Hi Chuck!

Welcome to M2M! My situation is similar to yours, but I married a trombone player instead of a vocalist, and I (thankfully) only have two kids.

I’ve always had good range, but had way too much back pressure, not enough endurance or consistency. Wind Works has totally revamped my playing, with bits of other stuff mixed in (Bobby Shew and some Lynn Nicholson). My playing today is so much more free and consistent, and my range is consistently better. The ease of playing though is one of the most surprising benefits. When you watch the great players play they don’t look like they are killing themselves – I’m finally starting to unlock this as well, and it’s so much more fun…

Good luck, and ENJOY THE JOURNEY!
