My first teacher used the tonic scale up from Fundamental-->10, then dominant scale down; increasing by semi-tones until things started to get strained, then decreasing and re-ascending later. She varied the vowel starting with "a", then to "o" with "a" on top, then to "o" throughout, then to "o" with "e" on top, then "e" throughout, etc.
My current teacher seems to prefer the "full frontal assault" method of glissando from Fundamental-->9 and back on "o", then "e", (or "a" if I mess it up., etc; and also increasing by semi-tones. For me, this latter method is a bit harder on the ears; but, like the first method, once I get over the angst, I'll hopefully like it, too. For right now, though...ughhhh!!
