Thanks Richard,
This post contains what I consider to be the 2 most fundemental concepts of playing:
Deep inhale/exhale with NO tension in the transition and training air without the tongue. Once you have that down most of the other mechanical things about playing fall into place. If this is not mastered, a lot of energy is wasted on practicing things that would otherwise be useful (but only serve to compensate for other sins if the air is not "right").............
