My sound is good, I have a fine tone but my sound becomes hard when I increase my volume. I need the sound to become bigger not louder.
Can anyone give me some helpful advice? I'm hoping for techniques, reading material etc.
Thanks in advance. I hope my English is ok. |
rdines,
first, your English is great. Better than some Americans I know.
anyway. Regarding tone: I recommend listening to some great players. There are a lot of great players on the Monette site (google it).
In terms our power/endurance, I recommend Walter Smith's Top Tones, and the Schilke power exercises (not sure where you can get them now)
Listen, listen, listen
