| Piccolo problems
Hey Manny,
I'm having a rough time moving from my piccolo to my regular trumpets. I'm finding that my sound thins out and I become less comfortable moving around on my horn. It seems like it takes me around 30 minutes for me to get used to playing my Bb again.
Could it be the mouthpiece? I use a mouthpiece identical in size to that of my regular horns. Could it just be fatigue? I don't really feel tired, just tight.
I'm guessing that I'm too tense about my approach to piccolo - I guess I'm wondering how (or if) I can play the instrument in a more relaxed, efficient way. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt |
