That sounds very similar to some of the stuff that I am currently learning out of the Don Jacoby book, although Don didn't stress blowing harder so much as using air more efficiently. One of the concepts in the Jacoby book is that notes are not higher, they are further away, and sound becomes more focused the "futher away" you get - sort of a cone effect.

I think that part of it is physical, and the other part is using mental imagery to trick your chops and air into doing the correct things to play musically and efficently.

Thanks for the reply. Anyone else?
