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.
While practicing the singing c exercises…[Read more]

Thanks for engaging in the post.
I am actually in no rush at all, in fact for the past few days I have even abandoned my normal practice routine (I want to forget about all my old bad habits). I have realized that the benefit of being a comeback player is I have absolutely no obligations. Which means I have plenty of time to invest now…[Read more]

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.
