q U
Hold till out of air.

p p
Transpose up chromatically as high as possible.
Rest as much as you play.

Start on low C, play (all slurred half-notes) C, E, G, C, C#, D, with a

fermata on the D.

Tempo should be 80 beats per minute.

Play piano (p) till you reach the last note, then crescendo to FFF till
you run out of air.

Rest the same amount of time it took you to play

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Do the same thing one half step higher. Rest again, then go up another
half step. Keep going until you reach the point where you're no longer
getting a clear, full sound, then STOP.

Some days you'll play higher than others, but your range should
gradually improve over time.
