My first teacher used the tonic scale up from Fundamental-->10, then
dominant scale down; increasing by semi-tones until things started to get
strained, then decreasing and re-ascending later. She varied the vowel
starting with "a", then to "o" with "a" on top, then to "o" throughout,
then to "o" with "e" on top, then "e" throughout, etc.
My current teacher seems to prefer the "full frontal assault" method of
glissando from Fundamental-->9 and back on "o", then "e", (or "a" if I
mess it up., etc; and also increasing by semi-tones. For me, this latter
method is a bit harder on the ears; but, like the first method, once I get
over the angst, I'll hopefully like it, too. For right now,
though...ughhhh!!
