Joyce DiDonato teaches a student to trill.

oK we've got 30 seconds to figure out how to do a trill awesome here's the thing if you're gonna do a trill yeah it needs to be a trill yeah absolutely can't fake it how does one do true it's so easy no people have different definitions of it I got into a discussion with Miss Marilyn Horne and and I said oh yeah I think you know I think you have to really work at the trill she's like they come naturally point oh I had to work on mine okay I still do and your trill was awesome I loved that it came naturally it's an exercise okay and it's boring totally unartistic work which is so boring to us right but if you can master it it can become really artistic so middle C high C middle G high E where this starts yeah in your core you're going to do it piano you're into mezzo piano em it's a Forte mixing it up you're going to do different vowels and you're going to do whole step and half step yeah so all different combinations and never the two in the same way so again we don't work that groove into the voice and it's just really sporting you can even use it with a metronome you're going to go whole note to half note to quarter note to triplet to eighth note to 16th so it'll be like oh and concentrating on the upper note because when we get a trill people will pulse the bottom note and what makes the trill is the upper note Oh Oh Oh breathe where you need Oh and then you try and like let it go it's the controlled loss of control okay yeah so but you've got to let the chords get used to what free free going back and forth that the pitch is changing here nothing's happening here Oh Oh then I'm going to stop myself it's like can i still hear that sect that top note and you just play around like that literally five minutes a day yeah in a month you'll have a trill cool maybe six weeks I don't know baby but it has to be don't make sound doing it just let it be really kind of easy yeah but do that because the repertoire you're going to do you need a true yeah it's an excusable not to have one and you can get it that's the thing I mean you may have a better or worse one but you can at least have that's really
