Haunted Long Tones is a short set of long tones that would be great to get the day started any time in October. These are great because you can scare musicians into playing with great tone quality and proper technique. Emphasize bravery as you explore the symphonic sounds of creepy cinema.

The Long Tones of Autumn
|
So after a quick Google search for "music about Fall," it became clear that there's not really a lot of "Autumn" music. At least not the likes of what happens between Halloween and Christmas... So, I went for a drive in the leaves and decided for an Appalachian/folk feel. Guitars, banjos, harps, and dulcimers. Rather than use specific techniques or tunes, I just tried to give life to the "sound" of the season. And if nothing else, it can be a different accompaniment to those ever important long tone/flow studies. Hope you enjoy!
