In many instrances the inclusion of High C# and evn C in daily execises is more harmful than profitable on account of the strain on the lips; and many teachers object to the abuse of these high notes. But as they are more and more frequently found in modern compositions I have decided to write all these exercises up to C and C#, providing an optional cut each time. The conventional cut sings ( ) will be found in each exercise.
