Thanks Peters, I like Jason’s videos; he seems like a great guy and player and makes beautiful horns.
I don’t believe it is correct that Greg includes tongue position in his definition of shape, he specifically mentions that tongue does not control pitch it just impacts the quality of the sound.
Some methods attribute tongue arch/level to pitch change. I was taught that as well when I was young in school. I believe that is an important distinction.
While I believe it is a fact that air speed through the aperture does impact pitch, WindWorks focuses on learning how to impact pitch with passive air by engaging the aperture corners from the sides. Active air support isnt apparently needed until above High C or D.
That’s my understanding, for what it’s worth. I’m no expert or instructor, just on this journey as well. Been having great success lately. Ive done multiple laps through WindWorks and have more respect for it each time and get more out each time. Good luck and stick with the course and watch Greg’s videos.
