Practising these Arban Slur Exercises is considered to be one of the most useful methods of developing endurance and flexibility.

However, even though this is known to be true, they can also be considered boring. Many find it difficult to maintain the discipline needed to practise them consistently and properly.

eto Music Practice provides the motivation to help you through theses hard hours of practice.

Playing along with the sound of the exercises and the real time Beat Counter sort of keeps you company.....as well as in rhythm.

The accompaniment is fun and gives added interest. You can choose to play along to it or switch it off.

Listening to and playing with the audio as you practise helps your tuning; especially if your embouchure is getting tired....but don't force things.

...... the more practice, the stronger the lip muscles, the better your intonation.

The tempo of Exs. 16 - 21 is is 60 Beats per minute. A tempo which builds endurance when playing the minims (half notes) and crotchets (quarter notes) and controlled flexibility as the notes get shorter and more of them!
Ex. 22 is at both 70 and 80...giving you an extra challenge have done all the hard work on the previous exercises.and taking you further on......

There is no substitute for hours of fundamental practice. eto can help you put in the hours!
