I’m going to follow Greg’s instruction and your advice and keep you posted. I’ve been playing Clarke, Arban’s, St. Jacombe since I was in my teens and I’m 62 now and still I couldn’t get it right. But I just kept plugging away. I have a ministry…[Read more]

I’m going to diligently practice all the way through. Sometimes the only thing that keeps a person from reaching their full potential is the right teacher. I believe we’ve found just that. This has to work. It makes too much sense and it feels right. I’m anxious to get to the higher range to experience how…[Read more]

It’s a gradual release of air that is not defined by a push or kick. The air is released and the shape (tension) is adjusted.

That is what I am not getting. Also, what would 5 – 20 seconds at any metronome speed translate to in terms of time signature? I want to play these correctly but I’m not getting it. In the videos that I have seen so far, Greg is speaking…[Read more]

You are both brilliant. Time to work. I’m gonna get this. I studied with Roy Stevens when I was in my teens for four years and we dealt with a lot of tension. I still have my books but could never master the method. This approach is more plausible. Let’s go. I’ll keep you posted.

I’ll check again. I really would like to find a playing example. I don’t want to do it the way I think it is I want to do everything the right way. Thanks.

I feel like I’m getting it starting with the Largo C# Harmonic Slurs but I have to play extremely slow in order to feel it as slurs have always been my worse articulation.

I’m currently working on some big band arrangement for my favorite hymns and even when I write and think about where I want the arrangement to go and mimic it without my horn I get a headache. Do you know why? Because the first thing I do is tense up my body and pretend I’m…[Read more]

You’re a blessing.

Is that normal or the feeling I should have? I understand the concept and the application of compression I just have to get it to work without getting a headache. I’m spitting water in the shower to solidify the feeling of compression.…[Read more]

I’m sure that I have to fix this. If not, going higher will not be good.
