You’ve given me so much over the years I feel like I’m stealing from you. But that’s the kind of generous soul you are, and the world’s a better place because of it.

I suppose there’s only so far you can pull the drawstring before the bag closes up completely.

I’m probably not resting enough between transitions. And yes, I am so aware of the pinch in my lips now when I ascend which results in me having to force air through. I want it GONE!

I do my Windworks exercises, which for me is trying to gradually get better at playing with a mmaaoohh lip setting. This has been slowly improving.

I am very intrigued by your experience of switching between “2 embouchures” when you first started this transition. Could you elaborate more on what your old setup was? I feel I am in the same boat.

I suppose part of my confusion is that I thought we wanted the embouchure to come forward more as well as in.

Your explanation makes more clear that paradox of the lip corners appearing to pull back when they are actually moving inwards. I really wish there was a way to know 100% what is going on inside the mouthpiece when we play. Maybe that would help me figure out some things. I’m thinking of making a new video to…[Read more]

Over and over, just the same pitch, maybe a little variance above and below. A few times the pitch dropped way down – an octave or so, I can’t remember.

Not as much luck on the horn today, so I’ll stay focused on the leadpipe.

A full, big pedal C came out! I have NEVER been able to play one without bending down to it using 7th position! Now I understand why some guys say a big thing is to be able to play a pedal C with no valves!
