Atlanta is not the most pedestrian friendly city. But in the hopes to give relief to the epic traffic problems of the city, Atlanta has recently taken many steps in encouraging people to walk to their destinations. Georgia State University, located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, has taken steps to insure the safety of pedestrians by installing crosswalks that beep when it is safe to cross. However, you want to make sure you are out of the street when the beeping stops. Atlanta's hospitality does have its limits.

Extended Techniques:
Pizzacato – Finger the pitch indicated by the notation. Use a hard “Do” or “Tu” articulation to produce a percussive effect similar to what you may hear strings produce when plucking strings. 
Jet Whistle – Finger the pitch indicated in the notation. Cover the embouchure hole completely with the lips. Blow using an extreme force of air. 
So, Ka, Tu, Za – In a “beat boxing” style, use these syllables as articulation for the pitch indicated in the notation. This will not produce a full tone, but more of a breathy percussive effect.
