Or, sorry if I sounded if I questioned the Pops methods and his success as a teacher. He must be a great teacher according to numerous testimonials to his trumpet school.
I only wanted to suggest and idea that there is no probably quick and easy solution that can immediately change one’s concept of playing and make a sudden transition from tense -> to -> effortless playing regardless of what means are used.
That’s what you Greg mention in some of your videos and it makes a lot of sense. Changes probably take months, at the least and all that time one must be aware of his new approach and what is more important not to deceive themselves that they move towards a new way of playing while substituting new concepts with the old habits.
Sorry, just rambling.
