Well a shake is different than a lip trill. The way I look at it (and if I am wrong or going about it the wrong way, someone let me know) there can be two settings in regards to the pressue you use. When you play the higher note, the instrument should have just a little more pressure than the lower one. To reach the lower one, you simply let off a little in pressure then take it back up a little.

I don't know if you know what I mean, I don't think I am explaining it very well.

Basically pull and release in pressure on one note.

Sorry if this didn't help much
