Hello chromatic players!
I've been playing diatonic for many years but have recently acquired a
chromatic 12-hole in C. I plan to do jazz and classic in every possible key
at some point.
I want to do the groundwork properly first though. Having experience from
the diatonic it's easy for me to do both pucker and tongue-block, but what
I need to get moving is how to play the scales. Now I understand that there
are several enharmonic tones on this instrument and thus more than one way
to play a certain scale - what I would really like is some good fixed
"fingerings" to start out with.
Also, some good rules of thumb for playing pieces with least effort. E.g.
if you have a choice between changing air flow or pushing the button which
one would require less effort? (I would instinctively avoid the button
whenever I could because I am still mostly a diatonic player, but I am not
sure if this is better in the long run)
Can anyone offer advice or recommend some books?
