| Re: Lower Jaw position
If you have normal jaws they are not aligned - the upper teeth a goin infront of the lower ones. That's why many trumpet a shifting the lower jaw forward in order to equalize the tension on both jaws. This makes also holding your horn bit more upright. These are basics, but still from one to another person there this may be different. Anthony Parkins and Rod Franks are explaining and demonstrating this in their Playing Trumpet Multimedia Foundation course but I am not sure if this is still available |
