New Note
Please watch the video clip on half-holing G2. G2, requires that the first finger on the left hand rolls down to vent the top of the hole. Although the tern, “half-hole” is applied to this fingering (and some others that you will learn later) the portion of the hole that should be covered is actually more like three quarters. From a closed position, the first finger pivots downwards, without lifting the finger. If the note squeaks or growls, experiment with the amount of the first hole you cover. Remember to use the Eb resonance key with your left hand little finger.
