It is pretty funny but works like a gem. Toshio Takahashi came up with this way to have a concrete way to teach begiiners embouchure and sound production.

For my beginning piano students, I emphasize the twelve major and minor scales with proper fingering, first one octave and then two octaves.

The student increases in technique and start to master music theory simultaneously. Read More
