Long Tone Duets for Euphoniums; by William Sutton

Long Tone Duets for Euphoniums explores the use of long tones as a vehicle for improved sound, breathing, blending, dynamics, and intonation (harmonically and melodically). A variety of patterns has been provided, including duets for each major and minor key, duets featuring scales and harmonies, duets devoted to technique and repertoire, and duets for euphonium and tuba. To ensure a variety of long tone playing in your daily practicing, play a duet from each category every day.

Students will learn by emulating their teachers when playing Long Tone Duets. It’s the perfect opportunity to scrutinize and improve tone, intonation, and articulation because there is no complicated rhythmic activity to distract you from these issues.
