The only thing I think of consciously is thinking of playing everything as open throated as I can , and not thinking of EEE. Every time I thought EEE, I felt pinched. So even as high as I'm trying to play I think Ahhh, so I'm open, Always. EEE just seems to pinch the sound. I'm thinking of the concentration here and here. I try to think of everything as open and as relaxed as I can.

In his book "Trumpet Today" Bud Brisbois actually tells the player to play TA for low notes and EEE for the high notes, all the time keeping the corners of the lips firm.
Does anyone have any views on this? Did he change his ideas on this? The notes above were from 1972 and the book was published in 1964.
