Trill Seeker


Eighth and Ninth Chorus Breakdown

Hello Sonic Junctioneers,

This week we wrap up my study song “Trill Seeker” with the last solo chorus and one more chorus with the opening theme. In this section, we will be using some slides and some blow and draw trills in a melodic context. Then we bring it on home with one last chorus playing the opening theme for this tune. Remember that with the trills, clarity and steadiness is important, so make sure you work on that aspect of the trill technique more than anything…and have fun playing it!

Thanks for working on this piece, please send me your questions and comments…and I’ll see you next time here on Sonic Junction.
