| Lip soreness
Manny,
How is everything? It's been a long time...
Starting school and joining ensembles is always a tough thing at first because of how much playing you are doing comparative to the summer when you just practice.
Is it normal for the lip to get tight and a little swollen in a situation like this or should it always feel "normal." After rehearsals, even though my lip might be tired I still have much more to work on for lessons and such and I can't afford to take time off the horn. Is there a way around this tightness or is it just an adjustment like lifting weights after not lifting for a long time and dealing with soreness?
Jeremy
