Re: Trinity Grade 6 Aural

Hello there, Grade 6 Aurals are indeed a very nasty piece of work. If you posses the woodwind syllabus, I suggest you first take note of the time signatures you have to know, along with the kind of intervals it is you have to know and all that jazz.

Re: resonating sound? READ THIS ONE

Hello there, In terms of having a resonating sound, why not try experimenting with increasing the total volume of your thoracic and nasal capacity? That sounds really weird, but what I mean is try relaxing your throat while widening the opening. Lowering the tongue in the mouth, and playing with war...
