Regarding the drill itself I have the feeling of no note -> note by adjusting slightly the apeture corner.

My question is regarding the milkspout (~3:15 in largo stage – leadpipe), do I want the wet part of my lip (feels like my inner lip) to be ‘exposed’ in the mouthpiece?

Or have I missed the idea of the milkspout?

Regarding the mouth piece and lip / skin line, am I wanting to have the largest circle circumference of the mouthpiece on the lip line?

And I’m speculating (early in the process) that it lessens tension of the muscles of the lips and surrounding area hence enables effortless playing and space in the mouthpiece for subtle articulations.

I can get the tissue and tissue w/visualiser moving as desired but was wondering where should the tongue be during these drills?

Also it’s a mystery as to where the tongue should be during playing as I’m a complete newbie but I’m assuming it changes during different articulations?
