Book excerpt: Rangesongs develops your high and low ranges by using target notes in a musical context to encourage you to move your air properly. For the high range, Rangesongs offers forty songs designed to improve your range and endurance systematically by using two strategies: the phrases within each song are specifically composed to build melodically to a designated target note, providing a compelling musical incentive to support the tone with the proper air speed; and the songs proceed chromatically to reach a high C for gradual improvement. For the low range, Rangesongs offers sixty-five songs to extend the range downward in the same fashion to a pedal E-flat.
