Re: My Lesson w/Roger Ingram

I too am confused by the "more pink". As a teacher, I see kids using alot of pink and getting a horrible tone and having no real usable range. When they use more "face" it improves the control, tone, and range in both directions.

Personally, I find I have a much fatter tone and more consistent range with more face in the mouthpiece. I really thin out if I let my lips separate to much.

Hey, everyone has their way and whatever works for them may not work for others. As long as you sound good and arent hurting yourself do what gets the job done.
