  7. A strained sound comes from either; straining facial muscles, too much tension or too much mouthpiece pressure. difference on facebook .
  8. Remember to relax the face before AND after playing. Tension stops vibrations and so it hurts playing. WE need to relax several times a day.
  9. Get dental impressions made!!!!! If you lose a tooth, need bonding... they have to make guesses and unless they get lucky playing suffers.
  10. While buzzing place the mouthpiece.Do that EVERY time you take a breath. http://bit.ly/10LddL
  11. I get asked alot about how to close the embouchure or how to know if the lips are touching...
  12. If you close the throat; yawn often in practice and practice breathing with a 1" tube between your teeth; that spacing opens the throat.
  13. Soft, softer, softer, practice can really improve, tone, focus, and response. Clarke Tech studies is pp>ppp for a reason. I play soft daily.
  14. Change things up Do your practice routine backwards. Do the last thing first... the first thing last. Even little changes like this can help
  15. Practice mutes: The least pressure comes from using a cup mute and putting foam in it. You can get foam at a fabric store.
  16. @tadabstracts The least pressure comes from using a cup mute and putting foam in it. You can get foam at a fabric store.
  17. We breathe and play based on a rhythm. Tapping your foot helps keep the breathing and blowing balanced. IT actually helps attacks.
  18. Learning to LET the notes out made my range usable and loud. Getting my teeth more open, less mpc pressure , less curl, less tension....
  19. @jazz_trpt Give em hell.
  20. When we make lip compression we need to reduce mouthpiece pressure so the vibrations stay free.
