Developing the altissimo register forces your sound, airflow, and throat position to become dramatically stronger. Training these high notes turns into the best ear training you’ll ever do—hearing pitches before you play them and shaping a clearer, more powerful tone across your entire range.

  • Train overtones and octaves to build real altissimo control.
    Your ears learn every pitch before you play it.

  • Strengthen airflow, throat position, and tone production.
    A clearer, stronger sound starts with hearing the note first.

  • Add high notes to any exercise to expand your range.
    Each new note sharpens both your ear and your sound.
