Thanks so much, my friend. I feel extremely special to have warranted an entire 46 minute video addressed to me! It truly means a lot. So, what do you suggest I do now? Should I just stay on the Largo foundation for a while, just practicing the breathing and Maaooohhh tutututu with visualiser, mouthpiece, and leadpipe, or should I also move into the Largo Singing C series? If I do the singing C series, I will have to play my standard way which is not with a true Maaoohhh lip setting. This is kind of where I got confused before, thinking, well I’m just doing what I normally do so nothing will change. I suppose I can really focus on not using any exertion or abdominal push, but I do believe that I don’t use that already until perhaps above the staff.

Best wishes to your mum.
