Lip trill · slides on a fifth
A slow slide up a fifth and back stretches the folds smoothly from note to note, with the lips doing the work of steadying the air.
How to do it
- Start the lip trill on the low note.
- Slide up to the fifth like a siren, no steps in between.
- Slide back down and hold the last note.
Remember Smooth as a slide, not a staircase.
