My voice, eh? Heh, heh, well, thanks, man!
OK, TCE stands for tongue controlled embouchure. It is Jerry Callet's thing. I took some lessons from Jerry and Carmine Caruso many yers ago. I was impressed by the ease with which Jerry could navigte the range of the horn. I couldn't get my head into the Superchops thing, though. I then saw a review of Trumpet Secrets in the last ITG Journal. They described somethng very close to what I do. I figured that I might be able to make my own thing even beter by applying the new Callet thing. So far so good! I had one heck of a night of practice. I'm going to record some of the exercies from the book in the next couple of days.
Jerry is controversial, but I think his heart is in the right place. He seems to have found a way to articulate his ideas that connect with me. Hit the TH post and see some of the other stuff I've posted.
Once I've exhausted my exploration of the TCE thing, I want to check out the Balanced Embouchure approach and compare.
FWIIW...
Peace.
