    Hi all,

    Thanks a lot for your posts!

    Whistling for me is an effortless activity and I don’t need to think about what’s going on in my oral cavity nor lips in order to change pitch.
    Nevertheless I have decided to spend some time analysing what’s happening as I change pitch when I whistle. I have realised that actually very little change is…[Read more]

    So I have been practicing the foundation exercises and singing c in the beginning of the largo stage.
    While it is pretty straight forward for me to understand the concert hall breath and the slingshot air release, I confess I still struggle a lot to understand how the shape has to change to change pitch.

    I am a comeback player. Played the trumpet for 6 years (14 to 20 years old), and haven’t touched the horn for 8 years. 3 months ago started playing again on my own. I have been using stuff I learned back in the days, I. E. Pedal tones, Clarke, Collins, ascending arpeggios for range, etc. I have been having a very inconsistent playing, in the sense…[Read more]
