| Re: Early struggles
I'd echo the other replies and try to find the best teacher you can - worked wonders for me. From what you describe it sounds as if you are getting something right - ie tongue support. keeping the tongue as high in the mouth as possible all the time is essential imho since that will give you fast air = high notes with good breath support. also means you don't have to blow as hard to play in the low-mid register = better endurance. its probably a matter of practice to get articulation and pitch sorted using that setup thereafter. |
