Pedagogy Gems

Articulation
- the tongue doesn't start the note, the air does. Just let the tongue fall as the air pushes through.
- practice isolated single tones in all registers

A Daily Routine
- the routine for every player is unique
- avoid distractions
- your routine must work on your problem areas as well as reinforce fundamentals

Range
- the note before the high note is almost more important than the high note
- low range is all about sensitive adjustment of the oral cavity
- high range air = small volume, high speed. Low range air = large volume, low speed
