NickD has a spectacular aura about
Diaphragm...

Actually, I don't think the diaphragm can push air out. It only works for inhalation. I believe the abs and lower back muscles push the air out when we blow.

That having been said the idea of using air properly instead of lip pressure is good wisdom! (IMHO)
