I was doing an exercise someone recommended to me and uploaded the video so she could tell me if I was doing it right - she lives in Canada, I live in the UK, so it's not like I could pop over for a quick lesson. It's not up for entertainment value, surprisingly enough...!
Yes, amazingly you are doing the exercise exactly right!
Good for you! Good eyes and ears!!
Now, take about twice as long to smear down the octave.
Allow both notes (high and low) to, for a brief moment, be sounding simultaneously. Hold the notes out longer. Eventually you will discover the "breaking point" and you'll figure out the "sweet spot" where both notes are easy to toggle between.
What is the point to upload this stuff ?
