Mr. Jacobs taught me to listen for "OOH-tOOH."

Hear the sound the air makes on the inhalation (OOOH, an open rushing sound) with the "tOOOH" articulation sound at the end of the inhale. All one motion, all a similar sound. The smaller t for me because I'd tend to hit it hard!!

Keith Johnson, my trumpet teacher then at Northern Iowa, taught this as well. How it sounded out front of the bell dictates what goes on physically. We would spend plenty of time matching articulations, back and forth, just listening to what's the same, what's different, what's the goal.

Thanks Keith!
