| Re: What to do when you've been playing wrong for years.
The puffing is usually a result of weak corners. Focus on keeping firm corners (the pencil trick helps) while still maintaining a soft middle of the lips. I'm gonna be completely honest here, as a near educator (I'm in my last semester of an ed program), it really upsets me to see that you've played for 6 years and not one director has spotted that, then again, these Texas bands spoil me =)
