Hi Jason,

Finding that liquid release between notes in different registers by determining the best relationship (for you) between glissando/crescendo (focus) as you go up and glissando/making the air column wider as you go down.

Many only learn to blow at one speed and add tension as they ascend and wash their sound out as the descend, resulting in bad sound, bad flexibility, and no range. Yikes (we've heard it a million times, haven't we?)

Best,
EC
