| Lower Jaw position
Tony,
I need to know where my lower jaw should be while playing. I am trying to put a little pressure on the mouth piece with my lower lip as a way of positioning my jaw. I also lowered my horn from straight out to down a little. I think this is helping control the aperture above the staff. I still drop my jaw when playing low but I am trying to keep the lower lip against the mouth piece even for g below the staff. This will take some time.
It looks like I'm going to play the 3rd book for "42nd St." I don't have the endurance to play 1st. We will be looking for a pro in the St. Louis area to cover.
