I suggest you see a Doctor and have it checked out. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 1:26 PM Subject: [Hornlist] A weird thing happened to me two days ago...
: I was practicing Fanfare for the Common Man today, and I got a really weird : sensation when hitting the high Bb's. I nearly blacked out. Later during : the day (actually, it was in German class) I felt like there was a different : pulse in the left side of my neck and something has felt strained since : then... : : Back to the blacking out, though. I called my teacher to ask what to do : about it because this has never happened to me before. He said that I have : to stop pocketing air in my throat while trying to force the notes out up : top, but I don't know how to do this because that's how I'm used to hitting : the upper range. Any suggestions? He also said that it's time for me to : move on to a mouthpiece with a larger inner diameter. I already am using a : Schilke 31b. He want's me to go to a mouthpiece that has close to a 19 mm : inner diameter because he says that combined with my embouchure and what he : says are the thickest lips out of any student he has, the 31b does me no : good. Any suggestions on mouthpieces? I really want to not have this happen : again, so I hope I get help. Thanks in advance. : : Mike Scheimer, Pittsburgh : _______________________________________________ : post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/pmanly%40icehouse.net _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
