ARE YOU READY FOR LIFTOFF?
Making changes can be challenging so let Greg, your 24/7 mentor, guide you through the challenging process of refining your approach.
There is a lot of playing to come but your thought processes need to be addressed first; how you think is how you play.
As challenging as it can be, be sure to leave your preconceived ideas at the door.
This is all new material ONLY for WindWorks members like you.
Be sure to re-watch the “Concept” videos starting with the Sound Equation video on the next page to reinforce your new ideas on a regular basis; simply watching the videos once is not enough.
Make reminder notes in the comments box provided at the bottom of each page. Next time you log in, you will find your notes on the dashboard as a reminder.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SOUND
Be sure you know what you want to SOUND like. Make sure you hear as many live performances as possible. The acoustic sounds produced by professional performers will encourage you to have a beautiful sound and a joyous playing experience.

It Had Better Be Tonight
WindWorks Foundation Level
WindWorks LARGO members are a very mixed bag ranging from outright beginners through to seasoned pros that have realised the error of their ways and need to reboot. This dignified lot realise the importance of efficiency and purity of sound.
The pieces played by these guys are slow and low but beautiful brass playing in the low register at a slow tempo can often be the most demanding.
LARGO members are patient observers of the learning process who are bursting with joy at the mere thought of playing their instrument; they also know the importance of developing a healthy fundamental range.
MTM ADAGIO members are the naughty kids from around the block. They still nail the Bronze Medal Stage daily but have a bit of attitude ‘coz they “sound so good yo!”
This unruly mob are hitting up the Silver Medal Stage in a leisurely, but cool, way as they know that rushing will only let negative tension in which will ultimately lead to their demise.
Some of the more courageous ADAGIO dudes are adding in the advanced “Singing C” supplementary exercises to their Silver Medal practise. We would love to tell you more now BUT you gotta earn it!

Greg - wow, I am blown away by the videos. I discovered the leadpipe thing and no buzzing but just air in the mouthpiece about a year ago and never looked back. These videos hit the nail right on the head - amazing information!
