I haven't played at all for about a year, and I've just started practicing again in the last week as it looks like work is going to ease of for a while.

Question on tone production
I'm finding it impossible to hold an absolutely even tone in terms of pitch. My long tones have little blips in the pitch going up and down - about 1-3 blips per second, but the blips are very short themselves.

I'm working on this by just carefully listening and keeping even tone and breathflow - hard to tell if its getting better.

Is it just a question of practice, or do I have mad cow disease and its giving me the shakes?
