Thanks.

Greg: I enjoyed your rant. I keep cycling back here. It is a slow re-education of my mind. I have to do a little, really absorb that and then come back again.
Recently, I can sort of envision the aperture becoming smaller and that really helps. The reinforcement of “from the sides” and the corners and the “mmmmmahhhhoooo” then…[Read more]

I had noticed that that Drone tones had been added to the MtoM first book, but had no idea of how to use them I have been going through the Largo stage and have gotten to the Singing C/C# lesson. Here are my questions:
1. I assume that the drone is only…[Read more]

I guess I still have a way to go to get it all completely together. But I appreciate the help.

I think that is really good for tonguing along the way. How do you relate this to your initial tonguing, starting note?

Thanks Greg for the video (glad to see you are using Vimeo, excellent service). This information is in the MTM book in slightly different form, but this makes it a lot clearer. I hope you will leave it up here. I am going to have to watch it several times to copy all of this.

It is certainly worth a try. I don’t worry about the tongue ordinarily, but the book talks about this, so I brought it up. I will try some legato stuff. That is probably a great way to get a feel for what is bothering me about my tonguing.
By “contact the lip and change pitch” do you mean the tongue comes in contact with the lips and…[Read more]

I want to lighten my tonguing because it is a little heavy, too noticeable most of the time. I want clean note starts and stops without any noise as distinct from slurring.
(I have played for a long time, but am using the M2M books to improve my playing, especially in the…[Read more]
