let me amend that- fast and slow air also affects the vibration of your
lips, as does your aperture. slower air for lower notes until you hit
low-low notes then the aperture needs to come together, and the bottom
lip needs to "turn out" a bit while the chin goes out blah blah blah-
faster air for higher to some extent. also the speed of your air will
affect how tight your embouchure becomes, etc...
ah, the mechanics of horn playing...

I once received mail from Mr. Mansur stating that a hornist uses
slower air
than a trumpet player. My teacher says use "floaty" air as if on a
cloud
(maybe the imagery is unclear), but she also said don't use "gail
force wind"
air. Is there a way to compare the force of air that a hornist uses
vs. the
speed of air that a trumpet uses for example:
Horn: warm air as in to warm your hands in the wintertime
Trumpet: Blow out birthday candles
These are the images that she thinks of. Is these good images for me
to use?
