[Hornlist] Lip Maintenance

2005-01-05 Thread Karl W. Feinauer
When I picked up my horn today, I noticed that my lips felt great: they buzzed and responded excellently and they were in top-shape condition and strength. However, it seems that my lips fall in stages, which, to say the least, is not good. One week my lips will be quite rigid and stiff, so I will

[Hornlist] High Notes

2004-12-07 Thread Karl W. Feinauer
I am a student, and I have done a lot of high register playing lately. As I go high, I notice my lips can handle the notes all the way up to the C, were I lose it.
