| Re: My throat hurts!! I heard a seminar on this at one of the trumpet guild conferences. It was Armando Ghitalla who recommended thinking the English sound Ah, as in "Ahhhh that feels good". But, he also said he liked the French Au as in "Oh say can you see" but more French. His discussion may have had to do with tongue level in the mouth but I would think it could help in keeping the throat open.
