To do so wiggles the valves and varies the air flow through them, right? Same principle.

So all a singer would need to do would be, say, jump up and down on one leg?

Perhaps you should set up a video camera, and record trying it so we can all review the results of the experiment?

that last for barfle.
See, you can actually notate a tremolo. In fact, you have to. Unlike a trill which is a standard default, usually to the next higher whole tone in the key (someimes not), a tremolo is between very specific notes.

There are other notations but that'll do.

Howdy OT,

The famous duet, which B.com plays frequently, is called "Au Fond du Temple Saint" and is the tenor/baritone duet.

This one was different, yet also great.

Regards,
Tim B.

Je = I
Crois = Believe
Entendre = hear/understand
Encore = yet again.

Au = In the
Fond = bottom/background
du = some/any
Temple = Temple
Saint = Saint/holy

Is Stephen Hawking capable of vibrato?

Does a duck's vibrato have an echo?

Hi Tim, thanks. I don't speak French, and didn't know the proper title of the duet.

If a soprano vibratoes in the middle of the forest, do we still need ear plugs?
