Re: Your ideal sound concept

Prior to studying with Alex I'd have had great difficulty in answering this.

She helped me find my voice and it's the same one Glenn describes.

I try for full, rich, warm, and Legato Melodic sounds. This is the essence of who I want to be.

Rather then have any one player in mind I use the voice in my head and "Sing" the way I want to sound. I think most of the time it works well for me.

I think if I were to think to much about it I'd want my sound to be made up of so many different people's that I'd never get it right so most of the time I just put the horn on my chops; listen to the voice in my head as I read the music and play!
