I didn't heat what you heard, Steve. I thought it sounded clear, clean & solid. Maybe you're hearing what you expect to hear based upon a preconceived idea????? -- Valerie Wells The Balanced Embouchure Method http://bebabe.wordpress.com/ http://www.beforhorn.blogspot.com/
???? I'm not sure I really like that quality.? What I'm hearing is, an unstable beginning of each note, ramping up to a vowel sound and then the vowel sound gets unstable at the end of each note.? In slow motion, kind of a dtwaaaaoooud (very Arabic, that), but of course all happening very quickly.? Maybe it's the tongue moving up to stop the note that changes the vowel towards the end of the note?? Somehow though, it does seem to leave the beginning of the next note unstable.? ??? Some advice I heard and liked was that if the note sounds beautiful and stable at the very end, the beginning of the next note will be easy, clear and stable.? I think that's because it means the air will be stable and absolutely ready for the beginning of the next note. ??? Anyway, sorry I'm not trying to harsh out on you!, just trying to analyze what I'm hearing.? - Steve Mumford _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
