De La Sonorite - Marcel Moyse

This is my comprehensive guide to how I use Marcel Moyse's tonal guide "De La Sonorite". Mostly for use by my students, please reach out if you need clarification or help in any way.

Thanks for this very helpful video. My teacher gave me some photocopied pages from this book 30 years ago, just before I put my flute aside. Now, 30 years later I had it overhauled, found a teacher, started as a beginner again and found this book. I'm so glad you have suggested a non-linear approach, now it all makes sense and is a wonderful complement to the 158 Saxophone Studies by Sigurd Rascher that I use with my tenor sax (I'm not a beginner on that!).

Thank you so much for this video! It showed me exactly what i was looking for. I immediately grabbed a pen and made notes into my book. I'm a student without a teacher and bought a copy of Moyse's De La Sonorité a couple of weeks ago. I just needed someone to tell me what to do or how to do it, but most of all: play it to me!
Just one tiny question: You mentioned a drone at the end of your video. What is it good for? I have an app called Drone Tuner, but have no idea how it can help me and how i can include it into my practice.

Neptuna15 I'm so glad you found this helpful! Please reach out with any other questions you have :) A drone is a recorded sound that will play one single note (or sometimes an interval of two notes) over a period of a minute or more so you can practice playing that same pitch and matching It for intonation. Perhaps I should do a video on this as well! What you want to do is play the drone, put on the tuner so you can see that It is in tune, then close your eyes and play the same note trying to match It exactly. Once It's in tune, open your eyes and your tuner will tell you if you're actually as in tune as you think. Over time It gets easier. This is super helpful for ensemble playing and for solos with piano.
I'm not sure where you are in the world, but I do offer discounted lessons over skype and FaceTime if you might be at all interested :) check out my website www.brandonlepage.com for more info and I'll also be putting up some tips and tricks on It as well!
