Finished! - what a great experience - although I've done long tones every day for a long long time - this is the first time I ever did 100 per day for 31 days ( about one hour per day depending on the note )...
Really enlightening and educational...here's a jpeg of my Long Tone Log: http://mattotto.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/31-Day-Log.jpg
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)

Some supervision is required.

On my 11th day today. Struggling to fit it in while not giving other things up, but hanging in there so far.

It has certainly highlighted that although I have been playing the same mouthpiece for years, I haven't gotten all that much control over it.

Cheers,

Dave

I am going to try this, but I'm not sure what would be the most beneficial approach if I want to incorporate both soprano and tenor: should I alternate days per horn [or] divide each daily session between sop and tenor each day. I'm leaning towards the latter, i.e., dividing each day/session between the two horns (50 long tones per horn).

I'd be interested in hearing any theories on what others think might be a good approach to consider.

(Any one else notice Matt's well-executed Lotus position? How hip is that? As I've heard Dave Liebman put it in a few of his masterclasses I've attended: "That's some Eastern kind of sh*t.")
