Dear List,
How can I build my embouchure and facial muscles?? Are there any
techniques I could use without touching the horn

I refuse to answer such a meaningless question, sorry.
Statistics is a serious and difficult matter, to be handled by
experts; otherwise tou just add to the general confusion, and I won't

I read the buzzing without the mouthpiece posts with interest. I am glad to
see that the tone of the discussion is different than previous similar

We had a visit from the National Arts Orchestra (Canada) in preparation
