I've been having a great time this week using sirens with all my students, male and female. Hadn't done those for a LONG time. What interval DO you use for the Flying Monkey exercise? :)

Although the interval is not quite the same, I too use what I call the "Wisard of Oz" exercise "oh-ee-oh". You can't beat lip trills, voiced and unvoiced for just about anything, including dealing with the passaggi. I have noticed that in the upper transition area, the partials just seem to go nuts, in fact they often overwhelm the fundamental. Many of my students tell me that they experience this too (and no I wait for them to tell me). I try not to contaminate their experiences with mine. Again, thanks for sharing those. These are the kinds of things we can share that can help us all. Regards, Les Les
