Beg to differ - trying to hold your breath during a laughing attack is
NOT a good idea. Drinking water during a laughing attack is a less good
idea. In either case, when the explosion comes, your laughing attack
will be famous. If you are capable of holding your breath or getting
liquid down
Dear Hans,
Thank you so much for sharing this clip with us. I really enjoyed Nury's
playing. So musical. And what a picture perfect embouchure!
I'm curious as to how she ever got enough air into the horn to make such a
beautiful sound...she certainly looked like she was only taking small
breaths
Drinking water (or other gulpable liquid) while holding one's breath is
supposed to work

The best cure for hiccups or a laughing attack was to be playing under Dr.
Revelli and have him stare at you.

Well, it seems that through my naivety I have invoked the ire of the
list. Please forgive me, and I will keep this in mind the next time I
play a piece. Thank you for informing me of this, and I assure you that
I was not trying to insult any of you or the music.

Hello Da
I used to keep my mutes in mute holders attached to my stand. In
preparation for an upcoming muted passage I reached for my mute. As I pulled
out of its holder, it slipped out of my hand. I tried desperately to catch
it before it hit the floor. Didn't do it right and it ended up flying

Hi Tim!
I'm in high school, too, and have had a few embarassing experiences like

Once, a lightbulb exploded and hit me on the head, giving me a headache for

Sorry if this question is a bit mundane; how much

Thanks for the help!

Hi Valerie,
I remember in a master class I attended with Barry Tuckwell, he warned
us to be wary of those days when your lip felt "perfect" because
that's just when you would be tempted to overdo it.
Moral of story: pace yourself!

Tim,
Don't despair! Things happen...
Many years ago when I was principal horn in the Air Force band, we
were tasked to perform at a very high-level soirée at an embassy
garden party. (I won't include names to protect the innocent!) As the
military attaché approached the bandstand, the band
