Exercise playing long notes

Play long notes with full breaths. Do not strain at the end, but remain relaxed.
When the note has finished, inhale fully and play the same note again.
Once you have practised this a few times repeat the exercise starting very soft and increasing in volume to the end of the note. Try to time the increase so that you don't arrive too soon at the loud note.
