What is the tricky spot in New Wave Bossa Nova?
The leap from F, the lowest note, up to B, straight after the steps down through A. The fingers have to move together, and the B needs firmer air than the F. On a 12-hole, New Wave Bossa Nova goes from F to B: you lift the left ring, left middle and right index. On a 6-hole, you swap hands: lift the left middle and left index and cover the right middle.
How do you hold and breathe for New Wave Bossa Nova?
Keep the air steady through the first four notes, which move in small steps, then ease off for the F and bring it back for the B. The final A is the place to let the air relax. To check your breath, hold each note of New Wave Bossa Nova in turn and watch it on a tuner such as our free ocarina tuner.
