Sorry this post slipped into the wrong place…Hi Greg
A couple of weeks ago I joined a po

Hi Greg, hope you are doing well on the tour
I join tomismemnoch and Paul with the jaw issue. I am working in the premium level on the e until g and I think caused by my overbite my lower lip goes a little bit under my upper teeth when I try to produce the f, fsharp and g. I have no idea how to work on. I now ask you is this because I am only half…[Read more]

Hi rwcarson11. Now I got it, I just upgraded to the Premium level and there is a link for a pdf download of the Mtm book. I think I have no access to the files, that’S it.

Hi Greg thanks again for your reply
Aside following the instructiones of the largo and andante level I try to improvise with the few tones which I can already play in the lower register and try to play simple melodies and that’s what I sometimes feel on one day to play nice and clear and on the other day I think the trumpet is clogged or the tones…[Read more]

Hi Greg thanks for your reply. I play sometimes golf in holidays in the US. But it is too little to really progress. In Switzerland you must be a member and that costs a fortune. So I hope to progress on he trumpet. I have another question, the short time now that I practice I noticed that somedays I cannot even produce tones half so clean as the…[Read more]
