Re: Round Orchestral Sound

Ever notice that the winning runner will run through the tape at the finish line? Sometimes, when we have a run gpong up to a high note we'll sort of stop at the high note, and it will sound anything but round and effortless. As you practice the run, imagine continuing the run past the high a, and remember the sound and feel of the high a when it is one of these middle tones, rather than the top one. This should help. Yet another alternate fingering for high a is 2nd valve, if you find 3 too low and 12 too high.

Have fun!
