Horn Playing”) Cre-scendo on each note and time the loudest point for the beginning of the next bar where the note changes. What makes a louder vibration? !e amplitude or size of the vibration must get larger. How do we get amplitude? !e lips, especially the upper lip, must relax so that the vibration can get bigger. Lowering the jaw slightly as you get louder also helps. Don’t be afraid to put some “shine” or “edge” on the sound. As a matter of fact, you should put a lot of “shine” on these loudest notes. !is means that the lip is vibrating freely. Keep the corners under control and don’t float the lower lip away from the teeth.

Don’t underestimate the power of using the scale patterns.
